I had very little to do with aircraft during my career. I was only stationed at one base with an active runway in my 22 years, and that was Yokota... so all I saw were trash-haulers. True story: The very last thing my Ol' Man (a retired AF Lt Col with over 20 missions in B-17s over Germany) said to me as I was getting on the plane to go down to Lackland back in '63: "Stay away from airplanes." It was probably more serendipity than anything else, but I did just that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Jeff! Glenn and Kath, too!
