I vowed not to come back to FR, but I *had* to come back for this:

Capt. Tad “TC” Clark, a 35th Fighter Squadron pilot from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, has been selected as an Air Force Thunderbird pilot.

Clark, 32, who is assigned to the 52nd Fighter Wing’s 52nd Operations Support Squadron, said he has wanted to join the team since childhood. He will serve as the team’s advance pilot and air demonstration coordinator. He also will be the voice of the Thunderbirds during air shows as the narrator.

“I’m really just totally excited,” he said. “This is a lifelong dream. I feel really blessed that I’ve been afforded the opportunity to really represent everyone else that’s wearing the uniform whether in the States, overseas, or deployed.”

Robert Alan Clark is smiling down from heaven right about now.
