Sister Arick Conners sacrificed her time the Friday of her daughter's high school graduation to take us out to Dyess Air Force Base and gave us a tour. We have several young men in our YSA Branch stationed at the base. She also took us to the local library, which is in the mall about a half mile from our house, to get our library cards.
Our Branch President, Pres. Luke, gave us a tour of the B1 Bomber he was working on. The airplane is HUGE! It can carry every kind of bomb and missile they use, even nuclear bombs. We climbed a narrow ladder to the tight quarters of the cockpit area. There were buttons and switches on every surface, including the ceiling. Pres. Luke just kept warning us NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING IN RED OR YELLOW in the cockpit. We were nervous we might accidentally lose our balance in the darkness of the cockpit and end up touching something red or yellow.
