Skydiving Angel Saves Skydiver, (Paperback)

<strong>About the Author</strong><p></p>As they say: <em> You never lose your Navy callsign.</em><p></p>I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and attended college at Valdosta State College in Georgia. Ever since I was twelve years old, I was blessed with the certainty that I was going to become a Navy pilot. My journey began at the training command in Pensacola, Florida.<p></p>Flight school, including all the academic training, was a long process that took 26 months to complete. The most memorable day was 25 February 1980, when my girlfriend, Sharon, pinned on my Navy Wings of Gold.<p></p>My first flight duty station was at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, where I flew the TA-4F Skyhawk, which was my favorite aircraft. I was later assigned to VT-10, Training Squadron 10, back in Pensacola. Our mission there was to train Naval Flight Officers, or NFOs-the back seaters like "Goose" and "Slider."<p></p>I spent the last ten years of my Navy career flying the McDonnell Douglas DC-9, which the Navy designated as the C-9. This was a reliable, 100-seat combination passenger/cargo aircraft that air crews affectionately nicknamed the Skytrain.<p></p><p></p>
