Great picture today via the Disabled American Veterans Facebook page of US Air Force Thunderbird #7 and Ops Officer, LtCol Derek ‘Taz’ Routt, with DAV Past National Commander Jim Sursely at the recent EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
“PNC Jim Sursely chats with LtCol Derek Routt of the Air Force Thunderbirds“
Not only is it a really nice picture to begin with, by squatting like that in front of Jim, Taz has also provided a super example of good etiquette when you’re talking to someone in a chair.
Based on just what I see pretty often, I’m not sure most people know they should try to get at or below the eye level of the person in the chair and not make them strain their neck and look up at you.
If YOU didn’t…well, now you do.
