Bob's Vintage Cars

About Bob

I grew up in Camp Hill, PA and went to Shippensburg State College for a degree in Physics.  After college I joined the US Air Force as a KC-135 tanker navigator.  Then after a short stint with the FAA as a NY Oceanic air traffic controller I returned home to central pennsylvania to become a quartz crystal resonator engineer.  I also joined the PA Air National Guard as an EC-130E navigator.

I retired from the Pennsylvania Air National Guard after 32 years of military service as a KC-135 Instructor Navigator, EC-130E Evaluator Navigator, and the very first EC-130J Flight Systems Officer (FSO) and Evaluator.  Since the new Air Force Combat Systems Officer (CSO) school has opened, to replace the USAF Navigator training school, the FSO name has changed to CSO.

During my 8 year active duty career  I was stations at:  Lackland AFB, TX - Lowry AFB, CO - Loring AFB, ME - Lackland AFB, TX again - Mather AFB, CA - Castle AFB, CA - Pease AFB, NH - and Fairchild AFB, WA. 

During my Air Guard career I flew combat missions in the following major military operations as an EC-130E Navigator:  Operation Just Cause, Panama - Desert Shield / Desert Storm - Operations Sea Signal / Uphold Democracy, Haiti - Operation Joint Endeavor / Joint Guard, Bosnia - Operation Desert Thunder, Kuwait - Operation Allied Force, Kosovo - and Operation Enduring Freedom, Afganistan. 

I also designed our house shown on the home page.  My wife and I also installed the flooring, entire kitchen, three bathrooms, fiber cement siding, and other items when the house was built in 2004.  

In 2015 I built a yogo studio for my wife above the garage to include doing all electrical work, insulation, drywall hanging and taping, installing a cherry hardwood floor, building and installing two small stair cases, and all banisters and railings.

Favorite music:  

Not a fan of Country, Western or both.  

I can not stand it when they play music at vintage car shows, no matter what type it is.
