87th Tail
In my 26 USAF years as an aircraft mechanic I can say my best memories are working the "Six", one of the most magnificent aircraft ever built, which endured the test of time and men, and luckily for a few on display, survived drone target practice.  Sixer's were the best people I've ever met and I treasure my memories with both this magnificent aircraft and the friends I made along the way.  Patrick J. McGee, SMSgt (Ret)
