Military Flight Instruction
Some here know me and my career background. While the Navy (and military aviation in general) is primarily a fighting force, we do need experienced flight instructors. Unfortunately, most of us only get to do this as a 2.75 yr tour, once in our career. Flight instruction has always been my largest passion in aviation.
I have been lucky enough to have a 3 year helicopter flight instructor gig, followed by a 3 year "mentoring" gig as we transition to the new MH-60R helicopter. I just got the news yesterday that I will now get 3 more years instructing in the mighty T-6B for primary flight (initial accessions)...back to Pensacola for me! |
Nick, congrats on the new assignment:D

Congrats on your assignment
When I was a flight student in PCola we could always tell which instructors wanted to be there and which didn't. Of course, the very best instructors had experience and wanted to instruct--so my guess is that your students are very lucky to get you.
I'll bet instructing in the T-6 will be a BLAST. |
Nick, we'll sure miss you at the monthly EAA1379 meetings.
|
Sweet!
Nick,
That's great news! |
I was lucky going through flight school at Wolters & Rucker (class 69-24) in that all but one of my instructors were highly experienced and wanted to be there.
It makes a big difference. |
Good to hear you got FL and not TX Nick. Have fun in the fixed wing side.

I flew the A model when they were still stationed at Moody. It is a very nice airplane, and the air conditioner actually works - you should enjoy it. Good luck with the transition.

And the fly-bys! :D |
Congrats, Nick. Sounds way better than another COA we had discussed!
