Two years ago, we featured an item about Col. Sam Shaneyfelt, USAF (�86), who was then assuming command of the 35th Operations Group at Misawa Air Base in Misawa, Japan. After completing that tour of duty, Col. Shaneyfelt has returned stateside.

�I�ve been reassigned to help manage the production of the Department of Defense�s newest fighter aircraft, the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35),� he writes. He is now working at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia at Headquarters, Air Combat Command. �I�ve traded in my lovely F-16 Fighter for a desk that doesn�t move nearly as fast,� he jokes. �But the job�s important, and I�m happy to get to work getting this fighter into the hands of capable pilots.�
