Not much pal. Made the move from Toyota tech to F-16 weapons system
specialist. Mechanical systems are mechanical systems, just arranged
differently in this case. At least I don't get any squeaks and rattles
complaints from pilots...
Still have your Supra?

Oh, yeah. I'm going to try to get at least 5 years out of it, or at least
until Toyota gets off their duffs and makes another one!
F-16, eh? Weapons systems?! Oh Boy!!!
Now, I don't know much about the weapons systems, but ask the Airframe
guys (and the pilots) what they think about the DEEC. I used to work at
Hamilton Standard, and was hired just about the time the EECs were being
replaced with the DEECs. I went to an airshow in 1991, and a pilot SHOOK
MY HAND in appreciation for the work we had done making the plane fly so
much better. Then he said, "Stick around...I'm going up in about an hour,
and I'll show you what a difference it makes."
Well, he took off, did a few 'normal things', and then came for a run at
the runway. He was probably about 50 feet or so above the runway, I can't
even guess how fast, and when he got the the end of the runway he did a 90
degree 'turn'...STRAIGHT UP! All the way to 20,000 feet in a matter of
seconds. Wow!

Hey, wouldn't be the 144th from CA, would it? They're on Mail Call right
now refueling from a KC-135.
Nope, 46th testing squadron at Eglin, FL.
Military life isn't bad at all. Whenever I think I'm getting sick of it
I see stuff like a 15 coming over the flight line 1000 feet up at
supercruise, and it gets real cool again. I do miss getting under a hood
though. It's like a rat inside me that won't shut up. But I guess when
you stop doing the only thing you've really known that'll happen. I think
I'll get a part time spot at the auto hobby shop here on weekends, see if I
can't flex the ol' ASE muscles a little.

We thank you for your service!
My Air Force son just got back from a round the world trip. He was on
Diego Garcia for a bit. That is NOT a prime assignment...LOL

Oh, I thought you were in CA. FL, eh? Been to see Scott yet?
Considering making it your career?
It was excellent hearing from you! Keep in touch when you can.

So those stories, about Gannet Egg Omelette and Great Auk Biryani
being to die for, are not entirely to be trusted?
