Re: RD's Retirement Flight
it's now safe to walk about the cabin? I couldn't see your right hand. I assume you were either decapping or priming.
congrats on retiring (not to mention flying big birds). I calculated I have to work until I'm 200 years old. if I die before then, I win.

Re: RD's Retirement Flight
Thanks for sharing your last flight. I'll bet it was a bittersweet event.
BTW, aren't you suppose to buzz the tower on your last flight?

Re: RD's Retirement Flight
That was cool how they hosed an arch over you when approaching the terminal. The passengers must of loved that too.
As you have learned retirement is only a change in lifestyles and more stuff to get done just to keep up with your "retirement".

An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

Re: RD's Retirement Flight
Yeah, time flies and speaking of flying, don't even think about it anymore. I guess that means I had enough and it was time to retire.

Re: RD's Retirement Flight
Congratulations and great videos, Michael! If you didn't want to buzz the tower, you could of at least barrel-rolled that big flying machine (737?).
Which reminds me of the time that I flew a F4G just forward of the bow of a British destroyer (or cruiser) at 800' altitude about 200 miles East of DaNang......my CO (and the Brits) were not impressed.
