Yeah, I think he's just a coincidence. This other one was involved in
some sort of kitplane scam, I beleive. He also posed as a doctor, I
think . By all accounts he is a pice of work, but the flame war that
went on around him was monumental! One of his buddies, Juan Jiminez,
still posts there and he's similarly popular with the natives.

His main claim to fame is his publishing an aviation rag, with dubious
billing advertising practices that sometimes (many times), and reviewing
planes with a good rating if they advertised with him, and the other way for
the other thing.

He also (IMHO) is a compulsive liar, with claims that he is a graduate of
Edwards test pilot school, that he has flown (what?) over 200 types, and has
looped and rolled almost all of them.

He has also had (I don't remember all of the details) a stay in a "state
institution" where all of the occupants wear white clothes, sometimes with
real long sleeves with buckles on the ends. g
