And we did air-to-ground training, too, for JTACs.

We supported the Navy special operators at Fallon.

We would drop...

um, you know, um, like Mark 76 and, um, uh, training ordinance for JTAC controllers and such on the ground, because again, you didn't have to use an F-16 or an A-10 that you might need to use in other parts of the world when it was, you know, kind of more about, you know, who you're talking to and what's falling off the airplane than it was the actual airplane type.

So, uh, we, we got to do a lot of really cool missions.

Draken still has that contract even today, you know, supporting the guys up at Fallon for, yeah, JTEC training and such.

Me, personally?

Yeah.

I mean, he led all the Tomcats into Desert Storm.
