Hello, my name is Jack Stovall. I started flying when in ROTC at the University of Oklahoma in 1970. I flew as a t-38 instructor pilot for 6 years then went with Delta for the next 26 years until my early retirement in 2004. I presently own a 1970 BE55E and a Pitts S-1S. Here are some pictures:

Welcome Jack....you must always be flying because I don't recognize either of those planes from GTU.....I guess that really means I need to be flying more!

Welcome Jack, nice to see another E55 Baron owner join our group. Do you have
IO-520CB's or IO-550C's on your baron. My baron is posted on page 52. San Antonio is one of my favorite cities in the U.S. I'll be going there fairly soon. You have any recommendations for a good FBO in the area. :cheers:

I'm in the blue hex hangars on the right as you drive toward the terminal. Are you in the newer T hangars up by Pilot's Choice?

LOVELY Jack, tell me more about flying that Pitts please.

The Pitts is a lot of fun and helps me experience the kind of flying I used to do in the Air Force. The local aerobatic club is the source of most of my best friends. The funny thing is that most of them fly Beech products too!

Hey guys and gals. I keep seeing that A-10 Flying Tiger nose - brings back fond memories. I was 70th person to fly A-10, 12th wth 1000 hrs and 1st to shoot 100,000 rds. I was an IP at DM in TUS and then operational test in Las Vegas. Later Squadron CC in AK (where we owned a PA-22/20). Also flew A-7, A-37, AT-38, AT-33, UC-123K (Ranchand spraying agent orange) and a few hrs in F-16 and F-100. Retired USAF in 1988. Flew CRJs at ACA/Independence Air, G-200 &G-IV for NetJets. Just retired in Jul 09 and "needed" a plane. Found a 1957 35H (N371B) and my wife & I enjoy it a great deal. Based at IXA in NC. Hopefully be able to attach a pic?? Nope, wouldn't copy/paste. Sorry, guess you'll just have to come see it. Went thru BPPP in TUS before flying back to NC. What a great program. Took a dumb %#$@ like me and made me semi-confident and safer. Thanks.
