Dudley...just what was your association with the school? Since
you were not a military pilot, you could not have had "Orders"
to the school. Did you perhaps "pay" your way through the course?
I seem to remember that there was such a provision at one time.
Or...perhaps you worked for a corporation under contract to the
government?

I am not a Naval Aviator. That title is reserved for the finest pilots
in the world. I'm simply a civilian pilot who happened to be a fair
stick in prop fighters given access. This access has been formed through
years of friendship and involvement with the flying military.

I flew the T38 at TPS under special arrangement by Admiral Francis
Taylor Brown and Tex Birdwell, Cmdr of the school. I have also flown at
Strike Aircraft Test Directorate at Pax as a guest of that organization.
I also narrated the demonstration of the prototype YF17 Cobra for Hank
Choteau's demonstration of the aircraft for the Navy at Pax as well as
narrating the annual Navy Air Show at Pax.

I've also flown with the Canadian Snowbirds as a guest pilot of that
organization doing an aerobatic evaluation on their Tutors.
I'm simply now and always have been a "friend" of the military and
specifically of TPS.

You know Moore, if you spent a bit less time trying to discredit me and
a bit more simply engaging me on a slightly more friendly basis, you and
I might actually get along. I have done something for you I have not
done for anyone else I've encountered on Usenet. After you requested of
me by private email some "proof" from someone other than myself who
could actually testify to my ability as a pilot, I offered to send you a
copy of the official debrief notes written by the IP assigned to fly
back seat for my T38 flights by TPS but never heard from you on that score.
You may still have access to that information if you desire.
Personally, if you desire to see this information, I will send it to you
and seek no further contact with you on these forums.
If my word on these matters isn't good enough for you to accept, I would
see no future in any further dialog with you.
You're choice; you can have the debrief notes, or you can stop this
constant under posting of me requesting backup information on me.
All the best to you,
