Has anyone heard from him lately? I sent a PM weeks ago but didn't get a reply. I last heard from him a year ago.
-
I haven't heard from him either. He usually shows up on our squad board. Hopefully he and his family are doing well.

Here was here not too long ago judging by his profile

I remember a few of them well.

Like the one his missus "interrupted". We nearly flew off map following him.

Howdy, I replied PM Mav.
Just living the dream on Flathead Lake MT.
Youngest son graduated with a business degree in May. Oldest son works for Boeing, and he's getting married in Aug.
Upgraded a few toys before inflation overtakes everything this past winter. :aok New 5th wheel, new truck camper and new F350 Ford 6.7L DRW long bed with the 14k package. Life is good!

Great to hear everything is fine! You're a busy man. Take care of that wonderful family you have. A lot of us have been privy to your youngsters growing up.
You're a great Mom and Dad. Job well done!

Yes you have, I'm very proud of them. They turned out to be 2nd amendment supporting young men!
From this, to this!

Eagler, forgive my brainfartiness, but were you not the F15 driver in your career?
If so, are you still in TX?

You're right. I'm in the process to move to another city and get a new job. I need to buy a new (well, different) car or small truck before they double in price or something.
-

Ahh! That's right!
Eagler is the pileit from Florida! :airplane: Thanks!

That would be me.
I retired (22 yrs USAF) a few years ago and now I'm flying for Southwest, living in the LA area. Basically throwing fistfulls of cash into the fire buying SoCal lifestyle for the family and kids, because I can.
-
Howdy eagl! Glad you're a pilot, and a good company to work for! I retired from BA 3 years ago. My work started to interfere with our hobbies so wife called it quits at 54 and I was 57 when we cashed our chips in.

Howdy Ripsnort and eagl!
Great to see you both!
Need to get a good vr headset and try AH!
It's the best ww2 a2a action going these days IMO.

Wow swoop and hblair!
Howdy guys- you all are needed in MA. :)
I'd suggest investing in VR as AH implementation of it is better than any other flight sim IMO

You Bunch of Old Coots! :rofl At the age of 71 in my case, after I retired 9 years ago, there are certain priorities that do change (and must !)
Don't worry about exercise. You'll make more trips to the bathroom then you've done before. So my tip to you in this area it you walk for exercise, don't. You'll do more "night" walking then ever.
When I retired I retired. Sold the house (and my wife) so I don't have to do maintenance. Living in a grand apartment or condo is great! I often tell the ground crew they missed a spot when mowing the lawn.
Naps! A joy that can't be missed. Taking a nap at anytime (saying the hell with it) is almost an orgasmic experience.......well all most. Some of us, would have at times to spend over 24 straight hours at work, :D and were constantly on call 24 hours a day. My life was not mine. And I made sure that it is damn well mine now.
It's great to see the old folks of the game. Hope all is well for each and everyone of you!
-
Naps are great Hajo! I have them scheduled into my daily routine.
Honestly, I've never been more active and a "full plate" of to-do items as I have since I retired at 57.
This week we are taking a vacation from retirement. LOL. Visiting family right now in the north woods of Minn.
-
Ya know swoop to this day I am still getting the occasional porn spam from one of your old compromised email accounts.
-
Good to see these familiar names. You have great looking couple of boys there Rip. Looks like you raised them right. Retirement wont happen for me for a while if ever. Still in the body shop business. Busy as ever. I'm 52 now. Seems like 32 was forever ago. I guess it was lol.

Hey Rip, weren't you going to add me on Skype about a year ago? 'Swoop1974'
And Vulcan mate, that's not spam, I just thought you'd appreciate it.... :bolt:

My whole family is off the social media grid. It's too politicized. We are all back to email and phone calls, at least there are no temp bans for being right leaning on old school methods of comms.

Don't start....I get this all the time. Now I just tell folks that I was a Bruce double for his action shots.
Except I'm a freeze dried version.
-
Lazs and his gang miss you Rip. :D
-
Mate, Skype isnt social media. Its free voice comms, just like a phone call but doesnt cost $5 a minute to call international. Google is your friend!
-
woah so many still around here! :D
