The Thunderbirds are the USAF's stunt demonstration team.  They are so cool; the stunts they do (flying upside down, flying in super tight formation, flying so super close to one another) are absolutely insane.  You can't see in the pictures, but each aircraft is painted with the image of a thunderbird on its belly, which looks so cool up in the air.  

The aircraft on top is a North American F-100D Super Sabre used by the Thunderbirds from 1964-1968.  According to Wikipedia, the Thunderbirds used to use these aircraft to create sonic booms with the permission of the air show sponsor; this practice ended when the FAA banned supersonic flight over the continental United States.  As per the NMUSAF website, "The F-100 was the world's first production airplane capable of flying faster than the speed of sound in level flight (760 mph)."

The aircraft underneath is a General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon used by the Thunderbirds from 1982-1992.  The Thunderbirds now use F-16Cs (plus two F-16Ds, which is the same as the C but with two seats instead of one).  

Here's a video of the Thunderbirds performing at an air show in 2022; time stamps of note include 4:30, 6:15, 6:40, 7:46, 8:35, 9:20, 13:50, 17:40, 20:55.  Or you can watch the entire video because the whole thing is super cool :D

If you ever get to see the Thunderbirds (or go to an air show) in person, remember to bring ear plugs.  They are loud.

David Wallace SFW Alphabetical

(how does no one talk abt this pic of michael n david😭😭)

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

David is pretty affectionate. Whenever he can, he brings back your favorite flowers, chocolate, etc. Anything you want, he'll do everything just to get it. On other days, his way of showing affection is through kisses, hugs or leaving you random voicemails for you to listen while he's away.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You started working at corporate or at Scranton, so when David does his annual visits for Michael or Jim or even Dwight, he manages to catch you and say a hello or ask you out to a "friendly" dinner date. If it were at corporate, then it would some constant staring throughout meetings. But not much that you think he's a creep. Once he finds his courage to talk to you, he asks you out.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

David likes cuddles, he isn't as used to them from the being of your relationship but after a while he gets used to it. He prefers it when your in his lap and your head is on his chest. David finds spooning acceptable too, but likes to be the big spoon. You'll really be the big spoon in cuddling when he gets let go by Sabre.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

I think we've all seen that David put marshmallow fluff on bread and drinks warm beer when in his hot tub. Otherwise, he likes to clean more than cook. He's at a medium level with cleaning, he does leave dust behind couches, beds, etc because he never notices it even tho he's wearing glasses...

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

David calls you beforehand while at work or from work he calls you to tell you that yall had to break up because he can't bring the courage of saying it in front of you. But he does say a final "I loved you" before hanging up and maybe even removing your number from his contacts (either way he has it memorized).

F = Fiancée (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

David waits about a year or two (3 perchance:33) to say he wants to marry you. He wants there to be a ring on your finger, so other people know you're taken. He feels it's the best way to show how much he loves you and that he'd rather spend the rest of his life with you.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

He's an EXTREMELY patient man, so he's like 100 percent gentle with whatever it is and if something really bad happens like mentally or physically then he gets a bit on your nerves. Overall he's a gentle man.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

David would probably plead for a hug at home, work, anywhere. He finds it comforting and way back to reality, his hugs are super tight so it'll probably hurt.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

The first time he'll say "I love you" is if he asks you out to dinner, you say yes, it happens and probably say it as David is asking you to be his girlfriend.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Depends on the type of parties, gatherings (i think r the same??) or family reunions, if it's work related and he knows someone likes you or gets too comfortable around you, from far behind he'll see it and walk as fast as possible to tell them to just back off as his face his red from being mad. It'll maybe start an argument. If David sees you with a man (specifically ones he hates or finds creepy), then he'll go crazy but if it's a woman then that's fine.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

David will practically shove his lips onto yours whenever, more once he's CEO. If he had to choose where then possibly your shoulder, down your back and your stomach if he was laying there.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Calm and full on happiness, David is so bright and fun around kids and babies. Although he's quiet and gentle with newborns for an obvious reason.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

He hates having to wake up early, more so to drive like an hour to work and have to deal with some phone calls from Michael or a random or work calls. David will maybe stay in bed with you for an extra five minutes so he can properly wake up.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

He immediately falls asleep from how much he has to deal with being a CFO or CEO (depending on the season).

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Technically on the first date, some smalls bits of himself and his job but doesn't really specify what yet. If you worked at corporate then everything because you see him everyday.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

There's no need to explain the utter patience this man has.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

On the way home from a date, he'll memorize everything you said word by word. Then even write it down and then recite it until the next time you two see each other. If he forgot anything about you, he'd feel like shit to have to ask you again. But when you tell him it's okay and not like you'll just dump him like that, certainly gets rid of David's worries.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Spending Valentine's Day together for the first time, he cherishes every second of it and makes it worth your while. David, being alone half of his life, this brightens up the little emptiness there in his heart.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)

David keeps you close to him no matter where you guys are, even at home where it is supposed to be safest place. He would place his hand anywhere for you to know he's still there. He'll do it during meetings too and doesn't care if someone's watching.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

The disgusting personality (jan).

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

David will put his whole 40 years into the effort of making you anything you wanted. He may be getting old but he's still an active man!!!111

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

None, at least I don't think so???👽

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Not much, I mean if I looked like Andy Buckley i would be so blessed. But a little insecurity on the greying in his hair, he isn't balding yet so🙏🙏

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

David feels lonely and quite literally empty without you next to him or on the phone. So yes he feels too incomplete without you.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

(i don't have 1😭😭🙏)

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

David can move a lot in his sleep, a heavy sleeper who moves his arms and legs. Sometimes at night he'll accidentally hit you with 1 of his limbs without realizing it until you told him. He could fall off the bed and not know, then it was your turn to pick him up and throw him back in.

dude the planes are fucking badass i'm hella jealous you got to go!!! what did you see???

oh dude lemme tell ya,,, we were hyping ourselves up for wings over houston for a whole month. but now you've activated my tism so let's see...

we walked to our seats in the middle of an astounding father-son duo doing aerobatics in 2 extra 330s;

another aerobatics performance in a plane i did not hear/didn't recognize, but it looked similar to the others;

static c-17 globemaster & kc-135;

a static navy p-8 poseidon (the military boeing 737-800);

static mq-1 predator aerial drone;

we caught glimpses of the mig-17 and mig-21 before they were sent home, so we didn't actually get to see them see them (we were distraught over this);

the eurocopter mh-65 dolphin (coast guard);

both a static f-35a & a demo by another f-35a (the a being the air force version) which was awesome! that girl thunders something fierce. we got lucky enough to hear it howl;

several t-6 texans, a boeing super stearman, the t-34 "mentor," the t-28 trojan, the bt-13 valiant (aka the "vibrator"), and several other smaller trainers;

the tora! tora! tora! demo group (t-6s dressed as the famed japanese a6m zero, a p-39 aircobra, a p-40 warhawk with flying tigers livery, and a b-25 in the place of a b-17);

the b-17g "yankee lady," which was a HUGE hit with me. they didn't even need to announce her. the fucking moment i saw her vertical stabilizer taxiing down the runway i whipped around to fucking pog at my friends;

two different b-25 mitchells (the j variant) & the pbj-1j "devil dog" (the marines version of the b-25);

the c-47 skytrain "that's all brother" (who i've seen twice before); this warbird has a fascinating story;

a p-51d mustang (who then did a heritage flight with the f-35a);

the me-262 schwalbe, aka, the first jet fighter ever put into service (germany);

an a-1h (ad-6) skyraider, which was basically one of the last propellor-based aircraft in the navy before the jet age;

the usaf thunderbirds in their f-16 fighting falcons, which were loud, screaming, gleaming, and amazing. i could never do those fucking close formations and passes they do! jesus...;

a static f-100 super sabre, which looks lovingly like a catfish and i love them a lot, the f-4 phantom ii, and an a-4 skyhawk;

some static displays from nasa: the b-57 canberra and t-38 talon

Bro looks like he’s talking on a cellphone. F-100F’s were used for fast FAC missions “call sign Misty”and later for the first Wild Weasel missions without success the HUN wasn’t the right plane for the job.

Description: A personal account of a USAF Forward Air Controller in a remote highland province in South Vietnam in 1969 and how he met "Steve Canyon" and transitioned to the "secret" war in Laos, living with the CIA and the Hmong clans and having near-complete control over the use of US airpower. This account has many illustrations of the grinding stress of intense combat in Laos, and the periodic clashes with the distant headquarters that had little knowledge of an extremely complex combat environment and was more focused on control rather than results.

Review: This book is one of the rare 5 stars for me. There were parts of the book that were absolutely incredible and make this book a must read! While it’s not a perfect book, those parts really showcase how this genre should be written. Instead of just saying “I flew here... I did this” ... he actually walks you through the mission, the steps, where he put his hands, how he got into the aircraft, what he saw, what he thought, what he felt. There is always more to the story than just what someone did... it’s important to make the tale multidimensional and also explain why in a big and small picture way. This author really did that well. At times the book slogs and gets more into the I flew 10 sorties that day, went to the bar, woke up the next day. He also talks a lot about the failures of the whole war and how it was run, which occupied too much space of the book. And yet, even with those criticisms, the book is really excellent! 

You get to see a side of the vietnam war in II corps, as well as the Laotian civil war, and the command and control issues with both, and the success and failure in both. 

Definitely a great read about a forward air controller during that time!
