I started my aviation career flying helicopters in the U.S. Army (UH-1H Hueys, 502d Combat Aviation Battalion, 2d Armored Division, Ft Hood Texas.), then became a Naval Aviator (P-3's out of NAS Moffett Field, California). Recently retired as a 757/767 Captain with United Air Lines after 28 years. I was based at SFO (San Francisco International Airport). I also flew the Boeing 727 and 747-400 as a First Officer, all out of SFO. Moved to San Diego for my retirement. I have a 3 year old son from my Russian wife (wife number 3--aviation is hard on marriages).
