2025 Another trip around the sun!

The Thunder and Lightning over Arizona Air Show
This air show is near and dear to my heart. I watched it from my home while growing up. I attended when I was an A-10A Crew-Chief in the 80s and as a Flying Crew-Chief on the C-9A in the 2000s. I even attended as a VIP in 2014 when my staff and I, from...
