Probably a former Civil CFI who taught Navy pilots how to fly. Go Navy. My dad was a CPO during WWII so I believe I have my right to my own opinion. Beside as a young CFI during the early 1970s, the Air Force granted our fight school, Liberty Aviation, a contract to teach a 25-hour curriculum to teach future Air Force pilots to fly from "day one". If they were graduated from our small flight school, they when on into the next level. Granted this was during the end of the Viet Nam war, which explains why even I, a 21-year-old CFI with a college degree in Business Administration, could not get a job with the airlines. I tried to join the Airforce and even had my medical examination at McGuire AFB. So nobody can say I tried to dodge the draft when was even over at the time. But I still wanted to fly for either the Navy or the Airforce. Imagine, I had a college degree, was a CFI and I couldn't even get in as a pilot because the real pilots were coming home from the Viet Nam war with no place to go. Some of them got jobs, but not many. The airlines had not yet "deregulated", so the competition to fly for the airlines was extremely fierce. Today, it's just the opposite. The airlines need pilots like crazy. But back in my time as a young CFI who was twenty-one years old, I could not find a flying job. So I went on to law school. Now I help pilots in trouble thru the AOPA insurance plan, if able. As Rod Stewart sang, "If only I was young, etc".
short? looks like a normal pattern to me
Aaah, best paintjob on that beauty
Nicely done. Probably a former Navy pilot.
