On this date, 53 years ago I took my first ride on an airplane. A flight on a DC 3 from Logan International in Boston to Lackland AF base in Texas. It was the beginning of my 4 yr stint in the USAF. I avoided the draft by 30 days, whew....
I have a vivid memory of my first assignment to the 3723rd Basic Military Training Squadron, Flight 47.
My time in the AF was a piece-o-cake, as I had previously served 3 years in the Royal Canadian Army, 5th Medical Company as a medic (bed pan carrier).
