Maybe the president's escorts were low on fuel or sumthin. Which could have been the case because my co-worker and I were run off a tarmac because Air Force One was coming in for some service.
Not all hot shot Zoomies fly fighter jets.  |
I know...I'd really like to fly the Hog....but I'll take whatever I get.
This is why I'm still deciding which branch. AF seems most appealing to me...but if I get offered a slot to fly Apaches in the Army.....I'll do that too.
Now flying a KC135....it ain't glorious...it ain't fast....but it's important and I'd do it.
Somebody has to....and if I get to fly, I'm happy.
