Good job. I was with the 86FTS in the T-38 10 years after your solo. Laughlin has changed quite a bit, the old 85th & 86th flight line buildings, the two-story 47th STURON buildings are all gone. Visited the base after 35 years in March 2023.
Brings back memories. I was in Class 79-03 in "C" flight (the Tweety Birds). Came back later as a T-37 IP and Class Commander. Did it, and saw it - probably hundreds of times. My class size was only 20, but when I was a Class Commander I think I had 74 or 76 students!
