Hey everyone! I'm Mike in North Carolina. First post, no idea how this works.
Green Day played an invitation only concert in SF yesterday (lots of video online) and if in any way it was a warmup for their #SuperBowl performance this afternoon, I'm all here for it.

One day I'll get back up to #Ottawa to skate on the #RideauCanal.

The #snow finally came! Last Saturday night at midnight here in #NorthCarolina. 18F/-8C, windchill 5F/-15C. Couldn't feel my toes, but worth it. Feels like home.
Phone in my hand because I was using it to trip the shutter - nobody else would come outside.

Before a #storm, #WashingtonDC pretreats their roads with a hot mix of #brine and #beetjuice.
I think that "Hot Mix of Brine and Beet Juice" will either be the title of my #autobiography, or an exciting new #cocktail that I shall invent.

On this date in 1979, the very first operational F-16, 78-0001, was delivered to the 388th TFW at Hill AFB.
I got this shot of 001 on arrival at the 1988 London International Airshow while on leave from MacDill.

I like collecting old (cheap) things, they're like holding history in my hand.

I mean, who *hasn't* ridden a moose through the snow while holding a beaver drinking coffee (or maybe hot chocolate)?

I like to clean my desk before I go on vacation (not going to lie, it's pretty much the only time I do....) So you know what this means, it's Friday and 3:30, and I'm on vacation until December 1st! First full week off this year (but not the last.)

Remembrance Day is a Canadian holiday, but I think every day is a good day to remember those we lost.
The soldier that lies here could be American, he could be Canadian, British, French or First Nation - all fought where he lies. Who he was is less important than the fact that we honor him today.

Here's my Veterans Day profile photo, right around Christmastime of 1990, in Doha Qatar and only a few weeks before the start of the Gulf War.
I'm sitting on the wing of F-16C 87-0228. Sadly, 228 only had a few weeks left as well - shot down by an Iraqi SAM over Baghdad on 19 Jan 1991.

36 years ago tonight, the world changed. As an American then serving in Europe, I'll never forget that night.
Sometimes it seems like yesterday I walked into the pub near Madrid on a November evening in 1989 and asked, "What's that going on on TV?"
Everyone just pointed and said, "Berlin".

Unfortunately, again this year I won't be able to get up to Ottawa for Remembrance Day next Tuesday. I really need to one of these years, it's been far too long since my Dad and I used to go up for the ceremony. 🍁

Each year for our Veterans Day commemoration at work I bring in some "stuff" for my desk. While I'm a Veteran, I lean more towards the Remembrance Day end of the holiday even though it's no longer "official" here in the US. What I did is insignificant compared to the sacrifice of those we lost.

Sadly, it appears that after nearly 20 years, we're losing our local team. Next season would have been the anniversary. @northcarolinafc.bsky.social

Before I joined the USAF, I'd spent more time on Canadian bases than American. Here's a patch from CFB Trenton from the early 1980's. Should be a CC-130 Hercules, a CC-137 the "Big Boeing", a CH-135 Twin Huey and a CC-115 Buffalo. I was pretty much destined to be a maintainer.

85 years ago today the Battle of Britain was won and Germany was on it's way to defeat in the Second World War. Once Britain was secured from invasion, Germany couldn't win, and the Allies wouldn't lose - it was all just a matter of time.
And that happened a full year before the US entered the war.
