If you are looking for pictures of your aircraft from the competition, please use them as you would like. I started this account chiefly to allow teams to find pictures of their aircraft for free use. You may download them and redistribute them as you wish. If possible, though, please cite them appropriately.

I am an Aerospace Engineer in Los Angeles, CA, formerly a student of several universities. Most of my pictures are of the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competitions. I was either a member of or mentor to DBF (or SAE Heavy Lift) teams every year between 2005 and 2012.

I am an AMA-Registered pilot, an RC aircraft test pilot and instructor, amateur radio operator FCC licensed as general class (call KI4GKU), a contributing member of AIAA, SAE, and SPIE, general engineering consultant, painter and photographer.
