Phillip Hogan's passion for aviation and space began at an early age. He was intrigued making his own rockets and sharing the launching experiences with his father and schoolmates. Phillip's appetite for planes was whetted by his Junior Civil Air Patrol membership while in high school. As his aeronautics' interest continued to grow, he made the decision to enter the Air Force one year after graduating from Asheboro High School. Since retirement from the Air Force, he has completed Aviation Ground School, has plans of obtaining his Sport Pilot License, and is endeavoring to make his dream of his own personally built airplane a reality. I have no doubts that he will succeed.
