Thanks for the nice intro Boydd. Glad to have you with us now. Were you ever stationed with the 380th in Plattsburgh while flying with the B-47?
It was quite a large base at one time and it's history dates back to the Revolutionary War time. It is a few miles from home for me.


For anybody interested here is a site with a bit of history. Takes a while to read.
