I share this because the Angel Flight brings our heroes home.  These dedicated men/women gave ALL for what they believed in their hearts was right.  God Speed my heroes.

Please view this in full page mode and be sure to have your speakers turned up.  Also, please watch all the way to the end.  And have your handkerchief handy.

 

When the plane releases its decoy missiles, as is shown in several of the pictures, it creates an Angel shape in the smoke.

But it is much more than just visual.   See for yourself.     
Listen to the words of the pilot and the tower and make sure you sit quietly and listen to the very end.

This is beautiful.

 

During Basic Training at Ft. Lewis, Mar-July, '68, we watched the C-141's come into SeaTac airport. Our DI called them The Body Bag Express. We would stand at attention as they flew by.

Thank you, Fred. Thank you very much.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were no Angel Flights in 2019.

Yes, but as my old CO used to remind us. The enemy is always at the gate, waiting for you to make a mistake.

That, sir, is my hope and in my prayers
