I cruised on the Big E during the '85 round the world cruise.* VS-21 my call sign was Raven. We actually have quite a few guys at Delta that were in the airwing during that time.* What are you doing now?

I did the '86 and '88 cruises...
I knew a lot of S-3 guys (surfers)
And a # of BlackLions are also Delta.
Undergrad in 1983 at Keesler AFB MS. Graduate degree came out of Ramstein AFB GE in 1990. Didn't have the opportunity to go to DAB or Prescott.... which is where I'll guess you graduated from....
I work at a company that makes UAV's and our pilots are in a little control station on a military base. I'm sure that is not what they want to do, but at least they can't get shot down.
Okay here's a quick joke.. :smile:
Q.) How do you know when a Pilot is in the room?
A.) He tells you

Got my PPL SEL in November last year. Have a little over 100 hours PIC in mostlly C172's.
Yes, I graduated from DAB in 2002. It had its upsides but many distractions as well.
Good school nonetheless. Aviation certainly is a passion of mine and I'm glad to see fellow NSXer' s in the field.
I build and fly experimental aircraft. My 9th and 10th plane I currently own are a Baby Ace and a Firebolt. The Firebolt was reserve grand champion at Oshkosh in 2008. (google N4GW)
Nothing better than driving my recently aquired 2001 NSX to the airport and then climbing into the Firebolt behind a fuel injected 540 cubic inch fire breather doing rolls and strafing runs at 200 MPH then getting back in the NSX for more thrills on the way back home

I have a 150 with an inop autopilot and an ADF.

Did you buy it buit or build it yourself? Looks beautiful in green and white with the yellow accent. Do you fly it competitively or "just" for fun. How much did it cost all told? I may want to pick one up myself... looks pretty sharp. Tell us more about it!
Just starting aviation w/ 10 hours in the DA-40 but heading to undergraduate pilot training for the air force.
Took me 24 years to get my private (16 - 40)
200+ hrs C-172, I wasn't flying enough to feel competent so I let the medical expire a few years ago so I wouldn't be tempted to be a menace/statistic

I built the Firebolt along with George Wheeler who tought me how to build airplanes. The plane took 7000 hours over a 14 year period and $135K to build it. It was scratch built from blueprints. Sadly, George passed away from a battle with cancer two years before it was completed. It is my tenth airplane and the third I built. I do not compete with the Firebolt in aerobatic competitions but I do show the plane at air shows and fly-ins. It got second place at Oshkosh Wi. fly-in (The largest experimental aircraft show in the world) for craftmanship in the plans built catagory. It should have been first in my completely biased openion. It is powered by a Lycoming 540 Cu. In. fuel injected engine turning a Hartzell constant speed prop.
For those not familiar with these engines it is a 6 cylinder with a bore of 5 1/4" and 90 Cu.In. per cylinder. (Can you spell TORQUE)
Google search N4GW for a better picture.
I am new to Prime and if I can figure out how to post pictures I will do so. I have some good ones with the NSX next to it.

yeah, experimental LOL... The T-38 has been my dream aircraft since birth. I think it would be great to get a couple of them and dogfight. I may need a higher tax bracket for that thoughThis is by far the coolest EXP aircraft. The guy, whoever he is, flies into san antonio a lot. Always try to give him an overhead pattern over the tower while departing airliners under him. It's a cool sight.
Where at? I'm at ASBC right now and will be in Laughlin by 24 May. IFS and UPT dates coming soon.
I've got about 40 hours PIC in 172s, but it's been years.
