Reposted with the permission of Chief Romzzz from the Timawa forum: Pictured with him is a Pinoy member of the Canadian Air demonstration squadron, the Snowbirds, whom he met at an airshow at a US airbase in Alaska. His position is the Public Affairs Officer of the unit. His rank says two stripes- which means he is a Canadian Forces Air Command Captain. (US equivalent of O-3/USAF Captain or British RAF/Aussie RAAF Squadron leader/OF-3)
