Today Natalie and I, along with Will Strohl and Kim Rausch (and kids), went to the Travis AFB Air Show, the weather was great, if a little windy. As we were walking around after the Thunderbirds show, taking photos and getting ready to leave I came across this spot on the tarmac

B-1 Bomber/Retirement Location

As we walked by that painted pavement I realized I had been there before.

That was where my dad retired after 30 years in the United States Air Force.

The latter two photos were taken with my first digital camera in March of 1998.

I’m a proud son!
