FIGHTER PILOTS HEAVEN ACE" status is conferred upon all Aviators entering Heaven. Everybody's a lieutenant, except God... He is a General! You only come to work when you are going to fly. You fly three times a day, if you wish, except on Friday. You never run out of gas. You never run out of ammo. Your missions are one hour long (or longer if you desire) and no briefings are ever required. Sorties are air-to-air or air-to-ground, your choice. You shoot the gun on every mission... There are no check rides. It is always VFR, and there are never any ATC delays. You can fly out of the MOA and down to 10 feet AGL... if you want. There are no "over G's." Never any Fatals... I mean... you are already there! There is never any TOP-3 or SOF duty.. You always fly overhead landing patterns with initial approach at 20 feet, then break left. You can go cross-country anytime you desire... the further the better... There are no ORI /UEIs. There are no additional duties. Friday Happy Hour is mandatory. There are no flight surgeons. There are no Staff Jobs. "Happy Hour" begins at 1400 hours and lasts until 0200+ hours. The bartenders are all big bosomed friendly blondes. Beer is free, but whiskey costs a nickel. The bar serves only Chevas Regal, Jack Daniels and Beefeaters... plus 500 kinds of beer. The Girls are all friendly and each Aviator is allowed three... There are no fat women, and the thin ones look like Sophia Loren. Country and Western music is free on the jukebox. You never lose your room key and your buddies never leave you stranded. The sun always shines, and you can put your hat in your pants pocket. Flight Suits are allowed in the Officers Club at all times. The BX always has every item you ask for, most being free. There are never any crosswind landings, and the runways are always dry.. Control Tower flybys for wheels-up checks can be made at 600 kts. There are never any noise complaints. Full afterburner climbs over your house are encouraged. ERs always contain the statement, "Outstanding Officer." Functions requiring mess dress attire never occur. All air traffic controllers are friendly and always provide priority handling... The airplanes never break. "ACE" status is conferred upon all Aviators entering Heaven... And You Never Have To Grow Up! “To fly west, my friend is a flight we must all take for our final check.” Author unknown Pilots Creed: “In God we trust, all else we check.” R.I.P. MAJ SHUL MSgt KEVEN L. BARNES (ret )

Kelly Johnson’s parents are buried here in flint Michigan… the city Kelly grew up in.. pure respect. I informed the cemetery of the very important people there.. the manager was so shocked and knew of this plane.. he is so proud

[@SEBBARU]

I guess they had to cut Judy Garland's Somewhere Over The Rainbow to avoid the strike. But I'm glad I got the notification to rewatch these great stories.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

One of those planes is at the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo MI.
