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. :cry:

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.

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 :lol: .

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.

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! :supz:

YAY!!!

A Jack Cook post!! :supz:

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!!! :supz: Good to see you back, guys!!! :rock: :rolleyes: :partyman:
