WSU's Visit To Fairchild

Washington State University plays Utah in college football November 19th as part of W-S-U Armed Forces Day....and yesterday, the coach and athletic director rewarded some of fairchild's airmen with complimentary tickets.

Paul Wulff and Bill Moos also received a tour of the air base and tried their hands at flying in a stratotanker flight simulator.

They had lunch with WSU alumni in the Warrior Inn dining facility on base and hung out in hummers with the Army National Guard.
