| Personal History | Jim Holbridge was born to be a fighter pilot. As a boy in his native Russia, Jim would climb trees, buildings, radio transmitter antennae, anything to get his feet off the ground. He obtained his personal pilot’s license at age 13 and promptly began a flying service, gradually expanding into a global company that he sold. At age 18 Holbridge was accepted to Starfleet’s Starfighter Corps and went through the Academy plus an additional 18 months of training in Starfleet fighters. After graduating 4th in his class Holbridge was assigned to Starbase 345 as a pilot, patrolling the Cardassian frontier with ferocious determination. While official reports are sketchy, Holbridge is rumored to have engaged seven Cardassian fighters by himself. During the Dominion War, Holbridge was shot down and then taken prisoner. Despite his injuries and the apathy of his fellow prisoners, Jim and several other prisoners promptly escaped, stealing a Galor-class warship and making his way back to Federation space. After a brief convalescence, Holbridge returned to the front lines in the cockpit of a fighter, terrorizing enemy pilots and making his superiors wonder how he survived such insane odds, thus earning him a new call sign “Longshot”. The war with the Dominion ended and Jim was eager to pass on the sum total of his experiences to a new crop of pilots coming up through the ranks. Jim was selected by Admiral Ricky Wegener as a squadron commander and placed in charge of VMF-131, the Vampires. Sabotage and the loss of his backseater compelled Jim to resign from the Fighter Corps, but Admiral Wegener did not want to lose Holbridge to civilian life and made him the Strategic Operations Officer. After the Strategic Operations Department was deactivated, Jim quietly accepted a position as the Satellite Academy's Chief Flight Instructor. |
