"FRIEND!"

About Me

I am enlisted in the 501st Legion; Dune Sea Garrison as SL/BH/TD/IG-8759. I am known to most people as "Aviator Vader," "Jimmy BufFETT," and/or "Bear In The Air." I usually am one of 6 people depending on the occasion. I could be:
Darth Vader:


Boba Fett:


Jango Fett:


A Sandtrooper:


An Imperial Death Star Gunner:


Outside of the costuming / Star Wars world, I am a commercial pilot training to become an airline pilot:

Yeah, that's what the man behind the mask looks like. However, if it weren't socially unacceptable and/or illegal in some cases, I would wear a mask the whole time I was in public!

My Top 10 Jeff Foxworthy "you might be a redneck jokes:"

You might be a redneck if:

1. You've ever emptied the bed of your pickup truck by driving backwards really fast and slammin' on the brakes!

2. You think that "Silence of the Lambs" is what happens when Larry (the Cable Guy) walks out to the barn.

3. Somebody yells "do the Hoe-Down" and you throw your girlfriend on the floor.

4. Somebody tells you you've got something in your teeth, and you take them out to see what it is.

5. Your mother can tell a state trooper to kiss her ass without takin' the Marlboro out of her mouth.

6. You think that fast food is hitting a deer at 65 mph.

7. If somebody asks to see your identification and you show him your belt buckle.

8. You've ever stared at a can of orange juice because it said 'concentrate.'

9. You have a complete set of salad bowls and the all say 'Cool Whip' on the side.

10. You work without a shirt on and so does your husband.


I frequently take road trips. The longest road trip I've driven solo was from Dartmouth, MA to Apache Junction, AZ (2,800 miles!) Since August '04, I have driven over 125,000 miles!
I've encountered some severe weather along my travels:


I have been to and driven over the Hoover Dam:


I have been to the Grand Canyon:


I have driven where the speed limit is the highest in the country ... Portions of I-10 and I-20 in Texas are 80 mph:


I have driven the entire length of the longest single-state interstate in the USA. I-10 runs for 881 miles in Texas:
I've been on the highest paved road in the USA. There is a paved road that climbs all the way to the top of Mount Evans, CO. Elevation: 14,264 feet above sea level!


I've been to the largest McDonald's in the world! It's located in Vinita, OK, and it's a service station on the Will Rogers Turnpike (I-44.)

I'd like to meet:

Any member of the 501st Legion, TDH members, and any of y'all who fly. I think just about every person in these categories has been the type of friend I've really wanted to have. I'd like to meet more of y'all either on MySpace, in person, or both.

I'll say it here: I am using MySpace pretty much to meet fellow 501st, TDH members, and pilots. If you do not fall into any category, and I do not know you (meaning we have not met in person), I will most likely refuse to add you UNLESS you take the time and send me a message first.
