If I wasn't so fascinated and entertained by the emotional roller
coaster I was listening to, I would have hung up sooner.

A great deal of this inane conversation was about his
self-identification as a test pilot. He rationalized that since he was
evaluating a bunch of planes for his magazine and took a class, he was a
test pilot.

I explained that he has a right to see himself that way, but he should
expect some scrutiny. I told him that it wouldn't pass the "sniff
test" if you tried to get a panel of real test pilots to accept his
definition.

That has to do with his mixing perception and reality. He creates the
"perception" that he is a "test Pilot" and most people will take him at face
value and believe it. But if you check his credentials the "reality" is
something else. He is trying to imply that he is an accredited ,engineered Test
Pilot something which he is not. Doing pilot reports on certificated airplanes
and a week in a school do not qualify for as a Test pilot ...except maybe in
zooms and jauns wierd world.

I can say I got a lot of jet time...yeah in row 23E .But he'll throw out
comments like that ,again implying that he was PIC of a number of jets like
"I've got some F-16 time" Right in the back seat of an ANG jet getting a ride.
It was just that kind of stuff he was trying to pass on the the English magazine
that is dishonest. But jaun believes it LOL!!

His thoughts about you and your aircraft were just as bizarre.


Well we all know that :-)


He was disappointed that I had never met anybody on RAH, as it didn't
fit his conspiracy theory or evil influence theory.


True enough I didn't know of you until after you joined the I've been zoom and
survived gaggle and a proud gaggle we are.Why the list of the zoomed is long and
illistrious and contains a who's who of general aviation .Our motto "the Proud
,the many the zoomed" is as revelent now as it was 5 -10 years ago.


It was indeed a pleasure when I met you during your presentation in
Lexington, Kentucky. The room was packed and a number of people drove
quite a distance to hear you speak. I've never heard anyone speak an
ill word of you, Chuck, but that might indicate that the conspiracy
knows no ends.

Boy now you did it!!LOL!! It just happens that I'm heading to Lexington KY this
week end to talk at the BUG Safety Seminar.During the day I'm doing a talk on
designing for crashworthiness. Later I'll be the after dinner speaker talking
about my adventures as an Ultralight Pioneer.All true stories as I'll have video
to back it up LOL!!! Yup it's a conspiracy all right :-)

See ya

"if I wrote it I did it"............was what zoom told me after I said he didn't
loop,roll and spin a Hawk during his flight review in 1983 at Geauga County
Airport.This was told to me in my booth at SnF shortly before he was kicked out
of SnF for causing trouble....
