Jim Campbell (no relation), the publisher of Aero News. It appears that the
man is given to making outrageous claims about his accomplishments, has been
known to bill people for services they did not want, and is a frequent
visitor to the courtroom.

His usual methods of dealing with his enemies are said to be defamation and
assault, both of which are departures from the ancient Campbell way.
Campbells traditionally attack their enemies at night, burn their castles,
kill the women and children before putting their enemies' eyes out, and then
force their enemies to live in the ruins for decades without allowing them
to even change their clothes. I don't know why Jim has chosen these less
effective methods, but some few here have questioned his lineage and that
might explain it.

He's a rather entertaing fool who claims all kinds of things that can proved
wrong. His latest claim is that he was the first to spot the damage on SS1 even
though he was not in the aircraft that saw it first.

Check out www.aero-news.net

He has claimed to be a doctor, to have flown a huge number of types.
I don't recall the latest number of types, but last I heard it was on the order
of 750. He;s claimed to be a test pilot.He's been banned from Sun'n'fun for his
activities. Oodles and oodles of wild claims and lawsuits. When pressed for
proof he makes accusations and threatens law suits.

He makes Al "I invented the internet" Bore look like a novice. The only good
things zoom has done is to provide hours of entertainment and he's never run
for public office.

Thank goodness he never ran for office and he does provide entertainment to the
aviation masses who are aware of "his phoniness". But sadly he has also hurt a
great number of people financially and personally with his antics. To those
folks he's more than just a quaint buffoon. I hope he gets all he deserves.

Bet you a nickle he won't be on "any" chase planes for the next Rutan flight....
Just a hunch..

See ya

Chuck, I apologize for trivializing the fool. I know what he's done to you and
others.

By any chance do you refer to Bush v. Gore?

No, zoom's real name is Campbell and is a "reporter" for Aeronews Network. For
a brief overview see:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ousterj/zoom.html

Al Bore's name was invoked in reference to his claims of inventing the internet
etc.
