It is hard to believe I graduated 50 years ago and then stayed in the 50th as an IP. We just had an IP reunion there last month. It was great catching up with the guys.

Webb AFB (90 miles from anywhere) class of 70-05 grad. here. The white rocket was the most thrilling aircraft I have flown. Loved those two and four-ship formation flights, with burner climbs and one instructor. Great fun. Always glad to see a black T-38, in the traffic pattern at Mather Airport, near Sacramento. Fastest things in the Mather traffic pattern, except during airshows. They are stationed at Beal AFB. Sad to hear T-38s are being replaced. Thanks for the memories!

Earned my wings at Webb AFB class 70-02. First of the T-38 IPs at Columbus AFB January 1970. Loved strappng on my go-fast pants and flying formation. Best people I knew were fellow IPs; every one was a class act.

As a 3000 hr T-38 instructor at Laughlin (Del Rio by the Sea) TX, it was THE best job of my life. Now a retired B787 captain with over 38,000 hours and still flying corporate jets I'll never equal that experience in the T-38

One of the reasons i wanted to join back in 79.. Yall flew a lowlevel route behind our house. I miss hearing and seeing the birds. Be safe and fly on the wings of eagles.

Looks great! Wonderful dedication. So, sorry for your loss. The ground shots of the area were familiar. Columbus was my Dad's last duty station. Dad, Maj. Gaylon O. Smith, helped open up the base for flight training operations in the 3650th PTW in 1970 and retired in 1972. You may have cleared out the plaques of those first few classes in the renovation, but Dad would not have minded. He knew that life moves on and would have wished you all well. (He passed Nov. 26th, 2022.) I still have some student class books and patches that students gave Dad. I called the base there a few years back, trying to find a high-resolution copy of a pair of white Columbus Talons in banking in formation against a deep blue sky with a few puffy white clouds behind them. They were never able to find it. (Low-res copies are all over the Internet.) Dad wanted bookend photos of his career. He started in a Aeronca Champ in CAP and ended with a T-38 Talon with CB on the tail in ATC. With plenty of aircraft in between, including the F4C Phantom and the F-100 Super Saber in Vietnam. Blue skies, all.

Great video, brought back memories, Willy's Class 92-08. Are you training in the new T-7?

These days I'm lucky enough to be flying an F-16, but the T-7 looks like an awesome trainer once they get them up and running!

Is the 310th transitioning to the F-35 or is it getting deactivated? Additionally, will the 309th keep putting out viper pilots or are they ridding Luke of all active-duty F-16 B-Course training?

I remember when I lived in Phoenix for a short while and I would drive down to Luke on my days off to watch the F-16s and F-35s takeoff just dreaming that I had the capability to be in the skies alongside them. My asthma diagnosis is what kept me from achieving that alongside the worst case of ADHD. Life is not fair man... Great video though!
