Biography
I left active duty in May 1960. I came back to flying via a transfer to the Marine Corps Reserve flying A-4’s out of Alameda, California. That led to my career as a pilot for TWA where I started on the Connie, flew the 707, 747, and briefly as Captain on the 727. But my best experiences came while on active duty in the USAF flying the Hun.
