      Hey Chief PO, I'd like to buy you a cigar or a nice bottle of bourbon sometime when I go for my monthly (or bimonthly) trip to Junction.
      Same goes for you Pail! I'd love to buy you a beer at one of the many breweries in JCT or better yet, if you ever make it to Moab, I'll buy you a beer at Moab Brewery!

    Another home run! I enjoyed the airline humor. True story, I recently was working on one of my jets, and got to talking with a new hire first officer. He was a former F-18 driver, just left the Navy. He still had the navy spirit, referred to me as a "Maintainer." And, the icing on the cake was, he called me "Sir!"
    First time an officer called me sir, lol. Didn't get a salute however but still a good chuckle.
    Fly Navy!

    Ok..one more.
    Our flight demo team is going to perform at the Grand Junction airshow. (Featuring the Thunderbirds). Its Friday practice day and the Canadian Super Hornet demo team as well as the USN Super Hornet are scheduled to perform on Saturday. After practice ( the USN team had not arrived yet) the commander of the Canadian team was the featured speaker at the performers cook out dinner on the ramp. When it was his turn to speak, he got about 5 words out when the USN 2 ship came roaring into the overhead, pitched out and made about 4 or 5 low approaches. The speaker just gave up and said.."Ladies and Gentlemen, your United States Navy"
    The timing was too perfect to be a coincidence..

    As a former EMS BH-412 Pilot at KGJT/ST MARY'S, that area has a lot to offer. Palisade Peaches in season are mouth watering, juicy, delicious. Further west, Green River melons are some of the best in the country. The FBO used to transfer over 100,000 gallons of military contract fuel each month to the cross-country fliers. Montrose (KMTJ), a little further away is also a good op stop. Really enjoy the videos, but will understand your jump to bus driver if the offer is made. Good luck!

Have learned how to use all the various weapons systems. I study all your videos for details I may have missed (not many). Nothing like doing it for real, though.
