John also lists his Airline Transport Pilot Rating (ATR); and type ratings in CASA 212, CE500, CFI Instrument, Airplane MEL, SEL Commercial Privileges. TOTAL FLYING HOURS: 5700+, including F-4C, D, and E; F-105D, F, and G, and A-10A; Mirage IIIC, T-33, AT-33A, T-37A, T-39, Cessna-100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 series; Piper-140, 180, 180T, 181, 200, 200T, 201, 201T, Beech -24B,C; B-35A, H, P, BE-58, other aircraft: F-15, HH-43, UH-1, Winjeel, Macchi, and T-38. John goes on to say, I went on a two-year contract to Panama to captain CASA 212 cargo aircraft, from August 1989 to September 1991. We flew everywhere in that part of the world and Experienced Operation Just Cause first hand. It was a great experience. Since Panama I have been business partners with my son, John, building houses while working on my tax-exempt airline. A couple of months ago we sold our half of the business, sold our home, and are en route to a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) missionary school staff in Switzerland, with en route stops in Maryland for a wedding and North Carolina for a visit with the in-laws. [He also has been married over 28+ years on his out-of-date resume]. Another addition to the resume is that I have kept up with my CFI rating and will train any to fly. It is one of my joys in life and plan to continue as long as I am able. Flying is one reason for continuing to develop a Christian airline. It provides a needed service and allows one to continue to fly. Fax:/E-Mail: 75247.2162@compuserv.com
