Thumbs up Welcome to our newest member-Mcculloughrp

Hey everyone,

I want to welcome our newest member, Mcculloughrp, to our chapter. He already posted a bit in the "getting to know you" thread, but I want to make sure he gets formally introduced.

Mcculloughrp has one of my dream jobs, working on one of the greatest airplanes ever built. I wonder if he ever worked on the SR-71s?

Here is some information he shared.

I live on Beale AFB. It is about 30 mins north of Sac. If you did not guess, I am in the Air Force. I am a crew chief (General Mechanic) on the U-2. I am married, no kids, just a dog that we baby like one. I like going four wheeling, but I sold mine last year and want to get another one soon. But the wife needs a car first. Untill I get this truck running we are sharing my Mustang, then she will be mainly driving it. But I do not want it to be a daily driver.

I recently picked up a '86 F-250 XLT supercab for $400. I need to change a leaking head gasket, both power window motor and the ignition switch. So I'll have about $600 in the truck when I am all done. Besides the price, I bought because I love these old trucks. My dad has an '82 F-250 with a 351w and 10,000lb towing package.

My wife wants a '02 or newer explorer, and after that I hope to find an '80's to early '90's 4x4 f-150, with a 300 I6 (I think thats the right motor, I do not remeber) to build into a wheeler.
Let's all give Mcculloughrp a big welcome!

Thanks mike. I did not get a chance to work on the SR-71. They retired it before my time.

Thanks. Does anyone live near me? If you do and need a hand just give a holler, I am always eager to lend a hand.

Welcome to the family, good to see another Air Force person. I was Air Force between 1976 and 1981, worked on the F-4e at Homestead AFB in south Florida. We have a few members in the Sacramento area. I am a bit south in Fresno. That is cool that you were able to pick up an '86 F-250. That is my favorite style. I owned a 76 F-250 mainly because I got it cheap, but preferred the next generation, like yours. Hope you have many years of fun with it.

Thanks.

I hope I get many years of fun too. I just got to get it running. I have not even driven it yet. Except onto a trailer, and then off.
