Okey, Dokey -
Jack Lyon, Maj. USAF Ret.
Command pilot, 4500+ flying hours.
Vietnam Veteran, flew Close Air Support in Vietnam and Cambodia in the 1970-71 timeframe.
Numerous TDYs with the Army as an ALO.
My final tour was as an Advisor to the Air Guard at Willow Grove, PA. I think that was the most professional unit I ever worked with.
Retired in 84, got an MS in Computer Science and then went to work teaching engineering subjects at the University of Arizona for the next 20 years.
