Of all the memories this one srings straight to mind:
IX(B) at Bruggen in the late '90s.
Real live this what Bruggen was here for stuff; long range sorties over the Former Yugoslavia.
First crews back in Rects Control after landing, first question - "is everybody back safely"
"yup" says the Boss (Baggers) - the masshosive sense of relief at that moment that enveloped the whole room made everything worthwhile.
