Biography

“I first flew the F-100 in 1959. After completion of training, I was assigned to the 18th Tactical Fighter Wing flying the F-100 in the 44th Tactical Fighter Squadron. Follow-on assignments were the 1st Air Commando Wing, flying the T-28, with two 6-month tours in Thailand. Then came two years of study at North Carolina State University, graduating with a Masters Degree in Mathematics. Then back to the F-100 and a tour at Phan Rang AB, South Vietnam. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the F-100 and it was with mixed emotions that I left it to teach mathematics at the Air Force Academy.”
