Experienced Private Pilot highly proficient in complex and high-performance aircraft (Piper Turbo Arrow III, Lancair) with direct expertise in systems analogous to the Shark, including retractable gear, constant-speed props, and advanced HOTAS-style controls. This aviation background is combined with extensive military experience as a US Navy Avionics and Communications Specialist (SECRET Clearance) maintaining electronic warfare (EW) systems on E-2 and S-3 aircraft.
