I just now looked at this thread after being on WIX for a couple years. Anyway, this is me:

I started young! Me in an HA-1112 at Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, I think it was '83.

Image

A few years later in The USAFM P-38

Image

Image

A couple years later in "Barbie III"
Image

This is the only current of me I have of myself. No airplanes in this one, but I think my sweetie Heather makes up for it!

This is me wearing my original Oberst's leather flying jacket:

This is me 30 years ago at the age of 15, in the cockpit of the Air Force Museum's Me 262, when I had hair enough not to wear hats:

Me in the cockpit of Aluminum Overcast May 16, 2007. I've dropped a few pounds since then. :D

I was SO jacked up to be in the left seat of a B-17. :supz:

Hard to believe I've never actually posted my mug on here.....especially since I've been a member pretty much forever...

No recents photos because I'm always the one taking the photos!

1993 in a RNZAF Dakota at Ardmore Airfield, New Zealand. I'm 39.

Image

Same trip to NZ. Sitting in a combat P-40 that was pulled out of PNG. Two kills by this plane. Located at Dairy Flat Airfield near Auckland.

Image

Standing next to an F-86 outside the hanger that has the P-40. Same trip.

Image

Same trip. Sitting in a T-28. Man on wing was a retired Air NZ Capt and this plane belonged to the CAF at Ardmore Airfield.

Image

1983 or so. Sitting in an Air France Concorde at JFK. Late 20s then!

Image

1985, age 30. Right seat of a Midway Airlines B-737-200 sitting on the ramp in St Croix, USVI. Getting paid peanuts and having the time of my life!

I am painfully aware that it looks like the handrail is sticking me in the neck in this photo, but my re-enacting group had our annual Christmas party 2 weeks ago and my wife surprised me by coming back from the hairdresser that afternoon in a 40s hairstyle and having bought a reproduction 40s dress! She'd never done anything like that before. This photo was taken in the lobby of a 1930 theater after the event.
15 years of marriage and she still manages to surprise me all the time (and usually pleasantly)!

Back in the the day, crewing DHC-4 Caribou aircraft - RAAF.

Image

Still flying around in the Caribou, but they belong to the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society in Australia, now...
This is me at an airshow last November, with someone's very photogenic Corsair....

Yeah and why can't pictures be on the website instead of all the dead links? I just don't get it.

Unfortunately that is because Photobucket went and screwed all it's users earlier this year.
