Comments

Lieutenant Colonel, Royal Danish Air Force Reserve After flying 11 years in the Air Force I chose to join civilian flying and moved permanently to Copenhagen with my family. While flying civilian I served more than 25 years as a reserve officer for which our Queen honored me with the Royal Chivalry Cross, medal for 25 years in the reserve and medal for service for Reserve Officers of Denmark. Besides the flying and the family, my interests have been yachting, drawing and painting. I enjoy visiting with family and relatives in US States of WA, NV and AZ.
