What a two days at Laughlin AFB!  This is the  largest pilot  training base in the USAF, and is home to the 47th Flying Training Wing of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC). On weekdays, the airfield sees more takeoffs and landings than any other airport in the country.  Wing Commander Hastings, Chief Clapper and staff lead one great team at this incredible Del Rio, TX location.  Aliyah, Sabrina, Sandra and leaders, thank you. Melissa, could not have done this without you. The Airmen and Civilians made this the best Wingman Day I have ever!  I cannot express the appreciation my family and I have for the determined, focused and resilient Airmen who serve this nation so proudly.  My brother Sean made his first Military base appearance to a thunderous applause and one that will lift his self esteem for years to come.  I have been moved to emotions with your reaction and treatment of my brother and family.  Your respect and honor will be treasured for a lifetime!

Aliyah and Sandra, we love you dearly.  Sean said to tell you so, before he passed out in the car on the way back to San Antonio airport.  Job well done my brother.  You officially have a taste of life….’On the Road’!
