Long journey to a dream for pilot by TheKathrynReport
He was the seven-year old who thought pilots were right up there with HeMan and G.I.Joe and other super-human heroes.
He was the boy who went with his dad to every air show and took every chance to explore the air museum and Hill Air Force Base.
He was the young man who stopped a pick-up game of football to watch the planes fly overhead.
He was the newlywed who kept dreaming of flying for the military even after others said it was not possible.
He was the enlisted man who trained to work with F-16 munitions and thrilled when working on the flight line and watching the F-17s take off.
And now, he is the pilot.
He, is Erik Christensen, son of Gordon and Karin Christensen of Kaysville and a pilot in the Nevada Air National Guard. ( Read more... )

Everybody knows that Santa is a paratrooper from Air Force Link Top Stories
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen. But on Dec. 6 at Pope Air Force Base, it was not a team of reindeer, but Maj. Jeff Dasher, a navigator in the 95th Airlift Squadron who guided the mission for the 440th Airlift Wing's C-130 Hercules that flew a group of Soldier Santas across the morning sky.
One might say he was born for this mission.
"It's the name," Major Dasher chuckled. "I had to be on this flight."
His flight was part of the 12th annual Randy Oler Memorial Operation Toy Drop, a program sponsored by Fort Bragg, N.C., and Pope AFB officials providing toys to needy children in the Fayetteville, N.C. area. The toys, donated by the participating servicemembers, are delivered to children in time for Christmas.
