Aircraft Mechanic for the Oregon Air National Guard here in Portland, Oregon. This was a local news spot for our Oregonian paper and website.It looks like the press stole a quick shot of me while I was working under the jet. Somebody told me they thought they saw me in the newspaper, after the story about our scrambled F-15's rushing w/full afterburners to Seattle to find out what that float plane was doing in restricted air-space during Obama's visit on Tuesday. THAT story [HERE] made national headlines, of course, but sadly... my aircraft repairing skills were probably viewed by....the editors at the Oregonian (and my mom!)! ha ha

For those of you fellow PC gamers, if you're jonesing for a sweet new update of an awesome Flight Sim with plenty of military Jets to curb your need for speed, check out the recently released Lock On Platinum
. I highly recommend it, as it's brought to you by the same people who created the amazing DCS: BlackShark 
KA-50 helicopter simulator, with a equally comprehensive A-10 simulation in the works as we speak. Ooooh baby, I can't wait to fire off those virtual rounds in that jets horrendous AN/GAU-8a 30mm Avenger seven-barrel gatling gun!
Check me out ma, i'm famous! (I'm at the 1:57sec mark in the video, bottom left dude under the plane)
