Superbowl Bound....Military Review!

in #steem7 years ago

I'm called upon by the military the review courses for the service men and women to help award college credit for the training they've taken while in the military. This helps them take the college credit I recommend and attend school while they're still in the military, or after the military to improve their skills, thus improve their chances of upward mobility and get a job when they leave the military.

While at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV, I got to sit in a Russian Mig23 that was classified until about 15 years ago:

While that was quite exciting, and I've been to many military bases and have seen alot of cool things that most people don't get to see, I was able to take a quick tour of the Thunderbird Museum, which are the US Air Force squadron of F16 fighter pilots....WOW Such Power...kinda like SteemPower.

It was amazing to get that close to these amazing forces of power, and not be at an airshow, much less a dormant plane...these were the real deals, no joke Thunderbirds. We hear that these are getting ready and are Superbowl bound.

As if things couldn't get any cooler, I saw the Air Force most recent fighter jet, F35 which has tremendous stealth capabilities along with fighting power....definitely something you don't see everyday.

I have several more of these trips planned throughout the year, but by far, this was one of the coolest trips/reviews I've attended as the men and women who service these planes, plus many others, go through alot of training, schooling, and rigor to make the world that much safer!

Until the next trip!
