Biography
Pilot Information

‘The tour in VN flying the F-100 was the most enjoyable of my career. Felt I was finally getting to do what I had been trained for all those years.

Flew 505 hours combat and 320 missions. Did not have one abort in that year which was a testament to the quality of maintenance and dedication of the maintenance troops.

Purchased a 1948 Swift in ’99 and continue to fly teaching the guys the finer points of formation flying.”
