This is what I love about being a pilot, the beautiful views I get while flying along the river and being able to watch the sunset reflecting off the cliffs and the water.
Those are some cool bomber jackets, I have a shoulder band for the Civil Defense of New Jersey as well as a patch I got from my uncle that says "Operation Iraqi Freedom". At my grandmother's house I found some WWI medals which had the State of New Jersey victory medal in a bad as well as some silk.

Our WWII TBM Avenger torpedo bomber flying over while our Jeep fires blanks at the “bogey” from a .50 caliber. The “blanks” are a mixture of oxygen and propane being burned in rapid, short bursts to replicate how it would fire if active.
Today on Random Ass Texts from my Mom, there’s this...
