He feels that the Science Fiction genre is fertile ground to understand ourselves and where we're going. Ray was a Command Pilot in the US Air Force with over 4,500 flight hours. He traveled to 27 countries around the world in the C-130. His assignments ranged from landing in a farm field in Paraguay to entering West Berlin and experiencing Russian controllers giving him false headings. Ray's other assignment was as a T-38 instructor pilot. "The T-38 is the best plane in the word; two pilots, two engines, and two afterburners." Two of his remarkable experiences included training the first class of female pilots and receiving an Air Commendation medal for saving a T-38 that blew an engine during a touch and go, saving himself and the student pilot on board. After his Air Force career, Ray enjoyed a long and exciting career with Northrop Grumman. During the 28 years at Northrop, some of the highlights included work as the Lead Wind Tunnel test engineer on the F-20, F-23, F-18, and B-2.
