Keith Sime | Part 2 | Marine Corps Aviator

With two tours in Vietnam, in a variety of aviator roles, Keith's aviation career spanned continents with stories to spare. Bombing runs in the F4 Phantom were his most direct-contact involvement, and his brief time in the CH-47 helicopter taught him respect for this fellow aviators traveling low and slow. Ultimately his career was a success, something he didn't realize until reflecting on it long after.
He had a 10-year stint with Lockheed Martin, first building Landing Ship Docks (LSD) then transferring to California where he managed quality assurance for the Hubble Space Telescope program. After retiring he called Central Oregon home and has since become an avid, and decorated, runner.

This is his story.
