My great uncle flew on that plane. Lots of cool stories behind it. He passed this year at the age of 95.

Do you know any of the Viper guys there? I think they are all AL ANG, not sure if the AFRC and ANG guys interact much.

I was an Air Force brat and I never knew the reason for this until you made this post. Seems pretty obvious now.
