Spent three years with the 79th TAC Fighter Squadron with home base in RAF Woodbrige, 70 miles north of London. From there we would travel, on an ongoing basis, to Izmir,Turkey; Tripoli,Lybia; Aviano,Italy and Bergen, Norway. It was quite enjoyable and an incredible learning experience.
I spent three years with the same roomates which eventually became like brothers to me.
