Hi. New member here. Ross Detwiler. Retired corporate pilot, retired Air National Guard pilot(C-5's) and former AF fighter pilot-two Vietnam tours (f-100 and F4's).I am also a writer for "Business and Commercial Aviation" Magazine. Only Beech experience is about 100 hrs in Aero Club T-34's and about 20 hrs. Ferrying a V35B. I have loved Beech products ever since being a line boy and watching Perfect Circle's "huge" D-18 come in and out of Somerset Airport in the 50's and 60's. Not sure whether I will purchase or help others purchase Beech products. If you care for more information check below

Ross,

Welcome to BeechTalk. We have a fair number of former military pilots, even some from Vietnam.

Welcome aboard! Those T-34's weren't at the Tinker AFB aero club were they?

No, Jack. The t-34's were at the Air Force Academy, Griffiss AFB and Edwards AFB. One of them 8381H was later fixed up to be an award winning T34 Ross

A Pitts is another dream I've had for a long time. Hope to fly one through teaching others. Check the website at your convenience.

I was in the Navy with a Greg "Dirt" Detwiler- I think he was from central Fl. Now flies for Fedex out of Hong Kong. Wasn't sure if you were related...
