1. Introduction
Retired Military can travel in a Space Available (Space-A) Status
on military planes. When they say Space Available that's what they mean.
If they have space avaliable you can fly for free. All you need is a
military ID card. But you don't know where you can go or if seats are
available until the very last minute.
So that is why I can't tell people where I am going...because I
don't know. But I can tell them after the fact where I have been.
2. Tampa, Florida
When I drove out to MacDill AFB on Monday morning I had no idea of
where any planes were going. I arrived at 8:10 am and found only
one plane going to Biloxi, Mississippi. While waiting for that
plane they announced another plane going to Wright-Patterson AFB
in Dayton, Ohio, so I signed up for that Space-A. Upon arrival
I fould only one plane going to Scott AFB near St Louis, Missouri,
leaving about 3 pm the next afternoon.
3. Dayton, Ohio
On the flight to Wright-Patterson AFB I remembered the John and Fran
Detrio lived in Dayton, Ohio, so I called them and left two
messages on their phone. Unfortunately, they both work so are
not home during the day (I,m going to have to collect some office
phone numbers for people. So I went to the officer's club and
called them again at 4:30. They came to the base at 7:30 and we
visited until 10:30. See their hot link for more...
a. The Detrio's
This is a really nice base. I have never been there before, but
will go back when I have a chance.

4. Colorado Springs, Colorado
I have been to Colorado Springs many time since 1956 when my
family first visited my aunt and uncle there. As it turned out
I had two whole days there, but have visited all of the touristy
things. I could have rented a car and drove someplace, but I
was waiting for that "Hop".
