Airplanes have always been a
passion since I was a little boy. I would look in the sky
to see how many airplanes I could see. When I was 16 years old, I
learned to fly in a
BC-12D Taylorcraft. That was just the beginning. I have flown large
multi-engine
aircraft, have flown fighter aircraft and my all time favorite was as a
crop duster pilot
for 30 years. And out of all the agriculture aircraft, the Grumman
Ag-Cat was my
favorite. Me and a biplane just seem to fit together, 600 HP and two
wings just seem
to be the right combination for me, especially when I had to spend up
to 15 hrs a day
in one. I would work all day and then be choosen to do the night
spraying on seed
crops such as alfalfa which required flying after dark to protect the
bee's.

I will add more to this page as time permits.
