I happened to be working at the airport when this picture was taken. Did a job for Lifeflight in Pearland this day.

Holy cow, I step away from the computer for a day to bang some sheet metal down at the local CAF hangar and this thread goes crazy!

Just another airline puke here, 737 capt based in Houston. Here's me being goofy monkeying around with my new iPhone enroute to Vancouver... it's not nearly as cool as Milton's cube with his red Swingline stapler.

I help keep the pointy end forward on this and a few other things you won't see for a while.



In another life I helped demonstrate what happened when the pointy end no longer went forwards on high-performance tactical aircraft. Also a self-propelled ballast unit

My day job mostly happens at night! This is a shot from a few years back from the high stress seats at Carnegie Hall looking out into the audience about 1/2 hour before the concert.




I'm Assistant Concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony and am also Concertmaster of Marin Symphony, Sun Valley Summer Symphony (Idaho) and Skywalker Symphony (Gearge Lucas' studio in Marin).

The violin in the picture was donated to the SFS for my exclusive use while I remain a member of the orchestra. It is a Stradivarius from the year 1700.

What am I most excited about now? Two days ago I flew my RV7A down to the paint shop!!!!! In 6 or so weeks it will be done! (ish)

I'm an aerospace aerospace engineer. I used to work with unmanned air vehicles and now I spend most of my time playing with airplanes and motorcycles. We make cargo pods, motorcycle carriers, sensor pods and custom engineering projects.

Seems that the classical musicians are a minority here!
My daytime job is playing and teaching oboe and english horn in The Netherlands. Much like Jeremy mostly in the afternoons and evenings. Gave me an excellent opportunity to build in the mornings.

Default Great thread!

And let me add my thanks to all of you who are in (or retired from) service to this great country, my great regret is not having the smarts to join up when I was a kid back in the seventies. I know I missed out on flying some great birds.

And great to see more musicians, I am but a lowly bluegrass musician, but I bet that Strad would sound good on some old Appalachian fiddle tunes!
