Good evening to you all, FighterSweep Fans!! I am Ewen Menzies, a husband, father, and maintenance trainer in the United Kingdom. A big “thank you” is due to the team at Force 12 Media for affording me the opportunity to share with you my experiences in the world of aviation.
I come from a family with the tradition of service in the Royal Navy, which has left me with a passion for military aviation since childhood. I, as I am sure many of you did, burnt out my first copy of Top Gun! I remember my father taking me to my first airshow and I stared in wondered at the high-powered jets wheeling overhead.
From that moment on I was hooked! Done for. I had been bitten by the bug and, as we all know, there is no getting rid of it. I spent the rest of my childhood with my nose either pressed against an airport security fence or stuck in an aviation-themed book. Strangely, for a Brit, I had a particular interest in U.S. Naval Aviation.
