Grew up in Northern Minnesota. Flew the bush in sea planes on fishing and moose hunting trips to Canada. Did pilot training for US Air Force in Selma Alabama. Flew for Braniff for 23 years out of Dallas Texas.
Flew for Ansett Australia for 13 years out of Melbourne. Both airlines folded due to bankruptcy. Retired to the sweet life in Hervey Bay to get out from under "Black Clouds"!
