Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.

I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years.

I'm another Boeing-ite. I work in the system test lab for Connexion by Boeing, the company that's making broadband Internet access in flight a reality. Commercial service starts this March on Lufthansa German Airlines, followed by Scandinavian Airlines, Japan Air Lines, All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines later in 2004 and 2005.

I love my job- my group and the Flight Test guys get to play with all the cool toys. We even have our own "flying testbed" 737:

I hear you guys on the single-income-family thing. We are expecting our first in March, and my wife will be a stay-at-home mom. That means NO money for racing in the normal family budget, so I have to sell my Firebird to finance the 2004 season. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Might have to give up racing for a while. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
