Happy 70th, Air Force
According to Wiki, the US Air Force was born from the US Army Air Corps on September 18, 1947. The other day, the President visited Andrews Air Force Base to celebrate the anniversary;
President Trump expressed his pride in the men and women of the United States Air Force. “Our air superiority is unquestionable not because we have the best equipment, but because we have the best people by far.”
“Each of you is a living, breathing symbol of our great Nation,” the President declared. “Nothing inspires more confidence in our friends or incites more fear in our enemies,” he said as he went on to assure them that together they will shape tomorrow’s world with the “strength and skill of American hands.”
President Trump concluded his speech by thanking the men and women of the United States Air Force for their dedication to their country and wished the United States Air Force a happy 70th birthday.
My only begotten son is currently serving in the US Air Force and today he’s training up for a deployment to the war against terror later this year.

Happy Birthday, Air Force!
Semper Fidelis.
I work for the Air Force as an EVIL CONTRACTOR!!!! Being a Jarhead, it can be fun. But I like the Zoomies that I work with. Happy 70th.
Jack the correct term is slimeball contractor. I’ve been doing it for the last 13 years after I retired.
I know two verses of the Marine Hymn but don’t know the words to the Air Force Song.
I, too, are a eebil contractor! Happy birthday USAF! My pa, LtCol D, was career USAF but never forgot his Army Air Corps roots!
Happy Birthday USAF.
Never forget your roots are with the Army Signal Corps.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday U.S.A.F.
I see the US Army Signal Corps is doing well…
We seem to be well represented here on TAH.
Why yes, yes we are! Shooting comms all over the damn place!
I cannot resist this movie: Strategic Air Command. Rock Hudson. 15-second interval takeoffs.
Happy birthday, Zoomies!!
Sorry, my bad. That movie is ‘Gathering of Eagles’.
‘SAC’ is the movie with Jimmy Stewart.
That scene is pure porn to B-52 crews.
There is just something about flying like a bat out of hell that gets to me.
(The stuntman doing the freefall jump was a Green Beret named Joseph Svec. His chute failed to open and he impacted on the ground.)
damn officers! NO COVERS ON THE RUNWAY!!!
Cool scene, but didn’t Rock Hudson die of food poisoning? I heard it was from his eating a raw weenie!
Happy Birthday Air Force!
Happy 70th to my Air Force! Good luck to your son, Jonn. Some days I miss it, even with the B.S. that went with being Security Forces
not to be the drunk uncle at the birthday party , but here is a really thought provoking article that sort of makes me say Hmmmmm

And happy 70th birthday to you fly-fly boys and girls
i will always bitch about your hotel room barracks,
I will always eat as much as i can, as many times as i can at your mess facilities until you ban the Marines from eating there for 3 months
and while so far it has been only once that i have pee on your electrified fences that are guarding some long black plane that only takes off at night after drinking to many pitchers of beer at your fine Italian restaurant next to the runway and coming to hearing the MPs say “we got another Marine sir, the drivers not drunk, i don’t feel like doing the paper work again” over the radio, for you i would do it again.
But when i am getting the crap mortared out of me and the rockets don’t stop landing on FOB Echo, there has never been a better sound in all my life then a fast mover on after burner after its already passed overhead to bomb the crap out of the bastards that were shooting at us. looking forward to seeing the next 70 years and what you will do next!
Happy B-day to the USAF!
Happy Birthday USAF!
AIN’T I a DICKWEED?
