Kent enjoys flying and has been involved in aviation for 40 years. He is a certificated Airline Transport Pilot and is a graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School Aviation Safety Officer's course. In 2010 he attained a Master of Library Science degree and uses those skills to maintain signalcharlie.blogspot.com to share aerospace safety information.
Kent and the Skipper also enjoy messing about in small boats, and keep a log of their hobby adventures on smallboatrestoration.blogspot.com. Their Alcort/AMF collection includes a wooden Sunfish, Standard Sailfish, Super Sailfish and Catfish to keep their fiberglass Sunfish company. They published The Sunfish Owner's Manual in 2013, recently built a Penobscot 14 sailboat and in 2016 restored the 1880s Mississippi River Yawl BARBASHELA.
