Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in extending a warm welcome to our new Assistant Chief Pilot Scott Brandenburg !

Scott has a very rich and extensive career in real life aviation (including 16 years at Delta Airlines), working on L-1011, 727, 737, 757, 767, DC-9, MD-88, MD-11, and A-310. He is now keen to share this experience with us.

Scott's flight simming experience began with his Timex-Sinclair 1000 ("with a mind-boggling 16K RAM, back in 1983") ! He is excited to join the team and it will be a pleasure to work with him.

If you all need anything within the program, please let us know and we will be glad to assist.

Brian - I was an aircraft mechanic for DL from 1991-1998, when I went salary and had the maintenance program for the 757. During wrench-turning days, I busted my knuckles on everything in the fleet, mostly L1011s. I also had the honor of being on the final DL 727 flight, ATL-VCV.
