Observer
Name Jeff B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was a Private Pilot in the past and had about 1000 hrs experience with quite a bit of night flying but this has been in the past and was approx. 1973 to 1989; but there are some things you notice and never forget. The full moon was also behind me and to my left (sw) and the "fireball" was ahead of me on my right (NE). It scared the "bejesus" out of me too !!!!! My cell: 334-798-9393 if You have ANY INFORMATION PLEASE let Me know or call anytime. Thank You, Jeff Bauman
