A) 'Twasn't me... But you're welcome on behalf of the entire staff.

B) Even if I had the best camera with the coolest zoom lens...those planes would zip through my field of vision faster than I could snap a picture! Those kinds of shots take skillz!

C) I always enjoyed living on base...would still do it from time to time except that our family outgrew typical base housing. Maybe someday, he'll be a wing commander and we'll HAVE to live on base...but those houses are usually pretty sweet!

I've seen the Galaxy take off...its like watching an actual miracle take place. No way that thing should be able to get off the ground! And watching B-52's land....that will set you to praying if you don't know any better, because they come down nose-first...very freaky to see!
