A bit off topic: airplane but not CL related. It does have Thanksgiving and Service Member ties...hope you enjoy getting to know these young Americans as much as we did. Thanks for letting us share our thanksgiving Day blessings with our control line friends.
Today June, the boys and I had the distinct privilege of hosting six young airmen from Sheppard AFB in our home for Thanksgiving. These young men and women are two weeks out of Basic training and are attending Tech School here at Sheppard. Most were having their first holiday away from home and one young man, Austin was away from his wife and 7 month old son.
It was great to spend the day with them as they had a chance to get off the base, leave the uniforms behind and enjoy a relaxing day. We tried to make them feel as much at home as possible. Rule number 1: no sir or ma'am. Rule 2: Make themselves at home, help themselves to everything, and feel free to put their feet on the furniture. Rule 3: no left overs! (they did not do so good on this one).
It was a great day of food, touch football , TV football and pumpkin bombing. None of them had ever flown in a small aircraft, and each got to go up in the Cub. They got two passes to drop pumpkins on the round hay bail and then we flew over the base to see their school houses and dorms. They got some stick time as we came back to the house.

Yes, it was windy! 20-25 knots out of the south. We were dropping on a round hay bale and running straight into the wind would have taken us over the house and hangar. Our run in on about a 120 heading gave us a big right cross wind and the big left slip was needed to see the target out the right side of the Cub.
Nick Ramirez was the top bomber with a 38 foot pumpkin. He got to eat first!
A great time was had by all. I do love giving folks their first airplane rides!

Looks like a good time!
My Airline employer forced me to work today (Fri.), hence no travel.
I revolted yesterday and had a steak and potato dinner. ''

Bruce & June,
You guys are the best! Thanks for hosting these wonderful Americans! Wish we could have been there to help.

It is so great that you are able to make a few of our heroes feel at home while away from home. Lifetime memories for those young adults. Thank you for what you and your family do. Also thanks for the great pictures.
