You are in a remote area of Ohio

Yup. Remote. Only the 14th largest city in the United States. (That would be Columbus, for those of you in Rio Linda.)

I'm really not in the mood for a pissing contest, but I will say this. My Dad retired as on O-5 (that's a Lieutenant Colonel) in the USAF. He was a Buff Driver (That's a B-52 to you.) Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, you name it. He met my mother at a SAC base (Loring, Fort Fairfield, Maine.)

Don't lecture me, boy.

Pilots in my family also.
Don’t have to tell me about Ohio.
Ancestors there since 1811.

I'm not a very religous man, but God bless your father.
My dad flew a bit before yours did, piloting the B17 and crash landing near Ghent, Belgium in 1944.

728th squadron, 452nd heavy bombardment group

Try as I might, I have never measured up to him.
