Flight complete!

Today was the day. My first flight as a pilot-in-command! We had a really great time flying people all over the place. I was thankful to have Jeremiah as my Pilot. We had a lot of fun and finished the mission without any issues at all. From left to right: Jeremiah Pyrdol, Arlan Sybert, Luke Ferguson, Kyle Johnson, and Tony Matysik. Thanks to everyone for the hard work and for making my first ride a great and memorable one!

PC ride complete!

Well, it's finally done! I finished my Pilot-in-Command Evaluation with CW4 Manny Portela yesterday. It's really the one goal of every pilot once you finish flight school. It's been a long time coming... there's been an influx of pilots in the Army for the last several years to the point where every airframe is over strength and there aren't enough hours to go around. It makes it difficult to gain enough experience to get signed off as PC.
So this is it... I'm flying my first flight as a PC tomorrow with our maintenance pilot. He's already a PC so this is kind of a 50/50 flight. Saturday will be my first true flight as a PC. Should be fun!
