Ken `Sundog' Scott
Location: Griffith, IN (N.W. Indiana about 30 miles from Chicago)

Occupation: Engineer (Aeronautical Engineer by degree..working as a M.E. for an `Inline Web Press Manufacturing' company in a Chicago suburb)

Status: Single

Interests: AVIATION!!! Give me planes! Specifically combat aircraft. I also love music with great drummers, which tends towards prog/rio type bands like King Crimson, Univers Zero, Simon Steensland and loud pop guitar bands like My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, and Smashing Pumpkins (Trans Am is a very cool band too...soo many CD's..soo little time..except for AH). I also love F1 (U.S. Grand Prix in a few weeks...woohoo!) and CART Racing.

I Love AH because: It is a great game to fly missions in. I usually don't fly one plane enough in AH because they are so well modeled I like to check them all out.

Politics: Independent

Addictions: Aces High....I can't wait for my 1.04 fix...jonesin' already.....
