    • I was born in January of 1929, and grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas during the great depression of the 1930's. We moved to the desert high plains of Cedarvale, New Mexico in 1944. It was ranching country, seven thousand feet elevation on the flat, and the mountains rose up from that. There was good deer hunting, and it was very remote. My father's health was poor and we were lured by the prospects of making a living by raising pinto beans for the war effort. That's right, we were going to get rich raising beans in the desert. I graduated from High School in Corona, NM, and perhaps that was the only success the family had in those years.
    We moved back to Wichita Falls in 1946 to keep from starving. Someone failed to tell us that raising anything in the high plains of New Mexico was a chancy business. My father was a mechanic, not a rancher nor a bean farmer.

Sky Aviator:

JDFox, known for his skill in the skies, has left an indelible mark on the world of aviation. His prowess in different aircraft and many hours of flight in more than 75 years of flying, has led him to explore the limits of the atmosphere, making him a true master of the art of flying. From the roaring engines of fighter jets to the silent grace of private jets such as Lockhood JetStars I, II, III, Fox has demonstrated his prowess in every flight, transforming the act of taking to the skies into an art, rooted in an incomparable experience.

Aviator of Words:

But JDFox's prowess is not limited to physical flight; he has also made his mark in the literary world. Through his published books, Fox shares with the reader the wonders and challenges of aviation. With a deft pen, he paints vivid pictures of his experiences in the sky, of the course of his life experiences, captivating readers of all ages with tales that go beyond the clouds and land in the heart of human emotion.
Life Aviator: However, the true essence of JDFox transcends the cockpit of an airplane and manifests itself in his role as an aviator of life. Guided by sound moral precepts and rooted in his Christian beliefs, Fox has modeled a life of integrity, kindness and compassion. His ethics on land reflect the same precision and dedication he displays in the skies, with absolute accountability.

Exceptional Family Heritage:

JDFox's story is not only his own; it is also a tale of exceptional family heritage. Rooted in solid principles passed down from generation to generation, Fox carries with him the legacy of a family that values excellence, faith and service to others. This unique heritage has influenced his journey and has humbly contributed to forging the man we celebrate today.

In conclusion, JDFox is not only an exceptional aviation pilot, but a masterful storyteller, a man of deep-rooted moral and Christian principles, and a bearer of an exceptional family heritage. His life teaches us that flying high is not only about reaching physical altitudes, but also soaring through integrity, passion and faith.
