Greetings From Arizona!

Hey guys!

I finally got the laptop that I ordered about a month ago and can catch up with the virtual world now.

Aside from a 6 hour pause in my trip (slung a fanbelt in Louisiana and overheated and took 6 hours on the side of I-10 to get parts and fix) everthing went well.

I have been at work for a few weeks now and am enjoying it. What's cool is that I have been working in the very same Harrier squadron that I worked in as a Marine.

for those that didn't know, I am working as a subcontractor to Boeing in a Harrier maintenance program.

It is great to see some old familiar faces and to be around the aircraft again.

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and have a Merry Christmas too.

Glad you're up and running...

Just completed our Richloam Run, somewhat wet down there, and tons of hunters. Looking now for the Annual Event.

Hope the move turns out 100% for you and Sandy,
Later,

Jerry D.

Send us those wheeling pics - a few Harriers would be kool too

I haven't tried any wheeling out here yet. I need to try and find out where all the good places are. When I do, I'll post pics.

As far as Harriers - well, that would be more difficult. They don't like cameras around the flightline very much.

Well now - if I could go out a snap a shot myself I woudn't have asked now would I - I'm sure you'll have a few someday sooner than later.

Oh, I'm sure I will get the opportunity. Heck, we used to snap photos all over the place when I was in, but security has gone up considerably since 9/11.
