Bill is constantly analyzing procedures and equipment, comparing the current to innovations. This habit served him well as a flight engineer in the Air Force Reserve, from which he recently retired after 20 years of service. He was also named Outstanding Airman of the Year for the Air Force Reserve Command. That was his part-time job; his full-time job was in healthcare marketing. He holds FAA ratings as a flight engineer and civilian pilot.
Not only does Bill drive the Air Force Reserve Jet Car, he also drives the nearly eighty-foot long tractor trailer that carried the car and its support vehicle from air show to air show. Bill and his wife and four children live in Castle Rock, Washington.
When you meet Scott, you are impressed by his smile and his quiet dignity. Absolutely nothing about him would suggest he loves to sit on a jet engine and speed down a runway at 400 miles per hour. But, that is exactly what he does and has been doing for 26 years. Scott is the designer of the Jet Car, the first act of its kind on the air show circuit.
A native of Illinois, Scott has always liked racing, especially drag racing. After serving in Vietnam, he moved to California to persue the sport on a full-time basis. He got the idea of developing the car, figuring that after the initial investment, the up keep would be far less than piston driven cars. Having always loved airplanes, Scott saw air shows as a natural fit for the Jet Car, and he was right.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
