Adam, Jordan, It's great to hear someone is willing to take the reins and continue the legacy that is BT. The Jeffs created a treasure trove, and they fostered a spirit that attracted so many kind, intelligent, friendly folks. Some I already knew from a lifetime of aviation, but others like Max, I never would have met if not for BT. Don't know if you ever got to meet Max Grogan, but as the first BT Ambassador, he embodied the spirit of BT. An open heart and an open invitation to, "Come fly with me." That's the spirit of BT. I have a feeling reading your posts, that you will foster that same spirit. Wishing you the best. My sincere regards

Congratulations Adam and Jordan! Quick story on what an absolute stand up of a human being Adam is. 2018 I had been flying the hand me down A35 that my dad had bestowed on to me and needed some cylinders in order to keep flying. Adam took pity on me, and mailed me, free of charge, 6 lightly used cylinders with pistons. Out of the blue. Just asked me for my address, and shipped them. I learned a whooole lot installing those with help, lots of checking of tolerances, specific torque values, learning about dry lash, gapping rings, and on and on, an A&P, and my dad assisted the whole way. It was great to get to spend time with him wrenching and learning what he knew. I was back flying within a few months, and engine running better than ever. That is the type of guy that just took over Beechtalk. Freaking Awesome!

This place, Beechtalk, is very special. Most of my friends, none of them aviators, know about Beechtalk because I so often refer to knowledge I have gained through interacting with the tremendously community that is Beechtalk.
To Adam and Jordan I offer my hearty congratulations and best wishes in moving forward with this true pearl in the aviation community. I likewise offer my sincere thanks for having taken on the responsibility for husbanding what has become an aviation legend. There is much weight upon your shoulders now, and much responsibility.
While I have zero knowledge of website management etc, if there is anything I can do to help keep this wonderful haven of conversation alive, please reach out. Help is there for the asking. You've got a gem here, but like all gems, it requires protection and polishing. I'm certain you will feel both the burden and, hopefully, a tremendous sense of reward from taking good care of this community.
Again, thank you and congratulations on becoming the stewards of an incredible aviation resource.

Thank you both for taking the reins. I don’t own a Beech, but when I was looking, I found this forum and have been hooked ever since. I belong to several other aviation forums, but this is the best, from its organizational structure of the the topics, to the fact that it is not anonymous which allows for more civility, and finally to the wealth of knowledge, it is my daily go to read. Best wishes for continued success.

Thank you to the Jeff's for all the hard work through the years and thank you to Adam and Jordan for picking up where the Jeff's left off. The problem-solving knowledge here is as good as I've seen anywhere and very excited that the handoff has gone smoothly.
Good luck to Jeff and Jeff as you move into another "phase of life" and good luck to Adam and Jordan as you do the same:).
Cheers,
Matt
