First flight as PC


Please play video while viewing pictures (yes. it's necessary.)

-My first flight as a PC included losing navigation equipment, almost going inadvertant IMC (into the clouds) and Jack Daniels Whiskey, though we survived to fly another day.

(You'll have to ask me about the Whiskey...)


First Flight as Pilot-in-Command... 866 with Miles, Matt and Billy. This was 1st platoon, Bravo Company all the way. The Platoon Leader, Assistant Platoon leader, most senior crew chief and newest crew chief in the company (used strategery and designed it this way) (:
2 hours flying a VIP around.


Immediately after the first flight... you can still see all the lights on in the cockpit + the red button (don't EVER touch the red button)


Blackhawk 100 feet overhead... I love helicopters.


We had a mission with the Croatians. They fly the MI-171sh.


We were waiting on our passengers to come back...


Notice the castle ruins in the background...


This is my fourth flight as PC... we're waiting on the Sergeant Major of the Army to get done with his meeting - got a coin from it!





My turn to park the aircraft (:

(it's harder than it looks to put that sucker on the line!)
