General Hal M. Hornburg

The Contract Was For A Video
The video promotion called "Thundervision"
would accompany U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds to air shows. The $49
million contract was awarded to Strategic Message Solutions at the
urging of
Gen. Michael Moseley, despite the
next highest contract being $25 million dollars less.

The Special Contract
Goldfein gave 'Fast
Eddie Shipley', of TV infomercial fame, a $ 50 million
contract. Shipley, whose father Abraham Shipley owned a TV production
company, started
Strategic Message Solutions.
The contract was for a
website, and big-screen video
presentation, at the Thunderbird's air shows.

Favoritism On A Thunderbird's Contract
The Pentagon Inspector-General found that the 2005 contract to
promote the Thunderbirds aerial stunt team was tainted by improper
influence, and pointed to
General Goldfein.
