I am a pilot/warbird fanatic it all started fo rme years ago at an airshow I was volunteering at with the boy scouts and The collings foundation was there with there B-17 and B-24 Still Painted up as All American. One of the crew members gave me a hat and taht is how it started. Ever since I have been Trying to learn as much as I can about warbirds. While I was in the Navy stationed IN virginia Beach, I was involved with the CAF. I helped with the Maintenance of the C-60 and the FM-2 Wildcat. I was given my first T-6 ride by Gerry Yeagans Chief pilot at fighter factory. Now I belong to the Cincinnati warbirds and have had the opppurtunity to fly in many different aircraft. I also am now a full time flight Instructor at Sporty's in Batavia where the newest warbrd museum is going to open in April.
