My History
Posted: Sunday, October 10, 2004 9:13 PM (PST)

I joined the Air Force in 1973 as an AGE Tech and my first duty station was Nellis AFB. Talk about lucky, I could watch the Thunderbirds takeoff daily.

Then, they were flying the monster F4's and I watched as they transitioned into the T38's.

In October 76, I got my chance to become a team member. I replaced the awesome activities director, Scotty Krantz. In May 1979, I left the team and the Air Force.

 

My hope, with this web site, is to provide an area were we all can discuss, renew friendships, and remember our time on the team.

 

Thanks

Larry Burlingame
