MC-130J

The first four MC-130J Combat Shadow II were presented to AFSOC today in a roll out ceremony at Lockheed Martin's Marietta, Georgia facility. Fittingly the weather was gray and overcast. The kind of weather the aircraft will thrive in when put to operational use. It is kind of nice to see something you had a hand in actually materialize

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
