Talking The Raptor's other ride.....

yeah well if you ever wondered where his Board Name came from well he used to fly JET's

Before getting behind the wheel of an S or Big Red he flew one of these Bad Boys



an F-4 Fighter outta March Field
met up with my middle & Mrs. there today as he loves planes we've hit several of the Air Museum's here in So Cal
I had not been to this one yet and well knowing it was @@The Raptor 's old stomping grounds it was on my list

SO MANY Jets there SR-71, C-17's and then some, my Dad RIP drove an army Jeep in WWII MP so seeing those always touch my as well.

Hey Mom, have you ever been to the national air force museum in Ohio ? That was quite the treat when I visited a few years back, and it was free too, so doubly good.

Yes, March AFB was my old stomping ground! Thanks for posting, Mom. That's an F14, also an old bird (Topgun). Variable geometry (swing wing).

Anne Marie once asked me: "You've built up a successful environmental services business. Would you give it all up to fly fighters again?" My reply: "YES!"
