My wings...

And on Monday I hang up my flight suit for the last time and retire after serving for more that 31 and a half years.

Thank you for your many years of service! My dear pilot husband retired ten months ago and his flight suit is still hanging proudly in his closet. He misses his “hog” everday.
Happy Retirement!

Congrats Alaska ...

But, ya' know, UAV "Wings" indeed....(*snort*). So an underwater drone camera operator/technician would rate Dolphins???

I think that, unless they've personally put that precious rear-end at risk held up between several slabs of aluminum and experienced first hand the hours of boredom broken by moments of stark terror, a person has NO idea what "flying" is about.

But then, that's just me...

Thank you for your service from a (former) Paratrooper, Air Assaulter, and FE of various versions of the CH-47. Not enough salad on the chest to suit me, but enough wings to keep me aloft forever more. Good luck in your coming retirement. Blackbird.
