Jay "Weasel
Keeper" Jenkins
SimHQ Assistant Forums Manager
My love for military aviation goes back as far as I can remember. I was an Air Force "brat" from the time I was born and recall my dad sneaking me around the flightline in his fuel truck on more than one occasion before I was old enough to start school. It stuck with me throughout my life, enough so that when I was old enough I joined the USAF to be a Crew Chief. I spent 86-90 as an F-4E/G (Wild Weasel) Phase Inspection Team Member and flight line Crew Chief. The name "Weasel Keeper" is actually a term for a Wild Weasel Crew Chief. I then joined the Indiana Air National Guard and was a Crew Chief on F-4Es and then F-16C/Ds, and separated as a Staff Sergeant (E-5) in 94. Up until 2005 I was an A&P licensed Maintenance Technician at Shuttle America Airlines on SF340A turboprop aircraft. Late 2005 I reenlisted in the Indiana Air National Guard and am currently a full time Federal Technician F-16C+ Crew Chief.
I've been into flight sims as a hobby since "Top Gun" on my old C64 circa 1988. Since that time I've flown just about everything. I was the XO of the 87FIS Red Bulls virtual flight squadron in Jane's USAF for almost five years. I've spent a lot of my time in the past two or three years beta testing flight sims, but my new favorite sim hobby is racing rFactor at SimHQ.net.
In my free time I enjoy playing hockey, snow skiing, camping, hiking, traveling, and seeing a good air show anytime one is near.
