Default Hello - New Member from Florida

Joined a few weeks ago but forgot to introduce myself on the "New Member" thread.

Retired to NE Florida (Green Cove Springs) from Atlanta where I worked at Delta Air Lines Technical Operations major maintenance hub for a little over 20 years. Prior to Delta Air Lines I served 30 years active duty in the US Navy as an enlisted aircraft mechanic (E1-E7), then received a commission as an (Aircraft Maintenance Officer - LDO), Ensign (01) to Commander (05). Retired now and have more time to enjoy my recently purchased 3,400 mile 2010 C6 Callaway 4LT Grand Sport convertible. Other toys include a 392 Hemi Jeep Wrangler, a Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide and BMW R1250 GSA.

OBTW.......This is my 4th Corvette having previously owned a 1973, 1991, 1992 and now a 2010 C6.

Welcome. It looks like you're going to have an enjoyable retirement, and well deserved due to your lifelong sacrifices, hard efforts, and dedication. Glad to have you.

Thank you for your service!
Brotha, it looks like you have done retirement right! Wow. Although I may be just a tiny bit prejudiced, I’m loving that C6 GS! Great color combo. Kerry, enjoy the fruits of your labor and that definitely includes your beautiful Corvette!
