My first "Summer Camp" with the FANG, after tech school and then 7 months at Columbus AFB to get my 5 level,
I worked in 75 with F-100, and F-105s,and the F-101s had already retired.
My entrance into the USAF was in 78, with 4 Squadrons of F-4, and Sac was a tenant unit at Shady "J".
I retired out of Eglin/Duke in 2001, and went to the FAA for about 5 years.
I really don't like the FAA, because if ever there was a "cut-throat operation", it's the FAA.

I was stationed up at KI Sawyer back in 75 and 76.

We used to go out to the flightline and watch the F-106 Delta Darts do touch and goes at night.

We sent helicopters out to search for wreckage after the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior.

Ours was a SAC Base with B-52's, KC 135's and the Delta Darts. Loved it there.

I really don't like the FAA, because if ever there was a "cut-throat operation", it's the FAA.

My original plan, was to put in my 4 years in the USAF, then go to work for the FAA. I never did it, because I found out the FAA really is a hostile work environment. I am going to retire in the Philippines, I wonder if they would let me resume my air traffic control career?
