Captain David F. Specht

While flying the Boeing 747-400 for United Airlines from 1995 to 1998 I was able to establish a number of records recognized by the “National Aeronautic Association (NAA)” and the “Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI)” receiving a “Diplomate de Records” for each. All flights are in record class C-1 Group III.
