....in his own words. Got it off Tomcat Territory on FB. Long video but good story...

Good video. His mention of the famous picture is at 1 hour 13 minutes...definitely not the highlight of his career.

Funny... He's sitting right beside me right now

What's the back story on his call sign? All he would say was that it didn't have anything to do with drugs and it involved a "very large woman in a foreign port"

It's a funny story, if you come down to Stuart, FL next weekend, you can ask him to tell you about it

It was a great event and thanks to Ustream, you can partake of the experience. It was worth drive into DC and time whizzed by as Snort recounted his own career in the Tomcat and subsequent airshow adventures since then. Worth listening to and seeing images he had projected on IMAX screen.

Awesome vid. Seems like a great guy.

However, he endorses a line of customized Swiss watches (SwissPL.com) that are, well, pretty much junk. Took 10 months to come in and quality far below what was advertised. Steer clear, and just get a Breitling.

This thread is reason enough to drag out the obligatory Snort model pictures...

Like marriage...lovlier the second time around. Outstanding craftmanship always bears a second look!

I've seen the model in person. It's even better in real life.

I saw the Capt. fly with the Heavy Metal Jet Team this summer at an airshow. I had no clue I was seeing this guy. Pretty cool.

Same here. I saw them a couple of months ago at a small Lancaster PA air show. At the time I knew nothing about them and I was amazed at how good they were.

Nice paint job.....

That was the air show I was at!! I'd never seen a jet team perform before that (much to my shame), but I thought it was awesome.
