The extended career is easy to explain, Mav got off of active duty in 1992 was hired by Delta and promptly furloughed. He then got on with a fly by night cargo outfit flying mostly out of Hong Kong. During the second Gulf war he affiliated with the reserves flew G-4s for a few years waiting for the right time to come back to Delta. In 2006 with BK he gave up, went back on active duty and is now the oldest flying O-6 in the Navy at 55.

Sadly, Mav is a strong proponent of age 67 hoping to come back to Delta after he saves the world once again.
