One for the road..

Hello Old Hangar crew!

I thought Antique Airfield would be my last scenery for awhile, but I have another project in the works - that doesn't mean I'll have the time to finish it, but I hope so.

For those that like the challenging, rural, bush sceneries this will be another good one. It's not so much challenging, besides the high altitude, but more of an interesting location as you can probably see from the picture.

I'll release more details when I am a little further along.

This one, however, will probably be my last scenery for sure. Early next year I leave for basic training in the Air Force.

Now, why does that not surprise me? ;D

All the best for the future, Kobbe and have a great Christmas.

Regards,

Thanks Kobbe and good luck in the Airforce!

Excellent Kobe and thank you for serving the US and its citizens. Good luck in the USAF.

Thanks for the best wishes. There really is no glory in what I will be doing, as I will be in the National Guard component and pulling on wires and tapping gauges, but I suppose it's still serving - where there is a need. Of course I still have my sights on a pilot's seat

Here's the latest from the project; moving along slowly but surely.

Looking real good there Kobe. Now Kobe AF pilots sometimes come from the ground-crew and aircrew. I was originally trained SAR PJ, but was fortunate to rise thru the rank and file to current Capt CAF. I left the USCG a O-1 Ens. Im enjoying every minute with the CC-138 and CF-188B. In the USCG it was the Jayhawk and HC-144. National Guard Duty is very honorable and rewarding equal to Regular serve. You have a critical role in Homeland Defense and National/State Security.

Thanks Kobe.

Kobe,

If someone wasn't "pulling on wires and tapping gauges" then nothing would work. All parts of the machine are a place of honor. I am sure you will be great at whatever you do.

True, and I wish to be an example of such. I know the job is still playing a role in the big picture, but in a more indirect way. I'll probably end up volunteering for disaster relief or other emergencies, which I will enjoy, helping out others.

Keith, from what I've been hearing the MC-130s have quite a bit to keep up on, so your statement couldn't be anymore truthful. Wish it was glass cockpit, though, so I could learn how to work on that as well. Then again.. anything defective would probably be dealt with by the manufacturer.

Here's another update on the scenery.. looking kind of cold up there!

Looks like I may have to release this scenery prematurely. Last week I was told that I am leaving February 1st for basic training, nothing like a short notice I actually don't mind the short notice besides the fact that I won't be able to see as much family before I go.

I will be graduating April 1st (aka April Fools day ) and then continuing to Keesler and Sheppard. At that point I will see the outside world again and will be able to stop by TOH to say hi

Here is where I am at in my scenery, which is Bryant (O57) in Bridgeport, California:



Will have to just throw in some default buildings and release it as I am quickly running out of time now.
