Just watched the BLunder... - RockyRaab2 - 06-29-2024
I mean, THunderbirds at the Hill AFB air show. Don't know how many tens of thousands of people watched them in 93-degree heat, but they flew their usual superlative show.
Have I ever told you that I was in line to be the T'Bird announcer, flying the F-16 from show to show? And that I turned the job down? Yup. That was back in '76 and I voluntarily took a desk job instead. Of course, that desk job led me eventually to NASA, where I did launch countdowns commentaries.
Turned out well, I think. When I considered that my family with two teenage daughters would be in Las Vegas and I'd be gone for 300 days a year, it was a difficult but rational decision to say "Nope." Never regretted it. (Well, I DO regret the not flying the F-16 part...)

We need to hook up for some fishing. What say you?
