On January 9, 2009 we attended assignment night for UPT class 09-04 at Columbus AFB, MS. After a year (or more) of pilot training each class member finally finds out which plane they will be flying and what air force base they will be going to.
Kevin’s first choice of plane was the B2 spirit, but receiving a B-2 straight out of pilot training is rare. So Kevin did what he does best and manipulated the system doing all he could to get a
B-2 in the drop for his class. After much drama of losing the #1 spot and finding out no fighters would be given to his class, on assignment night we walked away ecstatic.

Why is he so happy? The B-2 does the Rose Bowl fly over every year!
If you want to learn more about the B-2:
I don't have many pictures of the actual graduation. The day was a blurr trying to wrangle a
7 & 5 year old and take care of a week old baby. But it was a great day and we were so proud of Kevin!
