I am a retired captain with United Airlines. I, also, served in the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve for 26 years as a fighter pilot. I have created a site in which I intend to post items of interest to me. I hope they are interesting to you, too. Please feel free to view my topics as well as my links. Afterward, I would be happy for you to post any comments you like. When doing so, kindly identify yourself as the author. A pen name or pseudonym is acceptable.
I don't know where this took place. In it, a baby moose wanders into a lawn sprinkler. Shortly, its sibling and mother join in the fun. Do you remember running through a sprinkler when you were a child?

On Wednesday, August 3rd, after completing the demanding rigors of basic training, a proud Class of 2015 at the United States Air Force Academy was accepted into the Cadet Wing. To commemorate this occasion all 4,000 cadets participated in a parade at Stillman Field in which the new cadets marched to and joined their new squadrons. I was privileged to be one of 10 members of the class of '75 to present the top 10 basic training graduates with an award. Then, the entire class of 2015 took their "Honor Oath of Allegiance", marched to and joined their new squadrons as full-fledged Air Force Cadets!
I have included, below, some pictures of this event, followed by a video of Larry Fariss delivering the Acceptance speech to the basics on behalf of their "Legacy Class", the class of '75.
