View Full Version : Introduction - Or, should we say, Hello!
HI - I am a former USAF pilot. Flew B-52s over Nam SEA and later RF-4s (which I loved) out of Shaw, AFB and now Austin Airport, Berstrom, AFB. I finished up flying F-4C in the ANG.
I am presently building a T-38C simpit, which I hope to one day share with BSA Scouts, CAP cadets, etc.

Hi, and welcome :smile: Always nice to have someone with experience onboard :bigsmile:
Welcome to the boards sir,
After reading your post I'm confident that you will like FighterOps.
Hope you enjoy your stay,
Thank you gentlemen! I see that you have some current fighter jocks posting. If anyone wants to know what it was like flying with the Wright brothers, let me know. :bigsmile:
It is good to see a site for fast movers. Most of the simmers seem to be big iron people. I flew B-52's as well as fighter. Let me tell you, a fighter is sooooo much more fun to fly than a dump truck.

Makes pit building a lot easier I'd imagine? :wink2:

Linebacker 2? When flying F-4s did you happen to know/meet Ed Rasimus?
Oh yeah, welcome! :beer:

"Makes pit building a lot easier I'd imagine? :wink2: "
Yes, especially the gauges. :bigsmile:
Sun, I was not involved with either Linebacker. I missed them. All my missions were South of the DMZ. Just bombed monkeys and trees.
I don't recall an Ed Ramsimus? Was he a Recon guy? I was in the RF-4C. Took pictures.
Here are a couple pics of where I am now. All construction has come to a halt for the moment. Adm. Miguez has order me to finish the bathroom remodeling project, which we have been planning for six months. :smile:

Nah, he flew F-4C, D, n E's from Korat. Just wondered on the off chance if your paths ever crossed. He's a nice bloke. His website might be of interest to you (www.thunderchief.org (http://www.thunderchief.org/)).

Looks good enough for cadets already! http://fighterops.com/forum/images/smilies2/image0011.gif Best to do what your CO says and do the bathroom first. http://fighterops.com/forum/images/smilies2/image0011.gif
