Two of the commands are located near our home at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

We just caught a hop from MacDill to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Peterson is also home of a major US  Command. Retired military personnel can ride Space Available on US Military planes - a nice benefit which encourages people to make careers in the military.  

Flight to Peterson Air Force Base 

Caught a C-37 from Macdill Air Force Base in Tampa to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.  Very nice ride. Will drive slowly to the coast via national parks.
