Other than flying...
Other than flying for a living, the one other interest that I have is...Storm Chasing......that's right.....chasing tornadoes.
In addition to the scientific research that can come from the data that is collected and analyzed by storm chasing, I'm pulled in by the majestic & sequential dance that funnels or tornadoes exhibit.
Any other (wannabe) or actual storm chasers out there?
I know that I'm not alone.

Haha, I like storms, however, I tend to not *chase* them..
In my off time, I work as a rampie, and as an US Army Reservist. I am a Military Police Officer and a fully accredited Paramedic. Other than that, I am professional bar hopper. and Beer chugger.

Yeah, I'm a twister-chasing wannabe...we're heading into my favorite time of year for it, too!
ATP, have you looked into weather modification? Nothing beats flying right up next to a tornadic supercell in 1000+ fpm updrafts.

I also like to head out to the Plains every May to chase storms. Even if the weather is "severe clear", I am not disappointed as I love to be on the open road. However, this spring I am staying local (Long Island) and concentrating on building my flying proficiency so that I can apply to the regionals before this hiring window of opportunity closes on me!
