VN 13-04 T-38s: F-16x2 F-15E T-6 FAIP C-130J MC-12 Don't remember the complete T-1 drop but there were a couple C-17s, a couple KC-135s, a couple C-130s, a Do-328, literally a married couple both going to KC-10s and a few others I can't remember.

I was at Wright-Patt earlier this week and managed to catch the formation of old bombers forming up and doing their flyby. There's nothing like seeing 20 B-25s thundering overhead to make you stand a little taller in your flight suit.

On my last trip to the Deid there was an instance where both the primary and DNIF-cover AC showed calling crew rest issues. There had been a concert at the bra (right in the middle of the 24-hour quiet hours CC) that night and show at the SQ was around 1am so neither crew got any sleep. The DO flipped his shit when he was called about the situation and pressured the crew into launching with both ACs on the jet. The idea was that one AC would take-off while the other got "crew rested" in the aux seat and then they'd swap out, basically turning two not crew rested ACs into one crew rested AC by some sort of PFM. This was all after the same DO refused to give us Ambien for anything other than major schedule changes, nevermind the fact that our sleep schedule was interrupted every 3 days by the 12+ hour sorties we were flying. Just the tip of the iceberg with this community...

You can count me in, possibly depending on the restrictions on the engraving on the case. I'd prefer to just have my name on there, so if that's a go then I'd be in.
