Maintaining health, fun, safety Published Oct. 1, 2012 By Maj. Brent J. Davis 910th Airlift Wing Public Affairs YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN REGIONAL AIRPORT, Ohio -- For Air Force Reserve Senior Master Sgt. Darin Wesoloski and Technical Sgt. Andy Ford, working on and around $36 million 4500 horsepower C-130H Hercules aircraft just isn't enough. Both members of the 910th Maintenance Squadron have been motorcycle enthusiasts since they were teens. Wesoloski, an Air Reserve Technician (ART) fabrication flight chief, has been a motorcycle enthusiast since he was sixteen. "I had to move out of my parents' house at 18 before I could get a motorcycle," said Ford, an ART avionics specialist. Recently, the two helped form a motorcycle club at Youngstown Air Reserve Station. "The Green Knights Chapter 103 was formed for mentoring and motorcycle safety," said Ford. Ford has been a rider coach and motorcycle safety course instructor for six years; four of which were held at Youngstown air Reserve Station.. The Green Knights Chapter 103 club held its first meeting at Youngstown air Reserve Station in April. During summer, the club began planning its first fund raiser, War on Hunger. The Sept. 29 event was held here, starting with a ride down the airport runway and ending at Quaker Steak and Lube in Sharon, Pa. "The purpose of the event was to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and the Food Warehouse of Mercer County," said Ford. Although only 15 non-club members pre-registered, more than 180 bikers participated in the fund raiser runway ride including 93-year-old Fred Kubli, Jr., 910th Airlift Wing honorary commander. As of Oct. 1, the event raised more than $2,400, but the planners continue to count the donated money. "The event was a major success. We talked to participants to get feedback and they all said it was flawless," said Wesoloski. The two Citizen Airmen bikers are helping plan a dinner ride this fall, depending on Northeastern Ohio weather.
