The trip we had planned earlier for Alan’s last F-16 flight and retirement is rescheduled for Wednesday. We are on the plane headed to Arizona now…bitter sweet because he will miss it but after more than 3000 hours it’s beat his neck and shoulders up pretty bad…

Didn't you say he was going to be a commercial pilot?

Any skin cancer yet?
My former pilot, ex-Air Force, has had over 40 basal cells removed. Plus a couple of squamous cells.
He flew Eagles and then C-12 Hurons for the State Department.

F16 pilots are pretty covered up in the cockpit. I would think skin cancer wouldn't be too much of a problem.
