Flying my twin-engine Cessna 310Q airplane
An American Welcome to my page! I'm happy to be part of the worldwide Wikimedia community, writing articles and contributing photos. I began editing on Wikipedia in 2004, writing on a wide range of topics from sports to early 20th century history, and became an administrator in 2008. My photos have been selected for publication by the Encyclopedia Britannica, the AP, UPI, USA Travel Guide, The Pennsylvania Society, and the National Park Service, among others. I also handle Revision Deletion requests — email me or send an IRC message here (nick "JGHowes").
