A great guy all around. He "flew West" last year, died of natural causes. RIP.

The Blues is NOT a career, enhancing tour. He was passed over for Captain, retired as CDR.

(RAY HAWKINS) was also passed over so He retired as a Captain. He told me that the Chief of Naval Operation did not like him.
Ray shot down 14 planes before he was 21, and three more in Korea. www.blueangels.navy.mil/ BOB MOORE

At the table, Bill asked her why the urgency. She said "Because I think you are my father."

She told him her birthday, her mothers name, and counted back 9 months, and sure enough, it was a distinct possibility.

I'm an 800 hour private pilot with about 500 hours of Sky Diver Drivin' in my own aeroplane.

The first time I flew a C182 I brought it and flew it home right accross Australia (15hours flight time)
I owned VH-RLH for seven years and had it repainted and put a new prop on it.
Sadly now it is gone to a new home.

Apart from that, 80 hours in a C210, 16 in a Lance and time on 150, 172, 206's and the good ol' PA 140 kind of sums me up.

Brad

I fly Falcon 20 for a living, and my 180 when not flying R/C....I just wish that the Falcon that I fly had these rockets!! The lines at DCA and Hartsfield would be a lot short for me then!!!! It's great to be able to do what you love for a living and even get paid for it!!Jim
