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.

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? :lol:

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". ;) :D
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.

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.

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. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Absolutely no sense of humor. What on earth were the Brits doing there?
