David W. McCall was born in Miami in 1971. He grew up and completed High School in Homestead, Florida. David joined the Navy in August 15, 1989 and entered Naval Nuclear Power School, in Charleston, South Carolina training as a Machinist Mate. After completing his training at the Nuclear Power School on board the Moored Training ship 635 (MTS 635), David was assigned to the CGN-37 USS South Carolina, a nuclear powered Guided Missile Cruiser.
Prior to his reporting to the USS South Carolina, David was accepted to Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport Rhode Island starting his classes in August 1991.
I will add more here in the future.
This is my painting of the Tomcat flown by LCDR McCall.
Painting size is two feet by four feet.
The photographs below were sent to me by David who will be the next pilot in my series of "Famous American Aviators".
Here is David with an F-18 Hornet.
Flying the Hornet.
Aren't these great photos!
David with the F-18.
Below are the photos with the F-14 Tomcat.
This is the ultimate "Bird of Prey", the F-14.
The cockpit of the F-14 is the perfect perch for our "Eagle Eyed" Naval aviators.
Isn't this beautiful!
Remember, Death can come in the form of Beauty!
This does require talent, and a bucket of balls!
Twin Phoenix.
The Stinging weapons!
West with a Phoenix missile.
It takes two to fly the F-14.
This is art!
