  A lovely autumn day in Fairfax, Virginia, with DC grandkids.  dancing with grandkids at an outdoor rock concert.  A group of middle-aged men playing 80's hits led off the concert.  But they quit too soon.  And after a 30-minute wait, they were followed by a metal rock band from Germany doing great renditions of AC-DC and others.  The hilarious and wonderful surprise. It was the same group- all dressed up!  My dream gig! The next day, playing like a kid on the playground with DC grandkids

The SFTE Symposium- One Year into my term as Prez.    My message to members below.  Enlightenment. Inspiration. Innovation. Energy. Those were my key takeaways from the 56th SFTE International Symposium in Savannah. From CRM to test techniques to AI, every session reminded us how vital flight test engineers are to the safe, effective, and visionary development of aerospace systems. The speakers’ insights challenged us to keep learning, keep sharing, and keep looking out for one another in this inherently Risky Business. The SFTE  Coastal Empire Chapter  hosted an outstanding event in part to a dedicated FTE  Chaska Moon  who steered it to success despite the government shutdown challenges. Congratulations to all our  Award Recipients  – your work exemplifies SFTE’s mission to advance the art and science of flight testing.   Gradulations the newest SFTE Fellows, Paul Koks and Guy Gratton  The SFTE “tent” is expanding — welcoming...
