Beautiful big B-52 at Maxwell AFB. Stayed in Chennault room at VIP quarters--there's some old-school WWII history (the "Flying Tigers").

Addressed class of '07, Air War College. Maybe 400 or so.

Was told they just get up and leave if you go over 45-minute mark for break, or just start spontaneously clapping to cut you off.

I went 75, then we broke for 10, then I did 35 mins Q&A, to run 30 mins officially over 90-minute limit. No one left early.

Got a very nice, Class of 07 coin.

Then a completely snafu'd trip home.

Still, very nice time and well worth the trip.
