Air Force Blues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Air Force Blues (abbreviated as AFBlues) is a comic strip available on the internet, created by Staff Sergeant Austin “Farva” May, an amateur cartoonist on active duty in the United States Air Force. The events in the strip take place mainly at the fictional Elmendork Air Force Base in Alaska, which is based on the author’s own real-life experiences at Elmendorf Air Force Base. The strip mainly follows the life of F-15 pilot First Lieutenant Kenneth “Barbie” Dahl, and several of those with whom he serves. Dahl is a fighter pilot with the fictional 809th Fighter Squadron.
The strip is homed on a website of the same name, managed by Senior Airman Justin "Marco" Coffman, a computer programmer, also on active duty. The site also features a forum intended to allow Air Force personnel, as well as friends and family, to share experiences and humorous events from their career fields and stations of service, as well as general conversation.
