USMCFLYR,

Congrats Amigo!

Thanks for sharing your final flight and your thoughts. Awesome debrief!

Congratulations on 20 years of flying, serving, and defending our country. I salute you.

I wish you the best as you begin a new chapter in your life.

I know how you're feeling. I did my last flight in a Super at Lemoore two years ago, December...this month. Like you, 20 years of flying fighters (USN). It is a bittersweet feeling.

A wise man once said:

"A Fighter Pilot's career will end in one of two ways...

The first way a fighter pilot ends his career is that he will walk to his fighter jet KNOWING that today is his final flight in a fighter and he will never fly a fighter again...

The second way a fighter pilot ends his career is that he will walk to his fighter aircraft and NOT KNOW that this is his final flight in a fighter and he will never fly a fighter again."

"Well done" on finishing your career in the former and not latter category.

Congrats again and best of luck as you open a new chapter in your life.

NOTE: I am not sure how to "bump" this thread to the "military" section but I STRGONLY recommend someone do this. USMCFLYR you should let the rest of the military bro's who read this forum add their wishes. I almost missed reading your great post because it was in "hangar talk" and not in the "military" section.

Cheers,
