"THUD OUT" Hill AFB, Utah, February 24-26,
1984. I grew up on Long Island only three miles from Republic Aviation.
My dad worked for them for 33 years. I always loved it when those 105s came
over the house on final. When I heard about the retirement celebration, I just
had to go. I always liked airplanes but at the time I was into cars and car
shows so this was the first airplane event I attended and did I get hooked.
Boy, to be 35 again with a full head of hair..........

Dayton IAS, July 1994. I had never
attended this show before so I figured I'd take a
ride out, catch the show and visit the USAF
Museum again. I have a buddy, whom I met at a
Phan Con, who lives in the area so we got together.
We both had the opportunity to go up with the
U.S. ARMY Golden Knights while they did the
show opening ceremony jump. Was quite the
experience. Man it's cold at 12,500 feet with the
doors open!
I've had the opportunity to to go up with them a
number of times since.

Phan Con '95, July 13-15,
Boise, Idaho I joined the Phantom
Society in 1988. I have attended every major
Phan Con since 1989. I've met lots of great
people from all over the world who belong
to this organization and I look forward to
seeing them every year. It's a real bummer
for me when a Phan Con gets cancelled.

Sullivan Air Show & Expo,
August 7 & 8, 1993. The local
airport, Sullivan County, put on an air show
and asked me to do the photography for them.
They wanted some photos of the sky diver
that was starting the show leaving the
airplane and some aerial photos of the field.
Since I was riding in a Cessna 172 with the
right door and seat removed, I was required
to wear a parachute. Was quite exciting
sitting backwards, on the floor, shooting
photos out of an airplane with no door on it.
