Good luck with your PPRUNE retirement! Thanks for helping produce the best and biggest knowledge vault for helicopters that can be accessed by mere mortals.
Cheers

Heliport many thanks for all your time and effort; we are by nature an opinionated lot and to prevent our divergent opinions from becoming a brawl takes some tact. We've seen you do it time and time again.
Senior Pilot good luck and thanks for taking this on.

1. *doffs hat* It's been a pleasure.
2. What are your plans for filling all the time that you used to spend watching over us?
3. Just for fun, feel free to poke your head in from time to time and rap SP's knuckles for not cracking down on us hard enough and keeping it aviation related.
4. Thanks. Not to swell your head, but I really enjoy hanging out here. While you do a terrific (and until now, a thankless) job...it comes down to the quality of the pilots that post here. Some real gems amonst the lot. And some ne'er do wells like me, as well. Impressive that the forum hasn't regressed to the level of some of the other heli sites. Well done.

I rarely post, preferring to read others far sharper than me, but this time, it's imperative.
I've always been impressed by your fairness and even-handed approach. You let pilots push the envelope and smacked them only when it was deserved. Outstanding job, especially for what you were being paid.
Wishing you tailwinds (save for TO and landings
).

Heliport,
I extend my respect, admiration, and heartfelt thanks for your significant contribution to this forum and to helicopter aviation in general. Unlike so many other helicopter forums, Rotorheads has remained first and foremost a technical and educational oasis.
I sincerely hope to one day meet you in person - UK or US. The drinks are on me!
Best of wishes and good luck to the new Sheriff - 'El' Senior Pilot.

Thank you all so much for your generous comments here and in emails.
I took it on as a challenge in the quiet days, and I'm glad I did. I've enjoyed the discussions and the laughs, and I've certainly learnt a lot.
Paco's right. I will. 
It's been a big part of my spare time for so long.
I won't post again as Heliport, but I'll enjoy the discussions from the back rows and no doubt join in using another name.
Thanks again.
Heliport
PS: Here's another thread which gave me laugh.
Not a single word of truth in it of course.
How many Rotorheads .....

Heliport,
Rotorheads has been a source of information and entertainment under your stewardship.
Thanks for your significant contribution toward the growth of Rotorheads' membership and diversity of topics.
And also, thanks for the occasional times when you stopped the diversity from growing toooo much.
