Flying out of Bangkok on a Thai Airways cargo contract. Things never change, just change the paint on the aircraft to a different shade of blue. After the USAF, I started with UACI in 1979 as S/O and upgraded to Captain on the DC-8 in '85. After that I have been a freight dog with other airlines. I helped Andy Barnes, Jim Tweddale, and Ron Smith start up Air Train, which became Emery Worldwide Airlines, and spent 15 years there, all I did was fly the line. I flew 747´s for Polar Air Cargo after Emery closed. Currently I'm with Focus Air in the left seat on the B-747, flying out of Bangkok. My Bride of 25 years is Apple Unchana Thamasak. Currently she is the Assistant Director for Clinical Services at IUPUI CAPS, (Indiana University, Purde University, Indianapolis) (Counseling and Psychological Services). We were one of the first couples to get married overseas. I think there were about 10 maybe more couples that got married while with UACI. We have a boy who is 8 going on 15, Ty is a very smart boy. He is in the 3rd grade and likes to play the piano and work in his tree farm. We bought our farm in '82 in Indiana, and started growing Black Walnuts trees in '89. As I reach that golden year, I look back and I remember UACI as one of the high points in my career as an aviator. I take the good with the bad and do not think I would change a thing. Only the best to all and Happy Landings.
