Not only did I love flying an F-156, I had lucked out by being stationed in Italy with the Triple Nickel.  In my six years in the U.S. Air Force, I had called nine different places home, but no location was quite as beautiful as northeastern Italy.  My apartment was in a quaint village called Montereale Val Celllina.  I was___________
