Hello-New Member from Northern VA

[Jesse3877]

Hello, Glad to join the group. I'm an FAA licensed Airframe & Powerplant Technician, specializing in Corporate Business Jets and Aviation Safety Management. I purchased a clean 1981 F-100 "Redbull" about a year ago. It came from the Louisville factory in 10/80 with a 4.9L engine, 3 speed manual transmission, and 9" 3.00 Traction Lock rear axle. It now has a carburated 351W with a C6 Trans. Same rear end. Looking forward to sharing my experiences and learning from the group.

Welcome, Jesse! Glad you joined.

What part of northern VA? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to put you on it if I had a city.

Speaking of that neck of the woods, we used to live in southern PA/northern DE and I frequently drove down to Falls Church on business. So I think I know something about the area.

Beautiful truck! You'll have to tell us more about it and your plans for it.

Welcome!

When I looked at your very nice truck, I remembered something my automotive mentor told me when looking at a similar colored vehicle: "re-sale red or arrest me red."

Thanks 1986. No speeding for me! I drive it slow on the highways but will let loose a little around town.

Welcome! I’m a retired aircraft mechanic. About the last half of my career in corporate aviation.

Grumpin, that’s great!  I worked on KC135’s A-10’s in the military then worked on Bombardier and Falcon products in corporate Aviation.

Jesse - You are now on the map. And, you obviously know where Falls Church is. I've spent a lot of time in that area since the company I worked for is headquartered there.

Good deal! Yes I’ve been through there but Don’t know much about the city . I rarely go inside of the capitol beltway.

This is what I get for getting too wrapped up in work and not paying attention to the forum for almost 2 years (and just lurk). I missed that we had another member in the same town as me at the time!

I just moved to Milton, DE this past summer from Leesburg! Dang it! I'll have to drop in sometime when we're back (feels like every other month or two).
