Aww, (sniff).

My son (your now adopted GG son?) will be going into the Air Force this summer after he graduates. We are very proud of him.

Tell GG Son I salute him...

I know he will make us all proud!

Hey, and if he ever gets stationed or passes through Dover AFB (18 miles away), maybe I’ll get a chance to shake his hand.

Even as a Commercial/Multi-engine Pilot (I don’t fly anymore except on rare occasions.) I am totally amazed at the sight of the Air Force C5’s that fly overhead on final approach to Dover.

Can you imagine, over 3/4 of a million pounds when fully loaded - airborne - flying over you.

That’s 9 fully loaded 18 wheeler tractor trailers all strapped together. Unbelievable.
