User:Blandoon

I've been informally contributing for a while, but I decided to join WikiProject Aviation and see what I can add to it. I am a (non-current) commercial and multi-engine rated pilot with instrument rating, and an all-around aviation history buff.

I also have some professional expertise in computer networking, so I may be fiddling around in that department from time to time.

(To be continued...)
