From F-16 flight on Dec 7, 2007

Hello! I am Mark Pensenstadler. My last name is so long I got the nickname P12 in the Air Force. I'm 36 years old and live in Westland, MI. My first kitplane was a Rans S-10 Sakota which took me two years and three weeks to build. After the first flight on July 17, 2003 I flew it for two years and about 150 hours. For various reasons, I sold the S-10 in May of 2006.

I decided I wanted to build another airplane so I researched a bunch of different kits. Again I chose to build another Rans product and this time it's the S-6S Coyote. For this type of flying, I believe you will find no better product than a kit from Rans.

I work as a Captain for Mesaba Airlines flying the CRJ-900. I've just started my 9th year there and have a total of about 7,000 hours (most of it in the SAAB 340B+)

I also have 16 years in the Air Force. While on active duty, I served as a Minuteman III nuclear missile mechanic at Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, MT. Now I'm in the Air National Guard at Selfridge ANGB working on F-16 ejection systems on the weekends.

Thanks for visiting,

Mark
