Ping for Aviation Ping list please.
I just found out about this or I would have posted earlier this week.
Saw my first bomber crash at Randolph, first day I signed in for crew training.
It's about time the U.S. Air Force recognized this day as a day of celebration. It should be a national holiday.

What was it?
Happy Birthday
I was thinking about another line of work.
Ah, Randolph.........my birthplace. There's a plaque somewhere, I'm sure of it. Really. I am just sure of it.
Crash Rescue?
I was looking for position as base coward but they said that was not allowed.
LOL
1950 there was nothing around Randolph...Middle of nowhere.
75 years would have to make it one of the early bases. Most of the ones still around probably were built during WWII.
My niece and Goddaughter gave me a present earlier.
A B-Day card with the specifications of the notebook computer she wants for Christmas.
What a wonderful kid. She ain't one to leave you guessing.
Partial hijack of a ping list;)
Gotta love it.
Yep, June 20th, 1930
