RE: Lightning Build
John Redman (one of my coworkers, ex -16 and -117 crew chief) loves the airplane. He and another coworker, and ex -16 crew chief John Diniz both have gone for a ride in one. It certainly is an awesome airplane, and you have an awesome, albeit stressful I'm sure, job. As Ed said, thank you for your service!
I hope you are relocated somwhere warm.
