Not much to say about me. I am a local tractor trailer driver in the Richmond,Va. area. Born in '56 so I have some grey hair’s. When I was younger my parent’s sent me to school in England so I got to fly a lot. Mostly from Dulles to Heathrow.

My very first flight was from Boston to Madrid then I transferred to another plane and flew to Gibraltar. Wow! I thought we were going to land in the water.

That is what really sparked my interest in flying. I loved those big jets and especially the friendly Stewardess’ and at 10 years old flying alone I felt like James Bond!

Later in life I went to work for a tire company and one of the mechanics was also an AP mechanic and an flight instructor. Well needless to say we became friends and I was able to go to the airport and hang out some and I actually have 10 hours of flying time in an old Cessna 172. But unfortunately he passed away from cancer and I never had the opportunity to finish my training and get my license. Money was tight and I had lost a good friend.

Then love and marriage comes along (twice) and three great kids and as of now seven grand kids later at least I can fly on my PC( When I don’t have Honey Do’s).

Oh yeah I had been in several local blues bands, I play harmonica and guitar. I love fishing when it’s not too hot or too cold. Cooking and Grilling is always a good thing and I have built two computers from scratch and don’t know what I’m doing. Don’t know how they work but here I am writing a bio on one.

So that’s about it about me.

Like they say “Keep the Blue side Up” and be safe out there.
