How long have you been in the aerospace business?Approximately 15 years.
How did you become interested in aircraft? When I was a child, my father spoke about the helicopters he flew on in Vietnam, especially the Bell AH-1 Cobra. This started a passion for all aircraft.
What is your favorite aircraft and why? The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) would be at the top of my list. This aircraft’s survivability and longevity are amazing.
