specifies 'jets', and 'multi-engine A/C', one might suspect he's counting
'flight' time spent in the passenger compartment of scheduled airlines.

Given a lack of type ratings, one might conclude that the claimed flight time
does not include pilot/co-pilot time in anything requiring a type rating, such
as a 'multi-engine' rating, or a 'seaplane' rating. A reasonable conclusion
would be that he was a _passenger_ in those types. Lending credence to the
suspicion in the prior paragraph.

This bio says 1100 aircraft, but his usual bio says 1100 types. He
"justifies" it by saying that a 1968 Cessna 172 is a different type
than an 1969 Cessna 172.

(Of course, I don't believe that for a moment either. His Mooney sat
on the ramp at Winterhaven with flat tires for more than 2 years.)

Maybe he counts individual flights in the same aircraft? After all,
each time he flies it is a different one as it is now 'older'.

Been out of town and the action continues:-) That's what he told me when I
questioned his claim of 1100 types.He said The 1982 Hawk is "different" from a
1992 and is a "different" plane . He loves to creat perceptions when the reality
is always something different.His claims of being a test pilot ,a HALO jumper et
al: might contain a small nugget of truth along with a ton of embellishment to
create the perception he is something he is not.

Wonder how many hours he "logged" in it during that time LOL!!
Credibility it was always about credibility.

Heck, it's got different gas in the tank, of course it's a different
airplane!!!

And he can claim a different one every time he flies as a passenger as
it is likely the 757 on this flight is different from the last flight.

Ok, I get it. In fact, I had extensive "control line" experience prior to my
actual licensing.

Gee I never thought about control line . I flew competition Combat ,Rat Race and
Carrier events for about 15 years bet I got an easy 3 - 4 thousand hours I never
counted. I still fly indoor free flight started when I was 9 so I bet there's
another 3-4 thousand hours.Then there's hand launched gliders ,RC and free
flight. I bet I got 12 -13 thousand hours and you should have seen some of the
loops rolls and spins I did with some of them. Some had a slight phugoid
tendency with a slightly damped yaw harmonic divergence and a delightful pitch
positive obedient yaw coupling. I went to the same journalistic schoo; zoom
attended. I guess I'm a test pilot as well with hundreds of test flights in new
untried designs.LOL!!!

Al,
How is anybody going to take you seriously, when you don't even have the
terminology down? That should be "fly by wire", not 'control line'. *GRIN*

Some of you may remember the exchange a month ago with Zoom and the Rocket Racing league. After commenting on Zoom's Bio, I got the following response from Sandy Davenport, the "Director of Communications"



Thank you for your concern and alerting us to possible inaccuracies. We are looking into it and will update the bio if the questionable items cannot be verified.

Well, it's been a month and I haven't heard anything, so I followed up with an email last week, asking if she had completed her investigation. I got no answer.



The Bio hasn't changed, and the "Director of Communications" isn't communicating, so I think we have our answer. I guess I have to conclude that honesty isn’t their strong suit.
