RAF Fairford UK. I was lucky enough to snap a photo of one of the B-52s I loaded as it taxied out for a mission.

RAF Fairford UK. War over and we were dearming the .50 cal guns on the B-52s.

Back home doing practice weapons loading on the B-52. Putting up bomb bay doors prior to loading.

Here's a photo of me flying in the Navy Seabee reserves. I think this thing could do Mach 1 if it were dropped from about 100,000ft, for at least some of the upper atmosphere. Otherwise, I had to settle for about 4 to 8 mph.

I think Bill seems the happiest of us in these photos.

Bill -- In your boot camp picture you look like Damien Lewis, the actor who played Richard Winters in Band Of Brothers.
