That was a special "Day Job"
Mr. Dye:
Bottom Line Up Front: you set a great example.
Others have extolled your accomplishments as part of the NASA team, as well as your thoughtful, reasoned Experimental Aircraft leadership here and in other venues; for me, your simultaneous contributions to both, at such a high level, is a continuing example of what dedicated effort can accomplish.
I'll never grumble about a "... pesky day job..." again.
Fair winds, sir, and following seas!

OK, you can retire from NASA
As long as you do not retire from VAF!
Paul, thanks for your contributions to our country! I know you will do many interesting things in your retirement. I look forward to reading about them.
We really appreciate you being part of our community.

Paul, thanks for your service, both to your country and here.
Now roll up your sleeves and get ready to another great ride. Retirement is one busy way to spend a day.
Congratulations!

Enjoy your "retirement" - I'm sure you will be very occupied  You are undoubtedly very fortunate to have had such an interesting career at NASA. All the best -

Big Time Congrats Paul
Enjoy retirement?. it's a great thing to get paid NOT to go to work!!
It was nice meeting you and Louise at Sun n Fun last year.
Thank you so much for your dedication to our space program. I hope that the current and future government officials can get back to doing the same in the future.
I watched from Ohio with anticipation of viewing a live shuttle launch and in the last few years, have had that opportunity after moving to Florida (3 live launches actually). Something very special, thanks to the folks like you and everyone else at NASA.
Thanks for your contributions to VAF and I look forward to your threads/magazine articles each month.

Gee Paul; now that you are retiring maybe you will find time to make some posts here on VAF!
You and Louise should come back to Sun n Fun this year so we can have more discussions on anything and everything at the Homebuilt Campground.
Congrats;
John Morgan
