I've had a passion for warbirds since I was around 5. My first warbird ride was in a B-25 (glen lamont) when I was 18. I took 3 hours of dual in a T-6 not long after, then 2 hours in Crazy Horse. I've been really fortunate in flying in alot of warbirds over the years, but nothing can top being on the crew with the Collings Foundation. Truly an experience of a lifetime, and I am still pinching myself. Almost 10 1/2 months on the road in a B-17 and B-24...wow, now going on year two. The opportunities that opened up over the last year have been incredible
PT-19, 3 Stearmans, Waco, IAR-543, P-51D, Express, Mooney, Gliders, King Air, not all warbirds...but alot of neat aircraft. Long may they fly!!!
