    Hello everyone,

    Hi. My name is Tim, and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I served in the USAF for 14.5 years, and outside of the U.S. was stationed in Iceland and Germany. I worked on the avionics systems on the F-106 and F-15.

    My interests are firearms, knives, flashlights, motorcycles, wargames, and history. As a young kid I remember coming back from the library with a stack of books, mostly about WWII, but a few about WWI, Korea, & Vietnam.

    I suppose my interest in WWII was sparked by hearing my Father's war stories. He served as a motor messenger...landed with his Jeep on Normandy on D-Day, traveled all over France, Germany and Belgium, was in Bastogne at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge, etc.

    Anyway, I just found this forum, and thought I'd see what information could be found here. I'm quite interested in small arms, capital ships, and combat aircraft.

    Tim

    Hi Tim. I myself was in the USAF (1999-2005) and stationed in Germany. I live in Peoria, Arizona. It's a suburb of Phoenix, as I'm sure you are aware.
