Happy birthday @CivilAirPatrol !

83 years of service. #goflyCAP

I just used a 1940’s-era @CivilAirPatrol Cadet handbook to help my 6th grader out with his #Science homework. (He’s learning about the atmosphere.)

The Office of Civil Defense really got their money’s worth out of this outfit. #goflyCAP #aerospace #education

So stoked for Capt Kolton Warren, who got awarded the Viper at his ENJJPT drop last night.

I got to fly with Kolton as his instructor at Civil Air Patrol RPP, logging his first 10 hours as a student pilot.

Next he’s going to be flying F-16s. I’m really proud of him. #goflyCAP #USAF

Exciting progress! EZ Aerospace enabled this proof-of-concept flight demonstrating how Air Taxis can generate more combat power with on-demand advanced air mobility.

Fantastic to be collaborating with the 7th LRS and the Civil Air Patrol to make history. Proud to be part of the AFWERX team.

Happy birthday to the United States Air Force!

The USAF turns seventy-six years-old today. Congratulations to all our Airmen. You don’t look a day over 29. 🫡 #TotalForce #goflyCAP

Updating my socials… My first day as a FORMER Civil Air Patrol guy.

I initially joined the CAP on 03 Apr 1987 as a Cadet. Aged out of that program, but came back as an officer after 9/11.

Altogether, 30 years in the uniform. #goflyCAP

That’s it. Last day as a CivilAirPatrol officer.

Excited to be moving on to the work for AFWERX + AFResearchLab.

I’m grateful for all I that learned, the things I got to do, and all the amazing friends I made along the way. It was one helluva ride.

This weekend’s exercise / flight clinic / bivouac was such a success.

It’s the most fun event hosted by @ILWGCAP every year. (It’s been paused since TheBeforeTimes™)

I got to help train up a new stud, who’s getting ready for his Form 91 checkride. #flightdeckmonday #goflyCAP

Camping with the bros this weekend… #goflyCAP

Really proud of my team. ILWG did good work.

On the way home after a successful mission. Very proud of our team’s work this week. #goflyCAP #FLYINGfriday (📷 @mike_miley)

Stoked that our @ILWGCAP team could support Scott AFB at their airshow this weekend.

We’ve got 2 aircraft on the ramp as static displays for you to come check out. Come say hi to our Cadets and learn more about CAP and the Air Force. #goflyCAP #totalforce #airshow #aviation

Flying TheBeast™ on days I’m not flying jets. 🫡 She got a nice panel upgrade while I was away. #GA8 #goflyCAP

Rode along with one of ILWG’s newest Instructor Pilots yesterday.

Got my first practice flight with a milspec drone today. (@SkydioHQ X2)

New wings… who ‘dis? #goflyCAP

Checkride Sat / Complete. Now current again to convert dinosaurs into decibels by the gallon, not just by the pound. #goflyCAP

Ummm… OK. So, I’ve been appointed to Wing staff.

…also, here’s a recent snap from the conditions now in Hell. #goflyCAP

I still remember being truly awe-struck the first time I visited here when I was 13.

Safety Pilot and OpinionatedCargo™ duty sortie accomplished. #goflyCAP

In a surprising turn of events, I’m apparently flying for @CivilAirPatrol later today. 😲 https://youtu.be/vKjNtHbs9eI #goflyCAP

Proud to have had part of even the teeniest tiniest role in the #aviation mentoring of this bad ass human. “North” is an inspiration.

Well, I had hoped to sneak out for a practice flight in our club aircraft before tomorrow’s #CAP #form5 ride, but the radar suggests perhaps today is not a good day to practice.

So tomorrow’s flight means I might feel rusty with both the 182 and with the G1000.

#goFlyCAP

I’ve actually flown one of these grey tailed #warbirds on operational missions. It was nicknamed, “the taliban turbo.”

The G1000 had a bunch of intermittent faults. The avionics shop was very proud of figuring out the problem. The quarter cup of Afghan sand they managed to vacuum out of the avionics bay was the culprit.
