Expertise

I can answer many types of questions on military and civil aviation, and aviation/aerospace history.

Experience in the area

I am a Second Lieutenant in Civil Air Patrol, and run a military aviation website .

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

It had been my dream since I was 3 to fly military jets, but a back injury put an end to those dreams. Though I'll naver fly for the military, I can still teach about their aircraft, and maybe encourage somebody else to reach for the sky. Currently, I am a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University, majoring in communication and criminal justice.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

People as far back as Leonardo da Vinci had designs for aircraft. In fact, in 2003, when some of his designs were tested, they actually flew!

Thanks for using askanexpert. First, only the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard deploy on ships. So if you don't like the idea of shipboard life, you might want to steer away from those. Second, in

Embry Riddle is widely regarded as one of the top aviation schools in the world that is not a military academy. In all honesty, I do not have any information about how the job outlook is for pilots.

2007-03-29 Degree to take in College:

In all honesty, what degree you pursue shouldn't matter. I know people who are in pilot training who have degrees in everything from criminal justice, to history, to aerospace engineering. What will

2007-01-19 F18_Super Hornet:

This is really an opinion question. The F-14, in my opinion is the finest figher that the US military has ever had. The big selling point of the F-18 is its ability to do air-to-air and air-to-ground
