Howdy, I’m Jason. I’m the quintessential “IT goon with an aviation habit”, primarily flying DA40-180s and DA20-C1s here in the Midwest. I also have some logged OH-58A/C dual time from when I was in the Army. ---

Hi, everyone. I’m Kathy and I am not a pilot. I am an engineer working in the Aerospace & Defense industry and I love Pilot Debrief because Hoover’s template for after action reviews is a perfect model for my industry, or any time you make a plan and want to see how it went. I am a licensed sUAV pilot, so there is that. But for the most part, I am a ground person after years of traveling for work and just really love Hoover’s wisdom and the way he shares it. ---

Hello, I’m Kevin a retired IT guy just getting started on my second career, one I dreamed of my whole life. Just got a job flying Beechjets! I’ve had a pilots license for 40 years but just in the last 2-1/2 years got the rest of my ratings. I also fly a Champ and a Cherokee. Great to meet you all. Are you going to be at OSH again this year Hoover? I’m heading up there tomorrow. Annual rendezvous at aviation nirvana! ---

Richard here, in WA. I’m a 320 hour Rusty Pilot returning to active flying after 18 years. Even when I wasn’t flying, I was still following Hoover’s Debriefs and the like on FB and Youtube. Retired now, so I have lots of time to fly again. ---

Hello. I’m Greg and I have an ASEL PPL and an A&P(inactive). I got my PPL in 1992 in Rome, Ga and my A&P in 1993. After a an almost 25 year break I started flying again out of CHA. It took abit to shake of the rust but I’ve started my instrument training again and am working toward being Mission Pilot for the Civil Air Patrol. I’m sure there are lots of stories to be share and lessons to be learned so I’m looking forward interacting with everyone here. ![IMG_4870](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex056/uploads/pilotdebrief/original/1X/f3591f4e5b60292e3a7a6136b9b50147e85546ab.jpeg) [Next page](https://community.pilotdebrief.com/t/introduce-yourself-reply-to-this/25.md?page=2)
