I spent 4 years at the Griff! Good times! I miss the place - of course the winter was loooooong. I found a gift certificate the other day for the Revere restaurant.

We'd always have our ORI's (big inspections by a SAC team) before Chritmas so everyone on the team could hit Revereware for Christmas gifts.

Lot's of memories but none as good as a first flight! Congrats!
