I've been flying since I was 16 years old. I flew Hueys in Nam, and Chinooks in the Reserve. I Have a Masters in Education. I spent 20 years in Law Enforcement, and for the last 6 years I have been teaching History in high schools. I'am a single parent with a 14 year old daughter.
I've been studying WW1 aviation since I was in grade school. I love it more now then I even did then.

I'am a junior in high school. I got interested in WW1 aviation from Richard Schrader, one of my teachers. I'am a junior varsity cheerleader at our school. I would like to pursue a career in military aviation, but as I'am only 5'1'' and 90 lbs., I might be too little to be accepted.

Hey Kid,
Put on about 10 pounds then try to go for helos. It's your dream, the only one that can stop you is you. Go for it kid...and never look back.

Jim,
Ni hea, ni Éireannach mé.
"No, I'm not Irish."
Tá brón orm.
"Sorry."
I've been able to pick up a few useless Gaelic phrases here and there, mostly due to a friendship with a young Irish law student who's a lot like our Jeni.
Slan (bye).

G'day Chris,
I am a proud Aussie who's three great claims to life are as follows:
1.Being smart enough to marry my beautiful wife before she knew I was a lunatic.I love you Donna
2.Being the father to the most beautiful baby girl on earth. I love you Jacqueline
3.Founder and president of the first History and Red Wine Club, all you need is a little knowledge and a good bottle of red wine, and a glass to drink it with to join.

I also teach part time and work as a customer relations officer.

You cannot find any more info to me on the internet, but I am willing to let someone open the first history and red wine club overseas, what a thought, history and wine clubs the world wide.....

Chris:

I was born at the age of 3 in a log cabin that I helped my father build......

Seriously, though. I am 48 years old and have a Masters Degree in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences. Although I began my career in the aerospace industry, for the past 20 years I've worked in commercial nuclear power and hold a P.E. license in Mechanical Engineering.

I'm a full-time husband (20+ years)and the father of a beautiful (and smart) 13 year-old figure skater.

In my spare time (when I'm not visiting the Aerodrome Forum), I collect old books. I have a 3000 book library, of which some 1500 are on WW1 and earlier aviation.

VBR,

Ira

Scott--we know you're out there somewhere! This would be a good opportunity for us Forumites to learn how you conceived the site. We all owe you a dip of the wing in salute...

Corrosponded with about 50 WWI pilots before they all up and died on me. Studied it for 20+ years. Just educated enough to be really dumb.
