Zooty's Story

Zooty (aka Steve Ford) lives in Wallingford, Connecticut with his wife and daughter. He was born in Dayton, Ohio and met fellow Skyknight SKRibbs when he was just 8 years old. They have been close friends ever since. Zooty lived in various cities while working as a radio "personality" and advertising writer. Zooty has been employed as editor of QST magazine, the official journal of the American Radio Relay League (the ham radio equivalent of the National Rifle Association) since 1991. He joined Air Warrior in 1999, subsequently migrating to Aces High after Air Warrior's demise. Zooty prefers B17s, although he freely admits that he is a much better gunner than bombardier.

From the -CO-... As Zooty has been a long standing member of the SkyKnights, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" clause of the SKBG Oath was waived in his case. Anyone climbing aboard his bomber is usually greeted with a "Welcome aboard the Raging Queen" in an accent which would make the Queer Eye guys cry with envy. Always entertaining, Zooty is also one of the squad's more notorious film makers.
