FReeper Canteen ~ Road Trip: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina

Good evening, Kathy! Good evening, all!

I cannot think about that air base without thinking of the Tom Clancy book, Every Man a Tiger, a biography of General Chuck Horner (CENTAF during Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield).

I had the book on tape in the car while commuting from Brooklyn to Parsippany and back.
I listened as he told stories of those cocky young pilots.
I listened as he described the heady days in the service.
But when he said that they once again had to go back to see more johnson ... well, I nearly crashed the car off the side of the road!

And on that happy note, I'll tip hat and run off into the night.
