Hello to all the Lajes High School alumni out there!
I attended LHS from 1980 to 1983 as a proud member of the Class of '84! I departed Lajes during the summer of '83 and completed high school in Southern California. After HS graduation, I attended the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. From there, I began my AF career as a pilot, where a majority of my time was spent in the C-141B Starlifter flying cargo missions around the globe.
During my 20 year AF career, I was stationed at:
Laughlin AFB, TX (pilot training)
Travis AFB, CA (C-141 pilot)
USAF Academy, CO (glider instructor & evaluator pilot)
Ft Riley, KS (AMC airlift liaison to the Army)
McGuire AFB, NJ (C-141 pilot & Wing Flight Safety Officer)
Scott AFB, IL (Combat Delivery Airlift Director)
Personally, I'm married to a wonderful woman (DeAnn), and we have two great kids (Zachary & Sarah). Our current home is in Illinois, and we'd love to hear from you!
Please PM me here or send me an email with your contact info!
Take Care and God Bless-
Patrick Silvia (LHS Class of '84)
