Look to my "about me" page and understand why I like copters. The rest of the story is also there, but does not explain why I would do such a crazy thing. Just being me, "All the Way - Everyday!"

12 years Royal Air Force, LTechAD, (radar technician) I was asked to stay on for another 10 years (the qualification for that being they expected you to be promoted at least twice more). But then medically down graded I'm allergic to Anaesthetics ! ( Susceptible to Malignant Hyperpyrexia under Anaesthesia) This was discovered during an operation between being asked and the actual re-sign on date and so I had to leave.

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

I was in the Air Force from 1975 thru 1984 and was stationed at Williams AFB in Arizona, Kitzingen Army Airfield in Germany, Fort Polk, Louisiana and Tinker Field in Oklahoma. My field was weather, which I am still interested in. The Air Force was a great time of growth in my life, and no regrets having served even though there were no wars during the time I was in. The best of all was that one colonel who shared Christ with me which changed my life forever. This was all wayyyyy before I ever dreamed of trying on a kilt. Well, maybe I thought about it once in a blue moon, since I do have Scottish heritage. But I found the one group that really has deep respect for veterans are Native Americans. Often when I have attended a Native get together, they honor veterans by having us stand. Cool. Anyhow, great to meet another ex military kilter.
