When you are an Air Force brat you have inspiration all around you in the various people that you come in contact with on base.
I remember being at Lackland as a kid and a MATS plane with no wings on it was parked across the road from the runway , anyone remember this ?
Anyway my main inspiration came from my grandfather who served in the Navy as a pilot and he would tell me stories of flying the Hellcat and Dauntless
and what great planes they were at the time.
