After graduating from the University of North Carolina, my Dad enlisted in the Air Force. He got his wings while stationed in Hondo, Texas. Hondo Air Base was a USAF Air Training Command base, with a Pilot Training Squadron training pilots in T-28s, and T-33s. Most of Dad’s students would likely go on to fly missions in Vietnam.
