Here I sit in Maine, snow from the roof still blocking our steps, and the black bear already came and left. And you talk about KC-135’s. World is small. First flew in one of our KC-135’s in 1965 or so, stopped in Maine for first time at Loring. 494th Bomb Wing (H), SAFB Texas.

What part of Maine are you "sitting in" and still have some snow? I still have a bit in my yard because the forest is so close around, it shades it much of the day. BUT - today, robins digging worms and the PEEPERS came out! Winter's back is finally broken.

'Trying to find a video clip my son took of my son-in-law doing fly-bys in the P-3 at our little local airport one early evening. Great peace of film - I think you'd both enjoy...

The police chief almost had a heart attack, He came screeching up to the airport just as my son-in-law was making his final pass -

The chief jumps out his cruiser, all a fluster: "Doesn't he know he can't land here! The runway's too short! Oh my..."

Without thinking, I just said: "It's okay. It's just Billy."

This threw him into complete confusion.
