About me

edit

I was born in 2002 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. I've been an aviation enthusiast for as long as I can remember, having flown my first aircraft, an Airship Industries Skyship 600, when I was 4 years old (as unbelievable as it sounds, there is an explanation).

I started contributing to Wikipedia as an unregistered user in late 2016. I registered my account on January 5, 2017, and created my first article, VEF I-11, on February 5 of that year. In early 2019 I developed an interest in numismatics after having been a coin collector for a few years.

Aircraft I've flown

edit

Although I am not yet a pilot, I have stick time in over 30 aircraft of multiple types. Interestingly, two aircraft I've flown, N32132 and N98F, were later involved in accidents. Do what you will with that information, but I can assure you that I had nothing to do with them.
