  • Another migrant

    Hello all! I, like many of you, have finally made the migration from the gl1800riders forum. I think they started to "jump the shark" when they banned Rocky, although he did tweek folks pretty good when they were getting stupid. I'm certainly glad to find his, and others, expertise here.

    I didn't post much on the other board, I'll try to do better here. Cruiseman is doing a great job getting this set up and I certainly appreciate his, and others efforts to make this a welcoming and valuable resource for us goldwing riders.

    I'm a retired pilot (USAF - F-4, F-15, ANG - KC-135) with more than 31 years flying some of the best maintained airplanes ever seen. I live in Las Vegas now with my wife of almost 35 years. We have two grown sons and are brand new grandparents!

    Let me know if you're coming to Vegas, would love to meet up with you.

                Welcome to the forum Bill. Thanks for your many yrs. of service. I was in a fighter squadron in the mid 60's and worked on the Douglas A4E Skyhawk and was assigned to VA-212 Rampant Raiders. My job was ejection seats, pilots breathing oxygen, cockpit ac, etc.

                        Ain't nothing wrong with a 35-yr old wife once you retire...

                        ... or did I read that wrong?


                        I'll sound a bit like a parrot, but welcome here and more importantly, thanks for your years of service. I had a brother that may have very well taken a sip or two from your 135 (regular USAF assigned to the 162nd Wing before he got out). While it must take brass to fly a fighter up the rear of tanker while strapped in to an ejection seat, and quite likely more brass to sit on 200,000lbs of fuel without the ejection seat...

                        If you're ever on this side of the rocks, I'm sure we can find a place to ride.
