Ok. I thought you were trying to correct me to say that it happened in Minot. Didn't know what you meant by "Minot..."

Barksdale > Minot
Even though if thats your platform you rotate back and forth.

Sorry to hear that. Surprised I didn't catch wind of this earlier.

I wish. I've been stuck at Barksdale for 14.5 years!

You want to leave Shreveport for Minot?
Dear lord why?

Not now, but at some point earlier in my career it would have been good for career enhancement.

Fwiw I love watching yall above me. Grew up with it, glad to be back home to see it again on a daily basis. Used to live 800 feet from the runway. Nothing better than hearing those monsters roaring for takeoff.

So did Guam tip over?

Davis–Monthan please pick up the nearest white courtesy phone please.

That's going to be extremely difficult. The jets out there aren't really kept in that great of shape. Plus, they don't have several of the upgrades we've done since they were sent out there. We were able to re-generate one a year ago because we were able to pull those upgrade parts off of the jet it was replacing. We won't have that "luxury" this time.

You just got the first one ever pulled out of mothball last year didn't you?
I read the story earlier today and first reaction "Not Good at all"

See above post for why that will not be anywhere as easy.
