I'm an automation design engineer. I design and build sport hovercraft as a hobby. Now my hovercraft has to share my spare time with my VX!

[spaceCADETzoom]

huh...I don't think I ever posted on this thread. I'm a commissioned officer in the US Army. I am a tank platoon leader...I own 16 of your soldiers and 4 your tanks, Mr. Joe Taxpayer...

People think Robert Duvall was merely a crazy character in Apocalypse Now...we actually ARE like that...its more tongue in cheek than nutty, I swear. Honest. I'd wear my stetson more than I do now, if it didn't get in the way.

I have heard some crazy things about flight attendants and married pilots away from home... watch out for those guys! But have you noticed yet, party-scene pilots with party pads hosting port to port parties? I know you don't drink, but it still sounds like some good times... ENJOY!

Most of the pilots are really boring! They don't want to socialize at all!!! So I am usually in my hotel room all alone...missing my VX that has to sit outside in this aweful weather in the Midwest! But stereotypes exist for a reason...so I am sure there are a few out there...

Well I have been off work for about 2 years (the car crash).
I will be soon going back to work for Symantec(Technical Accounts Manager).

[tom4bren]

Electronics Engineer for the Army for the past 24 1/2 years (now there's job security). Most of that was Night Vision equipment (AN/PAS-13 to Green Suits or Thermal Weapon Sight to CNN watchers). Now I'm working Ground Penetrating Radar for detection of landmines.

Hats off to all VX owners who are military, ex-military or DOD civilians.

I'm a product designer now, but from 21st Jan I'll be a business consultant. Don't worry, I'm not sure how to explain it either... :-)

Well......its my turn for an update. Im still in college, still working on the law juris doctorate. But...

Now instead of being in Risk Management at a large customer service call center sort of place. I am now a banker/loan advisor/mortgage broker.....Which in the end is going to about triple my income and triple my travel distance to work... This comes right in time for me consideirng I have a lot on my plate in the next few months (getting married to say the least)

So this means a few mods are to come in the future.
1. New tire rim set up.
2. Sunroof ?
3. Real tint - hate that mirror crap it came with
4. Dual muff.
5. Supercharger if avail

C-130's are turboprops, they have jets turning shafts, geared down to turn the props. Notice that even with the JATO's firing the tips of the blades were causing vorticies to form in spirals around the engines. I'd take that ride!!

Wow - I just went back and read through pages 8-14 (sorry about all you in 1-7 )

My god we are an eclectic group!

Also there seems to be a fair amount of folks from or in the military (don't know where those damn smilies are with the flags when I need 'em but ... ). (Also, please don't interpret this as any kind of political slant. I very much appreciate all our folks have to do, but hate that they have to do it.)

As for me, I'm just and investment banker in the western US.

Cheers!
