It was a lot of fun! He has actually worked on Predators (they're his favorite out of all of the newer planes). I am happy I finally had something to talk with him about. I mean I am 16, he is 21, he is in the Air Force, I like books like Catch-22 and Bukowski, he is a conservative, republican and baptist, I am a liberal, democrat and unitarian universalist, so as you can see, not a lot of topics outside of the weather that is safe for us. I enjoyed talking with him about this and the other, scarier planes he seemed to know all about. and to think, I thought my United States History teacher was joking when he said our Air Force was more than 50 years ahead of any other nation....
