EAA Chapter 14 is Hosting this Presentation:
Pete Krok has always been a dreamer who always kept his eyes looking skyward. He got his pilot certificate when he was 17. His eyesight prevented him from flying jets in the Air Force, so he earned a bachelor’s degree in math and meteorology from Oregon State University and entered the Air Force as a meteorologist.
Four years later, he went to graduate school and earned a master’s degree in plasma physics and laser optics. He worked for a few years in the Air Force Avionics Lab developing laser designators for air-to-ground weapons delivery. Over the following years, he became a program manager for systems such as the F-15 radar and anti-satellite weaponry. His last assignment was with the Ballistic Missile Office at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California, after which he retired and became a program manager for Orbital Sciences, an aerospace firm in Southern California. He managed the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) satellite program, which produced global maps of ozone depletion areas (holes) in the atmosphere. He retired from this second career in 2001 and then decided to build his own airplane.
