Retired from USAF after 30 years. Then needing more
excitement I spent almost 4 years in Colombia working
with the Dept of State in counter-drug aviation
program. In Jan. 2002, we moved to Lima Peru and
directed the counter-drug aviation program there. Peru
was certainly a change from Colombia.
In Sept 04 we have moved to Virginia and will be
building a home near the Chesapeake. In Jan 05 I went
to Banda Aceh, Indonesia to run the United Nations
Aviation Program supporting the Tsunami emergency
relief. I return to monitor the house construction in
May. Needless to say, the lack of air conditioning in
the tents did not provide a good sleeping environment.
However, there were thousands of Indonesians that
didn't have anything so I can't really complain.
While officially one could say I have retired, I'm
still looking for
something to keep me busy and at the same time return
something to society. Best to all. Mike
