Paul Thomas - Secretary
Though I’m not a pilot, I’m a self confessed aviation freak! I’ve been attending air shows since the 70’s, and still fondly remember my first show, and hearing that afterburner of the CF-101 kicking in! What a sound! I jumped at the chance to join JAM the moment I heard about them, and dream of hearing that afterburner once again. email: jampthomas@gmail.com
