They are Oklahoma's finest and they are protecting us even when we sleep. The Oklahoma Air National Guard is a vital part of national security, as are other guard units around the country. While America was celebrating its’ birthday, Oklahoma’s top guns patrol rich energy and oil resources in Texas and along the Gulf Coast. ‘Mission Alert’, it’s the Oklahoma Air Guard’s role in protecting the homeland from the threat of terrorism.
Lt. Colonel Trevor Laws, call sign… ‘T-Dog’ is one of the commanders of the 138th Fighter wing out of Tulsa.
While Colonel Laws flys the Fighting Falcon, James Hilbert is an F-16 Crew Chief, and is responsible for making sure the jets are ready to go at a moment’s notice.
Listen to these men in part one of our report from KRMG's Marshall Stewart, who had the chance to fly with some of Oklahoma's finest.
The Tulsa soldiers are now stationed in Texas, but maintain their ‘okie’ roots. More on that in part two of ‘Protecting the Homeland’.
