Timothy Alan Kinnan (born April 24, 1948) was a Lieutenant General in the United States Air Force he retired from active duty in September 2004.
Kinnan was born in Tacoma, Washington to the late Henry Wallace ("Wally") Kinnan, and Marjorie Ahrendt. His father, Wally Kinnan, a pioneering television meteorologist and early television personality, was also a B-17 pilot during World War II and was shot down, spending nearly two years as a POW in Stalag Luft III. While interned Wally was a founding member of the Sagan Serenaders, a group of musicians who were immortalized in the movie The Great Escape for holding concerts to cover the sound of digging associated with the escape attempt. Wally’s war-time and peace time service created in Tim a strong interest in the US Air Force. Getting both the interest in flying and an interest in music from his father he had to make a choice between the US Air Force Academy and music school. The Air Force won out and he entered the US Air Force Academy in 1966 receiving his commission in 1970. Following graduation he married Sue Elaine Kelley. He has two daughters, Jennifer and Emily and five grandchildren, Kelley, Jillian, Lydia, Max, and Gabrielle.
