~The FReeper Canteen Presents~ Road Trip: Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida Tyndall Air Force Base is a United States Air Force Base located 12 miles east of Panama City, Florida. The base was named in honor of World War I pilot 1st Lt Frank Benjamin Tyndall. The base operating unit and host wing is the 325th Fighter Wing (325 FW) of the Air Combat Command (ACC). The base is delineated as a census-designated place and had a resident population of 2,994 at the 2010 census. The 325th Fighter Wingâs primary mission is to provide a combat ready air dominance force, train F-22A Raptor pilots and maintenance personnel, and train air battle managers to support the combat Air Force. Tyndall's combat mission is performed by the 95th Fighter Squadron. Training for F-22 pilots is performed in the 43d Fighter Squadron and the 2d Fighter Training Squadron. The 325th Air Control Squadron trains air battle managers for assignment to combat Air Force units. Headquarters, First Air Force at Tyndall is part of the Air Combat Command (ACC), ensuring the air sovereignty and air defense of the continental United States. As the CONUS geographical component of the bi-national North American Aerospace Defense Command and air component of United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), 1 AF also provides airspace surveillance and control and directs all air sovereignty activities for the continental United States. The 21st century proved to be momentous for Tyndall AFB. The base was selected as the first home of the Air Force's newest aircraft, the F-22 Raptor. 2002 brought more change as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force changed the organizational structure of the 325th Fighter Wing, from an objective type wing to a combat organization. This organization moved all maintenance activities under the 325th Maintenance Group and all support activities under the 325th Mission Support Group. Learn More About Tyndall Air Force Base HERE!!

Mrs. MacNessa and I are both happy that our daughter has found this young man. We have come to know him over the last year or more and know him to be a fine young man with a strong moral compass. And of course, a strong conservative. His family are good people - his Dad and Uncle both Marines.

Yes it was impressive for a 5 year old.
I used to take Mother’s clothes pins and clamp a tiny piece of straw in the front and pretend it was a machine gun. I would line them up and take off and have dog fights etc. with my pretend jet fighters.
they used to hold an air to air gunnery competition called “William Tell” at Tyndall. I think every two years. A Canadian Air Force base won one of the first, but overall, Eglin pretty much dominated it. I think Holloman broke Eglin’s streak once.
I don’t guess they hold it any more but am not certain.
I know they have three squadrons of F-22s there which is probably the most of anywhere.

Good evening, Army Bro! We have to wait for the photographer's pics. He took a bushel - very fast, very professional. What I've posted up 'til now have been taken by family. We had no time to take pics ourselves.

Or that you’d beat me to the punch. :-)

He knows how to handle a firearm as well - a necessary skill in the milieu in which we find ourselves.
