    I do Non-Destructive Inspection on Fighters. I also run the Marksmanship program for the unit that flies those fighters, or what there is of one with our ops tempo being what it is the last couple years. I help my wife and M-I-L with their two stores (maintenance and such). And to use up the rest of that pesky free time between jobs and sleeping, I'm running a Bullseye Pistol league for a local gun club. Anyone want to shoot some Bullseye? Let me know. Oh, yeah, and I have two small economic liabilities, uh, I mean, children. I'm confident they count as at least a part time job!

    I know a couple of other pilot types other than Sniper7 (I think) who are good shots as well. One of them is with United, the other is fairly high up the food chain at Frontier, or he was before the Republic buyout...not sure now.
    Oh-oh... could I get a flight in a fighter? Lol, when my dad was still active he took me up in an Apache... talk about poopin the pants. Brother got the Abrams ride though... Still think I won with the whirlybird, lol. A jet I think would be a blast!

    Tell me more about the pistol league. I have a few that haven't had time to see the range in about a month.

    My wife's been trying for a ride since she was my girlfriend. I did manage to get her hooked up with a tanker ride, and into the cockpit on takeoff. That, I'm afraid, will have to do her. We don't even get rides anymore, unless of course you're one of the, uh, "favored few", shall we say? Or some sort of high powered civilian, politician, sports figure, you know.

    I did manage to get my ride some time ago. Did some low level from Ft Collins north, then some aerobatics around the NE part of the state. Did everything I could, managed to pull the 9G's with my own hand. The little ridges up through the mountains look a little different when you're upside down at 500 feet, too. (the pilot claimed we were at 500 feet. The altimeter told a different story...) That, and hitting a Grand Slam while sportfishing with two good friends in Hawaii, are probably the two most fun things I've ever done. At least, with my clothes on...

    I'll PM you about the league.

    I'm a job foreman for a small company that does commercial HVAC controls. I think we're just about the only company around that has more work than we know what to do with.
