Hello All

I have been lurking on NAM for a few weeks, and now that I will be picking up my MINI in the next week or so then joining DCMM shortly after that I figured I would formally post something here.

I work at MOS, until April that is, in the accounting office. Although, I wander around the showroom when possible and scam my way into driving cars whenever I get the chance. My MCS should be here on friday and I am hopeing the techs will do me a foavor and get the inspectionand cleaning done on friday too so I can drive it home from work that night. And so that I will have something to contribute to the gathering on the 20th.

I guess that is it; I should see some on you on Saturday at MOS.
-Marcus

Welcome! Glad you are finally getting your car and don't have to keep driving the ones from the showroom!

Hope to get to meet you and your new baby soon!

Thanks for all the warm welcoming.

Yeah a pilot, I am actually leaving MOS in April because the FAA has offered me a position as an Air Traffic Controller at Potomac TRACON and I start training on April 16th. That is what I went to Riddle for so I am excited to get stated.

I must ask; are you a pilot too, and if yes, do you have a Spitfire?

I do not have a name for my MINI yet; I am thinking of something aeronautical though.

Congrats on the ATC position, tough job ! At some point I'm sure I'll be talking with you.....

Here's my Spitfire on final for 2-3 at FDK



She's an early Mk that flew in combat during the BOB, you can still see where the bullet holes are covered over. She's a real treat to tool around in but gosh the insurance and fuel cost suck.......

Hope by now you know I'm kidding

No PPL yet, just a wanna be, I have about 12 hours in a 172sp, 2.5 in a Stearman, 2 or so in a Citabria and just got back from England where I flew a Tiger Moth for a quick clip. I'm actually a UAV Pilot by day.......

I have a buddy who graduated there a few years back (also a UAV driver) and my best friend's son who also graduated there and is now right seat (757,I think) for JetBlue.

Cheers,

Mike
