Oh geesh, I open up the BB this morning and read this.  Nope, not the same guy folks.  My husband was still alive when he left the house a few hours ago.  Originally he had the MJOLLNIR handle when he flew with the Highland Raptors at the Air Force Academy (actually I believe he spells it with one less 'L') but had to shorten it to put the AK in front for flying with the AKs.  If the other Mjollnir has passed away, I'm sorry to hear about that. :(

Oh and they'll do training up to age 30, after that you need a waiver.  Mj will be 24 this month.  I'll post a pic to prove he's still alive when he gets his wings on the 10th.

No need for proof Athena, a mistake was made by someone. I can only imagine how you felt when you read this :(

Honestly, if he had been flying today, I probably would have called him on his cell after reading this thread.  But then I went on to read the other one and realized it was indeed the other Mjollnir.  I'm sorry to hear about that though, Mj and I always used to smile when we saw his name come up with victories on channel 1.

Well I think he is an ex-AHer since getting the new job, but Durr got a B-1 assignment last I heard.

Congrats AKMj AND Athena!  B1's from some squadron or another visit Honolulu once in a while.  Hearing them lift off and pass by off the coast is a great experience!  Especially at night, the roar scares the wife and occasionally sets off car alarms but man, talk about the sound of freedom :).   Thanks for your service and many happy landings to you!

Congrats, Lt.  You make this old retired AF Major proud...and very jealous!  If you fly into the Springs, how about a look in the cockpit?

I am so sorry for the confusion, Athena.  :(  I can imagine it must have really unsettled you.

Hey Sabre... My brother-in-law is a retired Major living in the Springs. In fact his last assignment was at the Academy as part of the staff.

Man, I feel wrung out after reading the entire thread. Very bitter-sweet.
