As any of the guys can tell you who have met him here at Stovebolt HQ at the Homecoming or other events, Hambone is a pretty quiet, unassuming, humble guy who would not want to make a big deal out of any of this. He's not your typical jet puke in that regard  So in celebration of a career well served: After the last flight an aviation tradition!As he said, "Bright sunny sky, supersonic, 6 g's, up-side-down, legal in the break." Not too shabby a way to end a career. John
