If the bullets above haven’t convinced you to join us on March 7, let me tell you more. The dozens of volunteer mentors who attend this workshop year after year do this because of their love of helicopters, their care for our industry, their passion to help fellow veteran aviators/ maintainers, and their belief in networking. With the exception of the word “helicopter,” you will hear the word “networking” more than anything else. This workshop, hands down, is the finest opportunity for a transitioning service member to network.
But wait! There’s more. If you plan to attend the workshop and need to obtain your MilComp FAA pilot certificate, flight instructor certificate or even a type rating, we can do it on the spot! You will need to pass the proper written test(s), do a small bit of pre-coordination with me, and bring the proper paperwork. If you’re interested in doing this, please go online to
rotorcraftpro.com/magazine to see the Sept/Oct 2020 issue of Rotorcraft Pro (scroll down to “View Past Issues” and select “Sept/Oct 2020”). In that issue, I explain in detail how to obtain FAA certificates and ratings via MilComp. When you’re ready to coordinate, please email me at
tinnesand@cox.net.
