Congratulations. Remember, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. Re the U-2, I just read an article the other day that one of the Dragon Ladies flying over Syria racked up its 30,000th flight hour. Also this: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/f86sabre-bait-1792056824 , ICYMI.

So, when you are not at work and talk about work are you going to start everything off with “Generally  speaking....”

Congrats.

I had a number of folks who are ready to take my old job. Something I am pleased about is the number of folks who were part of my team who have gone on to be leaders.

The D.C.-9 pic was awesome.

Outstanding. Sounds like you’ve got some really good people around you. Gotta love the steam gauges. So much teal.

I can only think of the $20k I need to fly in a Mig to that altitude.... Since they won’t ever let me go up in a U-2.

I have the best people around me. Really amazing folks.

I have a love / hate relationship with the -9. It was a great plane for its time, but by the time I worked on themafterthe merger they were tired. Getting to be that way with the -88s as well. That is going to be a big part of my new gig is keeping the -88s going to retirement.

Pretty much. I’m a slightly better public speaker though.
