That guy may have been me. I was pretty bummed, but quickly learned about its awesomeness (avionics-wise, anyway).
- gedy 2y agoHa, at Lowry in 1993?
- runjake 2y agoYep, up until January 1993 or so. "SRAM Howell" ring a bell?
- gedy 2y agoAh I got there 1/93 so may have missed. I remember going to "fundies", getting called "pinger", etc. Good times.
- runjake 2y agoNobody can understand our fear of washing out and moving to the other side of the dorm to become a food handler and serving your former avionics classmates breakfast. This happened a lot while I was there.
- gedy 2y agoLol, I forgot all about that - though there were some cute chicks over there. I remember chatting with one about her upcoming French Toast test :-)
- chiph 2y agoYou may find this amusing then. I was at Travis for a day (from McClellan) and I had time to stop by their museum. They had a G model on display and there was an older gentleman with a child looking at it. "What kind of plane is this, grandpa?" "I'm not sure - I think it's a cargo plane" I had a really tough time resisting the urge to tell them the "cargo" came out the bottom.
