Bad ass. I still can't believe the AF got rid of this platform.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - The overwhelming choice was to mothball it or give it to the Army after the Cold War but thankfully there was enough pressure to keep her flying. I think McPeak was the brain child behind trying to get rid of it. Thanks for the business suit and EPRs by the way.
