As you may know, USAF downgraded their cyberspace role from its important status as a major command … to the mundane status of just a numbered air force.

Out of curiosity … did Major General William T. Lord have a “flying exec”?

The implosion of “AFCYBER” means I may never know the answer to a simple question. I’ve always wondered if commanding general William T. Lord had a flying exec like other flag officers in operational positions.

A “flying exec” is slang for an Air Force combat pilot who pulls double duty, flying both an aircraft and a desk. They serve as an executive assistant to a colonel or a general — yet they continue to slip the surly bonds of earth.

So. If General Lord had a flying exec … what did he/she fly & fight with? Perhaps a Dell 2950 rack-mounted server, flown from a ClearCube ground-control station…
