“But the Air Force was sort of a bastard child of the Army, much like the Marines with the Navy. Everything had to be done over by the Army after it had already been done by the Air Corps, a mess.”

“In those days secrets were well kept.”

“Sure, you would lose more bombers without fighters, but, flying in formation, you could get the job done.”

“I flew on Air Force Two for eight years, and now I have to take off my shoes to get on an aeroplane.”

“A decade and a half ago, the U.S. Air Force dropped massive 15,000-pound 'Daisy Cutter' bombs on the Tora Bora complex where Osama bin Laden was hiding in December 2001.”

“My dad was in the military, yeah. He was in the Air Force, and he was a doctor, so he would go places for six months here, and two years there. And I was home-schooled because I played the violin, and I did a lot of competitions.”
