We've started cutting holes in the panel for the SkyView and radio stack. Planning and layout has probably been one of the most difficult parts of the build.
Waiting on the engine, nearly ready for paint...moving right along!
I looked up and found your son in our system. His TF is involved in some cool stuff. We mentor the Afghans that are assigned to his unit. The Afghan CORPS that is in his AO is who I am partnered with. I might have to send him an e-mail on our systems. I will be home around mid May.
Thank you for the kind words and for YOUR service! I was on Active Duty during Desert Shield but down at Benning. I first enlisted in 1982 and eventually went to OCS.
My son was with the 82nd and did 2 combat tours during the surge in Iraq. Although I am assigned to the 82nd, I was attached a few months ago to the 101st, first at Blackhorse and then Gamberi. I hope your son is doing well. The 101st is almost done here as you know, hence my desire to build my plane!
