Going In For Guns

Please allow me to take a moment to brag some more about my wonderful husband.

Recently, in his training, he was allowed to shoot the gun on the F-15! Shooting the gun is a big deal because you don't often get the chance - the Air Force has to have enough money, you have to have a need to shoot it, etc. So, anyway, Rob and a few of his classmates shot at a banner being pulled behind another plane to practice their gunning skills. Afterwards, someone collects the banner and brings it for everyone to see how it went.

Well, the guy who collects the banners said this was the most holes he'd ever seen in the banner - his remembered record was 36. Of course, they had to count them after that! WOW!! There were 400-something holes in this banner!! Holy cow! Plus, Rob actually shot OFF the bar that attaches the banner! As you can imagine, I'm very proud of my awesome husband.

Wow how bad do you have to suck in ground school to be assigned to fly the airplane that tows the banner? Yikes!
