Current or Favourite assignment

The 10th TFS was my favorite assignment because the whole experience of living in Europe with all the travel opportunities, festivals, some great Tdy's and working with some of the best People. I also enjoyed being in the 466th FS working with some good friends and knowledgable technicians.

Very cool webpage Doug! I still have some old video of 81-781's TDY to Holloman.......flying with some REAL jets.

Seriously, wasn't the best assignment, where we had the middle-of-the-night snow removal and water heats on Tanker Alert? Also, cold weather cart starts and cleaning breeches in sub-zero temps was THE BEST !!
