I checked the West Point website and the alumni site and there's not much that any help, as far as I can see. If it is Steve Farkus (as A Cousin suggested), he'd probably have graduated WP in 1982 or 83 (as the article said he'd been an officer for nine years). If he went to WP at 18, he'd have been born in 1961...making him 48 or thereabouts now. Even if he'd joined after college, he'd still be in his early to mid-40s now. I'm not sure the guy in our photo looks that old but what do you guys think?

One thing I did find out on the WP website is that WP graduates get a class ring. It's not something we do here in Blighty, so I'm totally ignorant about this... What hand should class ring be worn on, right or left? He's not wearing a class ring on his right hand but I can't see his left hand ring finger...

So...he may not actually be a West Point graduate - he's just wearing a t-shirt. I guess they're pretty easy souvenirs to buy, like "Oxford University" t-shirts in the UK...

None of this helps identify who he is, I know, but it could help eliminate who he isn't. He looks like Adam Clayton to me but I doubt he'd be flying on a scheduled flight from Atlanta to Panama City!

Something that might help us, Nitrus, is if you could tell us how you found out all the other information about the photo.
