Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR Training and IFR Rating for Sport Pilots

I lived in St Louis in 1952 but grew up near Jefferson city, I went in the US Army in 1953 and got engineering degree in 1962 from  University of Missouri Columbia and went to work at NASA Space program, Saturn V Moon Rocket but worked on military aircraft a lot.
