That's a bit before my time, back when the Hurricane Hunters were active duty.


That is cool. Thanks for the reply. He ended up in Biloxi right after flight training in Del Rio. I love my parents' stories from those days.

Agreed. Took my mom earlier this year. Not looking forward to football season as much, our section will be a little quieter and those away games, my phone won't be blowing up about the refs missing calls.


I completely understand all this. My parents were/are Clemson people, lived in student/family housing while my dad was in Air Force ROTC. They may have never forgiven me for going to UGA. I'm all Dawg, but I'm very glad Clemson got 2 championships before my dad passed. Even when we were stationed at Wright Patterson (1st and 2nd grade for me), we'd drive 9 hours to Clemson for home games. Moved my mom down to GA after dad passed. I don't think I'll invite her over for Clemson vs UGA, but I'll definitely go watch some Clemson games with her later in the season.

Sorry to derail everyone. C-130s straight up kick arse!

Flew in the back of one from Hurlburt Field to Operation Just Cause Panama. Seemed like it took forever. Solid piece of equipment that's been one of the best programs in US military history,
