    First time viewer. Growing up as a Nebraska farm girl with an uncle who became a pilot and an aeronautical engineer for NASA at Ames in San Jose which turned me into a lifelong av geek, the video pushed a lot of good buttons for me. The farming clips show how technical it has become and that it takes a very smart, detail oriented person with mechanical aptitude to be successful at it, similar to being a pilot! A couple less zeros for the price of equipment though. I wish the general public had more appreciation for what all goes into farming. Your well produced videos could make a difference in that regard. Happy "retirement" and thank you for your service!

    Great Video Cap. ( sorry couldn't see the rank). Left my crew (best crew ever) a year and a half ago and glad they call me with news and follow ups on whats going on so I hope your crew does the same. You never know how much a crew means to us until you throw that notice ( Not Notam's) in to retire. Funny my wife will never understand how much Crews mean to her private job but the (crew) are me and hopefully I am "the CREW to them, we lived, learned, had great times, bad times, cried/hug for sad moments and happy moments ETC

    Congratulations sir. On successful career and on finally being able to follow your passion. Former Ohioan born in Dayton and lived for many years across the street from the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Love aircraft and flying and never cease to be amazed at the longevity of the KC-135 or the B-52 for that matter. Vietnam era Navy veteran and retired from a 35 year career as a long haul truck driver. With a wave of the hand from Gulf Coast Florida I wish you “Blue skies and tailwinds.” 🫡🇺🇸⚓️

    Thank you for your service and sharing your last flight. My hat goes off to you. My wife's uncle was a retired Colonel with over 24K logged hours. He started with the Army Air Corp in 1945 and lied about his age to enter the war as a fighter pilot. He flew through Korean war where the USAF changed him to helicopters. He also flew through the beginning of Vietnam. He later opened his own helicopter flight school and flew for years for "Carson Helicopters." Three war vet. My dad was a retired USAF vet. Our son is currently active USAF with close to 10 years under his belt. Watching your video brought back MANY memories and tears to my eyes. Best of luck on the farm and God Bless you.
