That is indeed my friend Bozo!

I met Lloyd when we were roommates base in our Boston domicle. He was living near me in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and we were both commuting to Boston. I was flying as a First Officer on the DC-10 and Bozo was crewing it as a Second Officer (Flight Engineer). We shared an apartment, became fast friends, flew many trips together (a couple of "interesting" layovers in Amsterdam...lol), and he joined our LAN group back in the late 90's.

Bozo went on to fly as a Captain on the Airbus 320, became an instructor pilot on said machine, and retired a few years ago. He's now down in Florida, and I don't have his current phone number     . I've messaged him on FaceBook, and am awaiting his reply... He has some UNBELIEVABLE stories about his time as a fleet aviator in the F-14, and his yarns about the making of the movie "Top Gun" are great. Check out two of his yarns under the "Night Ops South China Sea"....they're superb. I'd love to have him contribute to this forum someday...

On top of all that rot, he is TRULY one of the nicest (and funniest) individuals on the planet.
