Scary for sure. We lost an AWAC and 24 Airmen from Elmendorf in Sept 95 due to a flock of geese. Elmendorf is right here in Anchorage. The whole city saw the black smoke.
I’m sure many on the plane have been here since then.

Thank you!
It has been an almost perfect day (the A/C died in the Jeep this morning ~ ick!). I have received birthday wishes from all my friends and family. I got am email from a friend who has been incognito for a few months, and even heard from my FIL who I have not spoken to is a few years. And BONUS - my BD meal was hot dogs & chili cheese fries from James Coney Island (which Allegra & I have deemed health food).

Hot dogs & chili cheese fries are health food especially when washed down with Milwaukee Holy Water. 8^)
