Naval Aviation a Personal View by John Storey

About this event

Speaker: John Storey, CAA Member

John will tell us about the path to becoming a Naval Aviator -- primary flight training in the T-34C, a souped-up Bonanza, multiengine training in a King Air. Inform us about the P3 and a bit about its mission -- deployments and detachments to interesting places around the Pacific and Indian Ocean; how the platform chased submarines and contributed to the overall Navy strategy.

After earning a Computer Science degree in college, John Storey joined the US Navy where he became a Plane and Mission Commander on the Lockheed P3 Orion and deployed to interesting places like Adak, Alaska, Cubi Point, Philippines and the Persian Gulf. After departing the Navy pattern, John flew for a few years with a regional, northeastern airline in the Saab SF-340, before parking the plane for a career in the IT industry and a family.

With the kids leaving home, John decided to knock off the rust and get back to some GA flying to finish off his bucket years, and will soon be reinstating his CFI and CFII ratings, with the addition of a MEI rating ... maybe.
