Some of you(from long before PoA was on-line) will recall that in my early student days a 16 year old right-seated for me in my Skyhawk. He was PP-ASEL before he had a car license.
He was IR at 17, graduated from high school with a 4-year AF ROTC scholarship to ERAU/Daytona. During his 3rd year at ERAU, out of 625 applicants for a future pilot's seat in the Air Force he was one of only 50 such Seniors to-be who were so named. He completed ERAU in April 2005 and after a short break was off to Moody AF Base for a year of training. Today I received a note from this terrific young man. I'm certain that y'all will get some enlightenment from looking at his website.

(In retrospect, this is a fellow who was ferrying a/c coast to coast before getting out of high school)
