Congratulations, Bill! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Congratulations Bill. That is a lifetime to be proud of. Keep it up. Anyone that can keep their medical that long has been living right. ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again. A. E. Housman | |||

Congratulation to you one and all for long careers in the air. How many have set back and guesstimated the number of miles covered during that time? Especially to Bill Brady . . . And in a Beaver too. One of a very short list of aircraft I would love to fly in. Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

Thanks Guys I have often thought of trying to figure out the mileage,the only thing like that that I have done is I dropped 43,000,000 pounds of water when I was waterbombing the fires,that is 5175 bomb runs in the PBY. Take care Bill Brady DRSS | |||

What a milestone! I'd say something corny like "may the wind be always at your tail" but I know the only reason you're still flying is because you don't like going through TSA checkpoints as a passenger.  . | |||

Hi Jamie Good to hear from you.You are right about TSA and the tailwind I can always hope.Sitting in Cambridge Bay,Nunavut wind has been hawling out of the north for two days I hope it's still a good tailwind when I and southbound in a couple more days. Take care Bill DRSS | |||
