Hey all,
Brad asked that I post a little on my other hobby (i.e. "job"). When I am not pulling my hair out and enjoying my 914, I work as an F-15 Eagle pilot for the Massachusetts Air National Guard. I spent 14 years on active duty and flew the Eagle in Alaska and Florida before joining the guard and moving to the NE. My squadron does most of the patrols over Boston and New York as part of Operation Noble Eagle. We are also worldwide deployable, but spend most of our time "guarding" the East Coast. It is certainly a fun job and I have no complaints! Over the years, I have known several F-15 pilots who where 914 drivers. One guy with over 3,000 hrs in the jet drove a 75 yellow 2.0. He had replaced the stick shift knob with a fighter stick grip! He sold the car last year and I cursed him for it! I absolutely love this site and have learned more about 914's in the last few months than I had learned in the previous 21 years since I took my drivers test in my 914 in 1982! This site will certainly help keep the 914 alive and well into the future. Nemo Attached thumbnail(s)

Thanks everyone for the nice words. It is good to feel that your country is behind you. It hasn't always been like that!
VSG914 and JNP914 -- Thanks for your service too. I spent a good amount of time at Korat, Thailand in 1997 for a Cope Tiger exercise. That's a crazy country. Bet it was wilder then you guys were there! Fiid -- I would love to drive a 914 with something larger than a 1.7! But, its my baby. First car, first date, etc. I am attached to it as is. Guess I should start looking for a 2nd 914 with a little more thrust. Oh, and I wish I could say Mach 2+ was something special, but not much happens! Feels about the same as when my 914 hits 90 mph -- a little shakey and I hold the wheel a little tighter!! Brad -- Thanks for the offer to post about my Eagle time. Don't let a bad experience with a Blue Angel ruin your impression of Air Force guys. Those Blue Angel guys are assholes! You should have pissed on his fence after you ran it over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) Also, my tactical call sign is NEMO. Now, first person to solve my sputter on decel problem gets a ride in the two seater!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) My 914 that is. NEMO |
