Craig's love of flying came to fruition when he got his recreational pilot's license in 1994. He is an avid World War II aviation historian, and has often said he was born in the wrong era. Craig is a walking encyclopedia of facts regarding all the air battles during that war and can quote statistics, facts and other miscellaneous information concerning aviation in that period. Craig has visited numerous air and space museums, and has the utmost respect for all the men and women who have been pioneers in this field. Anyone who knows Craig will tell you that flying is his life.
In keeping with his love of World War II planes, Craig has recently become the first distributor in North America of the Supermarine Spitfire kit, which is manufactured in Australia. He is the first American to own a finished demonstrator Mk 26 Spitfire which is 80% scale. He will be educating the public at air shows throughout the United States on what role the Spitfire played in winning the war.
Craig's enthusiasm is contagious, and others have learned much about this war through him. Both Craig, and his son Ryan, will be piloting the Spitfire for many years to come, and will be educating Americans on the role this small plane played in Allied victories.
