Huh??

After I first posted this a few years back my phone rang and there was laughing on the other end. Turned out to good ol' Gary Austin
who teased me relentlessly about that till he passed.

Got mines? P-3A VP-69

[SaxMan]

Thanks for checking in here, Jack!

It's a shame out of all those planes on the Nimitz, the only one left in service is the F/A-18.

Good to hear from you again...

You know...as soon as I saw the thread author and the start of the carrier pictures, I wondered if that one was going to be included .

Good stuff Jack!

Super-groovy stuff, Jack.

When it comes to NAVAIR, I'm a Tomcat man, but I'm really diggin' those SLUFs and reserve Intruders.


Fade to Black...

We heart you, Jack! Ok, MOST of us heart you, LOL.

Love that B-25... would that be a 41st BG bird, or do you know?

Cheers!

Well He11 Jack, I was putting myself into timeout for over reacting to that wing walking accident 1st & then after some help with my buddy James Beam, I misunderstood some comments from some of our fellow WIXer's (that I wish would delete my comments they "quoted"), really showed my ass (make no mistake, I am passionate about aviation safety, air shows, & everything else in my 30 something years of this professional addiction) and decided to take a break, well Hell, here you are back & I just have to say how cool it is to see you share with us again.

I was looking for the guy with his hands in his pockets!

YAY!!!

A Jack Cook post!!

Thanks Jack. Don't be a stranger on account of the odd idiot.

I think of Gary all the time. He will remain the most influential person that I never met.

Gary personally caused me to discover WIX, and (in best Forrest Gump voice) that's all I have to say about that.

When indefatigable veteran aviation enthusiasts such as J. or R. leave WIX, they really don't do anybody any favors ... least of all, ME!!! Good to see you back, guys!!!

The world makes sense after you build at AT-6!
