Jim earned his private pilot's license in 1968, and a multi-engine rating in 1969. Since then, he has logged nearly 1,500 hours of flight time for business purposes, as well as just for fun. He has flown a wide range of airplanes including the Cessna 210, the Twin Bonanza B50, and the Citabria aerobatic 7GCAA. Jim serves as the Chair of the Aviation Caucus of the California Legislature. Because he has experienced the enjoyment of flying first-hand, he seeks to use his role within the Aviation Caucus to remind policy-makers and the general public of the many ways General Aviation has contributed to California's economic and recreational well-being.
