A U-2 Dragon Lady crashed on landing in the United Arab Emirates upon return from a mission over Afghanistan [story] on June 22.
The pilot, Major Duane Dively, was killed in the crash. He was the ADO at the 5th Reconaissance Squadron when I was assigned to the unit from June 2000 to June 2001. My heartfelt condolences to Major Dively's family and the U-2 community.

It's Tuesday evening here in Florida, and that means its Beach Night, when Gina and I take a cold dinner to Beasley Park on Okaloosa Island and enjoy the natural beauty around us.
It's a rough life, but somebody has to live it.

The above photo was taken at Beasley Park on Okaloosa Island this evening. Gina and I and have begun a "beach night" tradition, where we take a picnic dinner to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico one night each week and enjoy the natural beauty that is only fifteen minutes from our house. We may not live on the water, but we sure as heck can enjoy it.
