The 2nd Fighter Squadron here at Tyndall closed last Friday - April 2nd. While we were here once before while Chuck learned to fly the F-15C, we were not in the 2nd FS while we were here before! But I think we feel a strong connection with the 2nd because we were in the F-15 before the F-22. In honor of the closing of the 2nd, they flew a huge mission - 20 jets flying at once. I didn't end up going over the the runway to watch the launch, but I was able to take some pictures of some of the jets coming back right over our house as they were getting ready to land for the last time here. It was a sad day overall, not only because it was the end of the F-15 era, but because we have a lot of friends in the 2nd who will now be leaving us. Oh such is the military life!
