army aviation component

And I was one of those guys, four years in a day, and I'm out.

and ended up loving what I was doing and went into Army Aviation and started out in Hueys and then eventually went into Blackhawks in between, flew OH-58s as well.

Just had a wonderful career.

I think out of 20 years, 10 was overseas.

So met a lot of great people along the way and served in different places.

And I just loved the whole ethos of Army aviation.

A lot of my dearest friends were fellow aviators.

My wife, who I met when she was going to flight school, was a Chinook pilot, and we named our first daughter Amelia after, like, Amelia Earhart.

So the airport has its own... duty as a component of the Nigerian military.

And I think it's not going to interface with the Nigerian Army Aviation Base because I want to talk about the flight range, you know, how far the helicopters can go.

There's a limit the helicopters can go.

I think about 1,000 or 2,000, you know, from the ground.

... dustoff community.

So yeah, talk me through maybe some of the different paths in Army Aviation.

So when you arrive at Fort Rucker, and you finish Warrant Officer Career College, now you're, you're joined up with, uh, young lieutenants and, and early commissioned officers.

And now you go through flight school together.
