Not only does he share his Commander knowledge with us, my old friend Martha Lunken mentions him in the new issue of Flying Magazine.

How nice it was of Martha to mention me in her article! I did check here out in Jim's SNJ but she is an old hand at tail draggers and it was no problem for her. She did my single engine ATP check ride in my T-6. Yup: steep turns, a precision approach, a non precision approach a loop and a roll!
Also, as to the content of the article, I could not have said it better myself. I have owned my T-6 for almost 36 years and have been flying air shows in it for 35 years. To this day I have never worn a military uniform, ever, while flying my T-6.
I was a Army Nat'l Guard helicopter crew chief (unfortunately it was in OH-13's and CH-34's yes there were Hueys too) not a military pilot. I feel it would not be appropriate for me to pass myself of as a military pilot. Even thought I over 22500 hours in everything from gliders to the Airbus I do not pretend to be one of our nations finest!
Carry on Martha!!!

Bill,Thanks for the information.
I printed it out and will take it with me next time.
I grew up in Cincinnati. My fist contact with aircraft was hanging on the fence at Lunken Airport and watching the planes land.
My time in the USMCR (non flying except for flying in the back) I was in VMR-234 that flew C-119's out of NAS Glenview.
One of our C-119's lost an engine on takeoff out of MCAS Cherry Point. He shut down one, kept it flying and was able to make it around and on the ground. He never got above 200' AGL, which is just above the trees. He was loaded, full of fuel and 20+ troops.
This is one of those events that I witnessed that make me ask lots of questions. I want to know how to do it right.
If you have one engine out for landing, do you wait on putting the gear down until short final?
