Mesquite Beetle

My Early BeginningsI'm also retired from the USAF, flew F-4s (the reason I go by "Beetle"). My USAF background includes Tactical Reconnaissance in the RF4C, Operational Flight Test, Automated Mission Planning Development, and C2 Battle Management. I am now fully retired and can focus on my many hobbies.
Wood Turning Mentor and InspirationI'd longed to start wood turning but it was a close friend from my Air Force RF-4C Recce days that set my passion in gear 6 years ago. Ric Erkes, an RF-4C, F15 and Jet Blue pilot has been wood turning for over 30 years. I enjoy his work ( itsricsturn.com ) and appreciate him taking me "under his wing". I can't thank him enough for his time, talent, and inspiration.
