For me, it would have to be my flight into Baghdad International Airport in April of 2004 on a C-130 Hercules. At that point I’d been in the military very close to 6 years, so I’d done some stuff and had knew a landing in a combat zone wasn’t going to be routine, but the plane was filled with National Guard troops…

I was just talking to my friend about the Discman back in the day that I used with one of these. It had like ‘2x’ skip protection, which basically meant ‘almost no skip protection’. I kept it in a shoebox filled with cushions that sat between the captain’s chairs of my ‘89 Dodge Caravan.

I was a casual fan until I saw my University’s Formula SAE car and thought it was amazing that I could help engineer, build, and drive an open wheel race car as part of my schooling.
