That sounds like quite a career he has had! Its always heartbreaking when an AF wing loses its planes. The 181st had a long flying history. I have heard others like your dad say the same thing; it was like a second family.
I hope they can keep both units open.
The guard has been good to him.... Before they lost their jets his jet was the one that was involved in the mid air collision that killed one of their best pilots... It was his favorite jet that he ever worked on before or since.... Still bothers him I think....
