More Awesome Utah – Images From My Visit – June 2011

Folks, I’ve been remiss for failing to post these pics much sooner than this.  Between a busted computer along with life and motorcycle riding I’ve just been caught up in all sorts of stuff   I didn’t take the motorcycle on this trip for a few reasons like incredible heat, massive wind, and the fact [...]

Prior Planning Prevents…

Now, I’m not the world’s greatest planner – I’ll say that right out front.  But then again, nobody ever gave me the responsibility of developing a new fighter/attack jet for the USAF, USMC, USN, and several other nations.  Right now, I’ll bet the U.S. Navy is wishing they’d done a bit more planning when it [...]
