When I was four years old, I lived right off the end of the runway at Carswell AFB where they were based; when they took-off, the earth shook.

It was glorious.

My late brother was stationed there right before he had to get out of the USAF. He flew through mushroom clouds during bomb testing. He and his group all suffered from radiation poisoning. He was the last one to die. He loved flying. He joined when he was 15 and was on Greenland on his 16th birthday. A little story. He had a runway on his farm. He was taking off one day, something happened and he ended upside down in a tree at the end of the runway. He was truly one of a kind. He was my hero.
