The Moose is Loose - CLT Bound!

A few of you know this already, but for those who don't, I want to pass along some news...

I started a new job back in March, and while I've been working in NYC, the plan all along was that I would be based in the Charlotte, NC office. That time has come, and I'm getting ready to leave Long Island and head south. I hit the road next week, and after going to the Cup race at Pocono, I'll be driving down to Charlotte.

It's a great company and the folks have been terrific. I had a chance to visit Charlotte back in May to check out the office and the city, and it seems like quite a place. I'm looking forward to new places to visit and photograph - I expect to spend some time at CLT and the museum at the airport, as well as exploring the surrounding area. And it's close enough that I should be able to get back to NY when something really cool is expected.

It should be quite an adventure!

Glad to hear it! Now we have a reason to come by Charlotte ;)

Congrats Moose on your job advancement! Enjoy the North Carolina BBQ.

Good luck and safe travel's Moose. I will miss spotting with you. Hope to see you at least during this UN Week! :smile:

Moose, Good Luck in Charlotte and thanks for ALL the helpful info over the years my friend !!
I'm looking forward to seeing your spotting and Air Show photos from down in NC :cool:
FYI - Winston Salem has a show the end of August, so I hope you can catch it.

Oh and BTW, try to catch this new livery spotted at JFK before you leave ...
Hey, you never know, right Manny ??? Ha !! LOL :tongue:

Moose, you'll be very sorely missed by a lot of folks up here including myself. I've said this before, but I've been extremely privileged to have even met you and even more honored to count you as a friend. With all my heart I wish you nothing but the best of luck in this new chapter of your life and career!

Congratulations on the job enhancement John! Sounds like it's a good move for you to take! Now - I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of additional shots from Charlotte (raceway of course!!!) and - remember - all those great NASCAR shops that are in the Charlotte area!!!

Moose, congrats on the new job, wish you all the luck in the world with that. It was a privilege to have met you and had the opportunity to shoot with you. You are a class act and will surely be missed.

Enjoy NASCAR Country down there and hope to see you soon my friend

Glad we got to meet a couple times, good luck to you Moose

No! Don't go!!! :smile:

Good luck with everything, and come back to visit every now and then!

John,

Best of luck with your new adventures. I always enjoyed shooting with you aout at the airport or catching the shuttle at Bayswater and just shooting the breeze. You are an excellant photographer and and even better person. Best of luck.

Good luck to you John with the new job and location. I've enjoyed the few times that we spotted together and it was nice knowing you. Hope to see you around in the future.

Moose, all the best to you. I still remember you were the first NYCA spotter I actually met, shooting at Costco in 2005.
We've had some great outings since then. You will be missed up here, although I'm pretty sure, you will find a way to come visit around the end of May every year. :tongue:

John, I also wanted to extend my best wishes to you on your new job in Charlotte. Good luck and enjoy the Pocono race next week too...

Isaac

Good luck Moose!

You were also the first person I met from NYCA during airshow 2009 when the Thunderbird made the unexpected visit on Sunday. It has been great shooting with you and I look forward to doing more shooting in the future.

Good luck! I didn't know you were a NASCAR fan. Maybe we will meet at the speedway in Charlotte someday.

Moose has been one of the best examples as to why people love spotting in New York. A talented, friendly guy who will help out anyone and enjoy his passion with the best of them. It sucks to lose you as a local, but I'm really glad to have you as a friend, and I look forward to seeing you again, John.

Moose, best of luck to you!! I remember meeting you at Costco for the first time back in 2006, you gave me great aviation photo tips & great conversation! I'll miss seeing you out there but am looking forward to seeing some nice air traffic from Charlotte! You'll love Charlotte, it's a great town & NASCAR at Lowes Motor Speedway!

Keep in touch!

Mike

Beware.....NY Moose on the loose in Charlotte

John,

All the best to you with your new job and move. Look forward to seeing you with the gang when you are up here or may be when down in the Charlotte area.

Stay well and safe,
Mark

Welcome to NC, the Queen City has much to offer. Hope you enjoy it.

Best of luck John on your move to the Charlotte area. I'm sure the change will afford you many new photographic opportunities and a wonderful life experience. It's Fred I'm worried about...LOL! Lookout for me on the infield for The Bank of America 500 in October.

Enjoy the town, I'm in Denver, NC down there, maybe I will see you around. Be well.

Moose, best of luck to you. I'll see you next time I am in Charlotte and dinners on me.
dont forget to get in touch with Jay as we discussed. He offered his assistance.

Talk soon my friend.

This shucks.... As Carey says don't go!

Great news on your new assignment and wishing you the best. You ave been a great spotting source providing invaluable tips and help along the way to anyone in the community. It was a great to have spotted few times with you and make NYC spotting more fun.

All the best, safe journey and be well

Raj

PS: hope to see you on next big spotting event. ( UN weekend, 787 first commercial flight )

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! I'll miss seeing you and spotting regularly in New York, but I look forward to my visits in the future. I'm already planning to be up on Labor Day weekend at the AAM.

I spent yesterday and this morning loading the U-Haul, and headed for my stopover in PA. Traffic on the Major Deegan, one last time...
