Thought you, of the many posters here, might like that one!

Yes I do. I much preferred working fighter types, A-10s, F-15s, F-16s, T-38s. They did exactly what we told them to do, when we told them to do it. F-35s and F-22s, were not yet in the inventory, when I retired. I worked heavies at Travis. They were big and slow, but it seemed to take forever to follow instructions. We had parallel runways, end to end. We used to run the fighters 500 feet over top of the heavies. It was exciting. 🤪🤗🤭
