BTW, I'm lurking here, not as a pilot, but as a skydiver. . 95 jumps since 2013, and took a break in Feb '14 to work on my '70 charger and now '15 Camaro.

Blue skies!

I have a lot fewer hrs than the airline guys I went to college with. Currently I'm at ~5,000TT, 3,500ME, 2,000PIC-Turbine.

The hrs aren't adding up as fast as they used to...

We always joke about Cirrus pilots on one of the other forums I'm on. This popped up earlier

I don't know, but my guess would be Reno.

Somewhere in Nevada/Utah. That top plane was destroyed in a fatal crash ~10 months after that pic was taken

I'm a Boeing fan, but I like those A350s.

I had the pleasure and sadness of attending the final USAF flights of the F-4 Phantom today at Holloman AFB. They flew a 4 ship, broke the sound barrier over our heads and did a bunch of passes. There were 6 ships left that could be piloted. They will all now be stripped of everything and towed out to White Sands to be used as ground targets.

The first pic is Jim "Wam" Harkins taxiing out for the final flight, and also his final flight in a fighter jet. He has over 1,000 hours in the Phantom. The 2nd pic is Ron "Elvis" King, the last to taxi in, and the last active USAF pilot to fly the F-4.
He made a remark at the retirement ceremony along the lines of, what other airplane would have so many people gather at a very hard to get to AFB, four days before Christmas!! There is no other one!!

And the last shot, just a head on of the magnificent beast, my favorite jet, hands down.
