We are currently at the Fam Camp at Davis-Monthan AFB, which is the home to the 563rd Rescue Group that directs flying operations for the Air Force's only active duty-rescue wing dedicated to Combat Search and Rescue. It is responsible for training, readiness and maintenance of one HC-130 squadron and two HH-60 squadrons. There is a park on base with many different aircraft displayed. Above is the U2, once used as a high altitude spy plane and in the 60's was piloted by Francis Gary Powers and was show down over Soviet air space which caused an international incident. The next phot is of a B-52, which is similar to those that were at Pease, that's primary mission was a high altitude bomber used during Vietnam and to the present day in the Iraq war.
We also met up with my cousin Bob and wife, who live in Tucson. Last Friday we served lunch at the RV and had a nice visit. While staying in Tucson, we had our mail delivered to Bob's house. My sister sent me the Guilmette family "Christmas Crow", which you see Bob and Arnelle graciously posed with. 
The "Christmas Crow" is being passed around the family and it's my turn with him. While he is in our posession, we plan to take him places, take pictures and keep his journal up-to-date as to what he's been doing and places that he's been. We are to keep him in a place of prominence, so he's on the dash of the RV. There's also a storybook that accompanies him called "Merry Christmas, Merry Crow". We're to have her for 6 months and then we're to pass her next to Donna - no. 3 in the Guilmette lineup.
