I am honored to make your acquaintance (even if virtually), and I deeply admire all you have done for United States. You have actually contributed considerably with your recent SR-71 Blackbird entry, and it is being re-added to the page. I was just initially cautious when moving the entry to the Talk page since the entry was added from an anonymous account, and I also wanted to ensure it meshed well with the previously written material. I'm glad you have an named account now, and I fully encourage more participation. (For the future, you can type four tildes in a row to automatically add a linked signature in the Talk discussion sections.) Welcome to Wikipedia! Egan Loo 20:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

David, you may have crossed paths with my dad at some point in your career. We were stationed at Beale AFB and my dad had TDY orders to Kadina AFB frequently. Anyway, I appreciate the dedication to our country and sharing the knowledge that you can!MikeAFBrat 13:41, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
