    How did you become interested in aircraft?

    I took lessons when I was 13 at McChesny Airport in Rockford, Illinois, where the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) formerly held its conventions. I always enjoyed seeing all the aircraft come in for that event. I am currently a member of EAA Warbirds Squadron 3 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Short Tucano: It just looks menacing!
