[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4164104, member: 45785"] I picked up a box yesterday to move it, and found a signed Thunderbirds poster dedicated to my former girlfriend, now wife, by the team lead by Major Norm Lowry. They all died in the four-ship accident that forced transition to the F-16. One of the new members of the team was a young guy, Danny, I had "trained." He also witnessed the crash, as he was doing still photography for them. And got out when his hitch was up. He was a fantastic photographer, and a great young man. Training him was just getting him used to doing things the AF Way. And our boss at the base photo lab had been the T-Birds lead photographer for most of a decade.
