Phil I know you like endless droning , that's what happens when you sit next to Aircraft engines all day.

I think auldblue, it was the pay that kept me there. Can you imagine sitting up front of a tin can at 40,000ft flying the distance of New York to LA and back in one day? The boredom was the killer. There certainly were better days and I don't for one minute regret my 30 odd aviation years. But there comes a time for everyone to move on. There are far more interesting things to do in life than work for a living. Everyone has a cut off point, my only advice is hit the ground with your feet running, if you can. Too many guys retire then drop dead. I'm not retired, I'm just doing something very different and I don't in fact plan ever to retire in the traditional sense. I just now have far more time to obsess over Norton Commandos than I've had since I was sixteen! So obsess I will!!
