we did some machining on wing flap actuators for them in my past aerospace life. had my clearance to go onto flight line at nellis and holloman a.f.b..

WHAT A GAS !

was able to go right up to the YELLOW LINE OF DOOM AND DEATH that K-9 HANDLER GUARDED! tech sgt. briefed us if we stepped across that line either the big mean nasty ugly K-9 was going to eat us alive or the guard was going to shoot our ass w/either a M-9 or his M-16! no screwing around!

used to go to end of holloman a.f.b. runway and watch sorties take off.

one of the coolest projects i was ever on.

sounds cliche but it made me proud to be an american.

plus the fact i didnt want to be the bad guys and have that damn thing chasing me down!
