Award-winning author John Cathcart earned his USAF pilot wings in 1980 and served on active duty for 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. Most of John’s AF flying was in two versions of the F-111.
After retiring, John flew with American Airlines, where he spent most of his career flying the 737 out of their Miami base. He retired from American in 2015 and now spends his days in retirement writing, catching up on all the honey-dos, and scaring (not catching) fish.
John has volunteered with MWSA since 2009, serving as webmaster, reviewer, awards director, and at-large board member.
