“Two controllers who were inside the building at the moment of the attack were not injured.”
But due to the outstanding preparedness, and security planning for just such an event, the lockers containing spare undergarments was utilized and fully implemented as designed...
So far the government has not classified this as an act of terrorism...

At my base in Georgia we had a 30mm gun pod that was shimmed + 5 instead of minus 5. At the range the pilot shot the nose off his F4 and I can tell you 30mm does an amazing job penetrating Trailer park armor...

This is exactly what I’d expect from a military with a union.

Kinda sounds like the Tower Duty is about equal to being stationed in the Aleutian’s + live ammo.

Hey, a target’s a target!
To: Kozak
When I was on the range and the A10s would come over firing into the impact area. I always hope they were on target and I always wondered where their casings were falling.

Probably owed the guy in the control tower a poker debt.

I always wondered where their casings were falling. I don't think the A-10 dropped their casings, as it'd be big trouble if one got sucked into an engine. The casings are fed back into a storage bin.
