Jon "Fitz" Fitzimmons

Fitz is flying his RV-4 painted in in the classic high-visibility "don't hit me" yellow. Why fly so tight in formation then and on purpose? He bought his airplane back in April of 2013 and has flown it over 430 hours in less than 3 years! When he's not flying his RV-4, Fitz flies for Delta Airlines. Before that, he flew for 15 years in the Air Force flying a variety of C-135 aircraft that were not tankers. He has over 4000 hours of flying time and a little over 300 hours of combat time (if you call combat flying over someplace at 30,000 feet without any weapons). He's a multi-engine ATP pilot type-rated in the Boeing 707 and DC-9, classics. Fitz is married to Dani and they have one young daughter, Piper. Will a future son be named "Van"? Only time will tell! They live in Omaha, Nebraska and would like to say in closing; GO BIG RED!!
