The Decaying of United States Air Power

Hi my name is Greg. I am 13 years old. My father builds model airplanes and I got interested in the real planes. Mostly in the new Air Force planes. Some of my favorites are the F-16 , F-22 and F-117. I build models of planes and rockets. I am currently a member of the Civil Air Patrol, which is the US Air Force Auxiliary. The CAP's web site is in the links section if you would like to learn more about it. Below are some pictures and links to my favorite sites. I am also interested in astronomy. If you have any comments or questions, you can E-Mail me or sign my guestbook which are both at the bottom of the page.
