Interests

As said in the objective section, I have a passion for aviation that started when I was only a toddler. Besides the flight from here to there. I've always enjoyed building RC aircraft. You could say I have quite the collection. Sense my blood flows Avgas and Jet A, I've turned my model hobbie up a few notches. I have resently purchased plans for a small light sport kit. I'm still collecting materials for this prodject, but hope to have a flying product in the next two years. I have made some changes to the design. I've added the weight and balance specs to manage a tt-10 turbo shaft to a reduction gear to power my sport plane. Even with that said, I want the opportunity to work with the big boys of aviation. the idea of having a job, doing what i love and havent been able to tire of, is like a dream come true. Especially, with a company like American Airlines that has been apart of my life my entire life.
