IMG_6147.jpgFound my Freedom Bird!I arranged the visit with the public affairs officer at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. The plane is used for dog training at Lackland, and has the wings and tail removed. The Air Force could not have been more hospitable towards us. It was really cool to be back aboard again.

Incidentally, I read the entire book Fail Safe out loud to the guy next me
on the way home. I don't know why!
