Commander reaches flying milestone No.
By Staff Sgt. After jockeying his T-37 through a few maneuvers, the pilot anxiously awaits the clearance to land. He knows the hard part of this sortie will be getting the aircraft back down on the ground safely. On this Feb. 20 sortie, Gen. John Lorber, Pacific Air Forces commander, earned enough air time to chalk up more than 5,000 flying hours. I never expected to reach 1,000 hours in the air yet alone 5,000.
