Title: You know what's cool?
Post by: Stonewall on September 09, 2016, 12:50:31 AM
My office overlooks Andrews AFB flight line where I see Air Force One come and go among other cool aircraft.

Today I saw a CAP plane take off.

I love the view from my office.

That is all.

I live about a mile from ILG. DEWG has a plane there, the 166th Airlift Wing is there, and that is where VP Biden flies in and out. I get a daily airshow in my back yard....

I used to live 2.4 miles north of Miramar, on a line perpendicular to the runway at show center. We could watch the Blue Angels do the high and crossover portions of their routine from my front yard.

I used to work AFOSI there and it was never fun on base when the POTUS came to town.

I was ground radio -- we used to work on your transceivers. I was there from 94-98. One of my supervisor's neighbors was an engineer there (I think).

Remember the time Clinton got his haircut at LAX? I was there. And the explanations offered didn't come close to explaining what really happened. Short version - 52 minutes of imperious vanity and a locked down runway complex, on top of the shut down caused by him being late, which was on top of the regular shut down.

That's pretty much the message that was delivered. Loud and clear. But, the $40,000 it cost to pay for city and state expenses was appreciated by the recipients. Thanks, taxpayers!
