Love the homage to the F-105 pilots from Vietnam days in Korat

[bobbeane]

My dad was at Takhli during Vietnam with F-105s from Moody AFB and joined Air Guard in late 70s right before A-10s came to the 104th FW in Westfield Massachusetts...retired in 97’....some of Osans A-10s are from Westfield as C models now...the 104th has F-15s now from Otis AFB at Cape Cod Mass

That was not a preflight insp. Just a pilot walk around! The crew chief does the preflt and its much more than a walk around!

The Air Force must have no restrictions on jacking aircraft with CATM's loaded. That would never happen in the Navy.

Air Force: "You're being reassigned to the 25th FS." Me: "I'm not wearing that stupid hat". Air Force: nothing...
