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."

[Jesse3877]

Gary,

You can put me down on the Map for Leesburg, VA.

Thank you.

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

Regards,

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

[Jesse3877]

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. 

Regards,

Jesse

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.

[Jesse3877]

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).  

[Gary Lewis]

We've been missing you!  But now I know why - you moved to lower, slower Delaware.  Everything there goes at a snail's pace - except for at that roundy-round place in Dover.  

[JMUBullnose]

I agree with you 100%...LSD definitely makes you stop and appreciate the scenery! Watching my house slowly grow out of an empty lot has been fun and trying all at the same time!

[Gary Lewis]

Big diff from northern, VA.  Used to live just into PA outside of Wilmington and frequently drove into Falls Church.  

[Jesse3877]

JMU, hit me up next time you are coming into town, maybe when weather warms up. I like talking trucks and sharing knowledge.
