Link here. Obviously just a portion of the very long article. I remember the interview very, very well. I was out in San Pedro, CA, visiting. I had just retired from the USAF a few months earlier, July 1, 2007.
Needless to say, my family and I have been using Apple iPhones exclusively for at least ten years now.

Reminiscing
I was stationed at Bitburg Air Base, Germany, 1983 - 1986, and then again, 1989 - 1992. Both times, my primary a/c was the F-15. In the video below, at the 4:37 mark Greg Clausen enters the picture. I flew with him many, many times. I vividly recall the three-hour night refueling sortie when we flew to an altitude of nearly 50,000 feet. Incredibly eerie.
Between those two tours at Bitburg Air Base, we were stationed at RAF Lakenheath, England, 1989 - 1992, where my primary a/c was the F-111D. Coincidentally the video linked here was filmed in 1992.
The video linked here was filmed in 1990 while we were stationed RAF Lakenheath. The plane involved was assigned to the 492nd Fighter Squadron. That was the squadron to which I was assigned at the time. Link here also.
Federal troops can be deployed to Portland.
Get out the popcorn.
Game on!

Things that bother me today.

Two: Amazon Is Still Down
And it's not being discussed. Not mentioned at all on CNBC today except in passing, "as a non-problem.
Not being discussed at all.
Started at 3:00 a.m. today. At noon, still down.
Amazon: such a huge part of the US economy and no one is talking about it being down?
