How long have you been in the aerospace business? 29 years as a manufacturing engineer.

How did you become interested in aircraft?

My father was in the United States Air Force, and that may have been the beginning of my love of airplanes.

What is your favorite aircraft and why?

I like the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird for its amazing engineering and incredible performance and the old Douglas C-124 “Old Shaky” Globemaster II cargo aircraft for its relative simplicity and workhorse life.
