Memorial Day – U.S. Armed Forces Medley – Tribute Videos


Memorial Day…is a time for thanks and remembrance.


A day to honor America’s bravest sons and daughters who answered the call to defend their nation and, in doing so, made the greatest sacrifice of all.


And in these days of unrest filled with grave uncertainty, let’s not forget the price they paid to keep our country free.



Grant them, O Lord, Eternal peace.


Thank You & God Bless all the members of our military, their family’s and the U.S.A!

May is National Military Appreciation Month!

What are some things you do to show your support and thanks to veterans and the members of our military?

I support Soldiers’ Angels. This wonderful non-profit organization has really GREAT programs for all our troops.

But they can’t do it without our support and help. Check out the Soldiers’ Angels website, join the cause and see how you can lend a hand.

Just Flying Along

There I was, just flying along, enjoying the flight at 20,000 ft., minding my own business.

F15 Jet

And what’s so cool is they actually pay me to do this!

F15

When……Hmmm… What’s that strange sound? Something feels different!

F15 jet

Hey, why am I looking up?

F15

Whoa there. What the hell?? Controls aren’t working.

F15

Time for a mirror check… Hey, where’s the rest of my F-15?

F15

Uh oh, it’s over there… I think I’ve got a definite’……………….

F15
Aw, sh*t’ What the hell is going on here.

F15

I gotta wonder, am I the first guy to ever experience a ‘cockpit-airframe separation anxiety attack‘??

OK, enough is enough!… I’m outta’ here! But first, the canopy has to go.

F15

Phew…………. At least that’s now out of the way……

F15

OK, now it’s my turn. I’m gonna be gone as soon as I find that frickin’ lower handle.

F15

Got it…… I’m gone !!!!!!


This ‘incident’ caused the USAF to ground its fleet of F-15’s.

How about the guy who took these pictures?

 Just when it looks like it’s going to be just another ‘average day at the office’..!

What caused the mid-air break up?

The main “longeron” (stringer) behind the cockpit failed due to corrosion.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time (the photographer)…or the wrong place at the wrong time (the pilot)…..
