HSM-35 (The Magicians) Commissioning

[HeloBubba]

Yep, it's happening and I'll be there !!! Was a "Magician" from 1982-1985.

Do you have details? Like time and location (bldg number)? I am thinking of trying to attend.

Thanks - she does great work.

Is she private, or an employee for FRCSW? Regardless, that is some AWESOME stuff. Only reason I ask the question is that it may affect her availability to do "off line work".

But….I say again…awesome.

R1 - she's private. She works at the Wings and Rotors Museum in CA. Her current project is restoring an F-4 to flying status.

Eh? It is a magicians hat and wand. You know, because they are called 'The Magicians'. Either that or this little guy is the youngest pimp ever......

Of course if his assistant looks like this it might be plausible:

WOW! Is that a real RAG bird or just painted like one? It used to take an act of Congress to get your hands on an F-4.

Not painting related, but I'm guessing this was being delivered for the festivities tomorrow...

Thought this was kind of funny and about right for the program, as a whole. It wasn't even on a DoD flatbed, just a local towing company's truck.
