Squadron Nostalgia LLC
Who is behind this company?
After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2000, I served as a Naval Aviator. I spent ten years on active duty as a pilot of the Lockheed P-3 Orion, an anti-submarine and maritime patrol aircraft and an instructor pilot on the Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor. Following a tour at the Pentagon, I left active duty and joined the Reserves where I continue to serve. My 24 years of service has taken me to many places around the world.The privilege of being allowed to fly a military aircraft is something unique and cherished. I felt that many families would want to be able to enjoy a model that their family members flew also. Over the years, I wanted to honor the ships and submarines that also provide that.
