About FlightRadio.com

My name is Michael Dell ( no not THAT Michael Dell ). I am the owner of FlightRadio.com and Lakewoodhosting.com .

My day job is Graphic Arts for a magazine publisher / printer in Traverse City, Michigan. I have been a Ham Radio operator since 1987 ( N7LMJ) I got my Extra Class license in 2000. I also do a Folk Music Radio show on WNMC 90.7 FM in Traverse City – www.wnmc.org and a podcast called “Mike Dell’s World” – www.mikedell.com

I got my interest in Aviation in the Air Force. I was a Staff Sergeant in the USAF and worked at a Aircraft electrician on Fighter type aircraft. My specialty was the F-111 Aardvark , EF-111 Raven , and the F-15 Eagle. I have worked on a whole lot more types of aircraft such as, but not limited to F-16 Falcon (now raptor) , A-10 Warthog, F-4 Phantom , T-38 Talon, C-130 Hercules , E-3 AWACS, HH3 Golly Green Giant, KC-135, KC-10, C-141, Learjet 21A, V-22 Osprey, and a few more. I was stationed in Texas, Illinois, Idaho, Iceland and Florida. I spent a total of 10 years with the Air Force. It was fun but I’m glad I got out when I did. ( right after Golf War 1 ) .

My other interests are Podcasting, Broadcasting, and Glock Pistol shooting. I also enjoy Golfing, Poker, Computers, Boats, Old Cars, and most other big boy toys.

I started FlightRadio.com in 1998 because ( at the time ) it was really hard to find Aircraft frequencies and information on scanning for aircraft and Air Traffic Control on the web. In 2002 I let someone else take over FlightRadio.com. They didn’t do much with it and then gave it back to me. So now in 2010 I’m getting back up to speed.

I hope you like what you see at FlightRadio.com and I hope you will contribute to the content here by sending in your frequency lists, news, links, an other aircraft info.

Happy scanning

Michael Dell, N7LMJ
