The first reasons is that my dad was an airplane mechanic. He was never in the service, but he was a civilian mechanic in war time of the 1940's. From the time I was very young I heard his stories about planes and flying. "Daddy, tell me a story!" was often met with some tale about a plane. Ironically, he didn't really like to fly. He was also licensed to teach other mechanics.
Another reason is, the technology is just so cool! I'm a closet geek (I love Popular Science....shhhhh, don't tell anyone!). Now come on, tell me this stuff isn't cool.

The "smoke angel" is caused the vortex from the engines. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Russell E. Cooley IV)Donate to Team Air Force today!

Hi, there…just wanted to let everyone know that I am donating a percentage of my book sales – through Veterans’ Day – to Project Valour-IT! Why not donate to this very worthwhile cause and read a great book at the same time? You can read a sample chapter on the “Sneak Peek” tab at www.ReportingForDoodie.com. Please help support our wounded soldiers by spreading the word! Thank you!
