Grandfather served stateside in Navy during WWII, and later became President of parent company of commuter airline I worked for, he also designed the oversize cargo doors you see on DC-2's(C46). Spent 5 years working for that small commuter airline in AK, 3 1/2 as mechanic helper(enough to get A&P but never took tests
) the rest as purchasing agent/warehouse manager. Started PPL lessons in Dec. '90, got ticket in Sept. '91. While working and living in Kodiak for the same commuter, I was able to recieve free float instruction from our chief floatpilot the summer of '92. Have wrenched on C172RG, C185, C207, C208, C441, Turbo Beavers, Twin Otters, Beech 1900's, Dash 7, Dash 8, and C-130's(civillian stretch model, can't remember designation, L-1011?). Also have stick time in some of them, the 207, 208 on amphib floats and wheels, and the Turbo Beavers on amphib floats, including Alaska Magnum Beaver(Family freind owns design). We also(Markair Express) had Wipline design and install the only set of amphib floats at the time for one of our Twin Otters! What a beast!

Jack of all trades, Master of none, full time student of life.
