I got a nice shot of my old aircraft today. She goes into retirement this month just like me.

Ahh.....another short timer...just remember there is no tail hook on the vette and no wire to snag......by the way what does the fender badge on your vert say? Nice pics and have a great retirement (hopefully you will keep logging hours in something airworthy)

Nice pix and congrats on retirement! Considering your locale if you only went out on dry days you might not get to drive much

Of course I am basing this on reputation only - not actual experience

Thats great advice thanks
