How did you become interested in aircraft?
My grandfather was a large influence in my aviation interest. He was a ground mechanic on B-26s in World War II and a commercial pilot after. Flying with him in his own small plane are some of the fondest memories of time we spent together.

What is your favorite aircraft?
Lockheed P-38 Lightning

*Contestants may not win the first place prize more than once throughout the duration of the contest, and may only win consolation prizes once per calendar year, and winners must be print or digital subscribers of AMD. Due to the unpredictable nature of postal delivery, prizes will be determined by random drawing from all correct answers received, after a six-week waiting period from the issue’s mailing date. The first drawing will name the 1st place winner, followed by four consecutive drawings for consolation prizes.  Please send comments or feedback regarding the contest to Danny English, denglish@gie.net.
