Popular Post EvilEagle Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 I am officially a has-been. My fini flight was this morning, retirement ceremony this afternoon. Bittersweet to say the least. Getting out of that jet for the last time was a bigger deal than I was expecting. It's been a good ride - 21 years in and 18.5 of the last 19 flying the Mighty-Mighty (quick MC-12 stint in AFG back in '11). I haven't been posting much, but it's about to get a lot less. Thanks to all the warriors out there; keep fighting the good fight. Now I'm one of those guys that thank you for your service. I probably won't buy you lunch though - I'm still a cheap-ass airline pilot. Do your best to keep this place following it's roots - helping people in the fight (or trying to get there). Hasta-la-bye-bye. Evil 49 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLEA Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks for your service! Obviously it would still be nice to keep you around so you can bicker at the SNAPs, tell them how shitty it was back in your day, and yell at people to get off your lawn. Regardless, as a service, we often forget how big of a deal it is to retire, especially now, that people from your generation on; have known nothing but GWOT ops the entire time they've been in! Serious Congrats! And best fortunes in your future endeavors! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks for your service Evil. I think we crossed paths a time or two over the past 14 years. Don't be too much of a stranger. Your company has been much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
