Milford has come to aviation late in life. After finding out that the young next door neighbor was getting his pilot’s license Milford was eat up with jealousy to the point that at the age of 44 he began flight training. While training he joined the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association for the opportunity to fellowship with pilots. Once they realized that he wasn’t going to go away they made him chapter secretary, then president. Currently he is in partnership with a Cherokee 180, a Starduster Too under construction, and an 80% Complete Midget Mustang is lying neglected in the garage. He has added complex and tailwheel ratings to his license and is currently working on an instrument endorsement.

Bill’s father is credited as one of the longest serving employees in Jacksonville’s history; with 60 years as an engineer in the Public Works Department.

Philip Pent
Philip Pent was born in Jacksonville, Florida in the late 20th century during the great milk depression of ’73. Through great hardship, full of overcoming things and great odds, he continued his life well past his younger years.
Although deeply mired in regularity and mediocrity, Philip made his way through school to graduate in the exact middle of his class with a immoveable “C” average. During this time many of his peers and teachers almost noticed that he had moved away to start a career of ditch digging in Orlando, Fl.
His friend, Shawn called him six months later and said, “You live where? When did this happen? Anyway, let me know if you come back into town, we’ll get a burger or something.”
Some time went by and a degree in Philosophy seemed the right choice for Philip, so he sort of applied himself to it and found himself with a diploma on a fancy white piece of paper, with fancy writing on it, and thousands of dollars in debt.
While in debt, Philip decided to get married and have 2 kids and now his credit cards have been turned off and the banks have been notified. His wife is anything but average so Philip spends as much money as possible anytime he can to assure her of his love.
Now, Philip Pent lives in St. Augustine, Florida and is firmly moving ahead in his life 24 hours at a time.
