I'm supposed to be retired.
First I retired from the Air Force (A-7, F-4, F-105, F-16) then from USAirways. Then I got a job with a part 135 outfit and my boss picks up every odd ball contract he can find. We do wildfire suppression missions (Air Attack) for the US Forest Service, marine mammal surveys (whale hunting), air sample missions for NOAA, forest surveys for USFS, radar calibration missions for the Navy, and many others.
Here's our primary mount, the old Cessna 337, Skymaster with a camera mounted on the left side. This was part of a test program to see if marine mammals and birds could be surveyed by digital photographic means.
This is the LCS (littoral combat ship) Independence, a prototype of a navy vessel that is designed to go after drug runners and pirates, among other stuff. We usually use three airplanes to "attack" from various angles and altitudes to calibrate the ship's radar.
The LCS uses laser rangefinders so we have to wear special laser goggles to protect our eyes when we "attack" the ship.
So now that I'm "retired" I have two jobs! The second one really isn't a job, it's a lot of work and even more fun. I fly with Alpha flight on Team RV. That's me with the invasion stripes. (And that's Widget on the opposite wing. He flies for the same 135 outfit. Close formation in C-337's isn't as much fun as in the RV-8.)
