I can't say that I fit too neatly into any specific category. Sort of a mish-mash of most, plus a few extras.
My military time was spent as a radio operator, mostly working Airways, some tower time and some D/F time, plus as an occasional flight crew member.
Got a PPL, owned and flew a C140 mostly, but also flew light twins and light helicopters.
However, most of my 5000 or so hours of flight time was spent as a Flight Test Engineer, about equally split between light and heavy helicopters and twin turboprop Transport Category airplanes. In fact, I did the FAA Certification flight tests on the Fairchild FH-227, Metro III and the FH-1100 helicopter. Even wrote the AFMs for them.
Also held an FAA DER Certificate - Flight Analyst.
And last, but not least, a former Ham operator as well.
