AVP Paul Rucker Jr–El Passo, Tx
From and interview with AVP Paul Rucker Jr
I started flying U-Control’s in the early 1970’s, progressed to radio control airplanes in 1973. I’ve flown Sport Planes and Old School Pattern Planes as well as 1/2A sized planes. Currently I fly Sport planes, UMX Micros, and some EDF’s.
I am married with 3 children from a previous life, and I have 5 grand children.
I was a club flight instructor years ago. My club is the El Paso Radio Controllers which is located in Northeast El Paso Tx. The club has been around since the 1960’s.
Here is a mini-work history. I retired from an Federal Agency DCMA. As part of that I served as a NASA Quality Control Inspector and final buy-off/purchase position for the US Government. As a DoD Inspector I oversaw numerous weapon programs, including F-15, F-18, F-22, B-1B, AMRAM, USAF ALCM Missiles, Lockheed ATACMS, F-14, Minuteman III GRP, and countless others. NASA projects included the Space Shuttle, International Space Station (ISS) and Space Launch Systems (SLS).
My certification of disciplines include, Electronics, Electrical, Aerospace, Aircraft, Petroleum and Chemicals, Clothing and Textiles (C&T) and Weapons Grade Software. I have a BSBA from Columbia Southern University (CSU), and a yet unfinished Masters (MBA).
