    Juan - David, my 17 year old son, passed his Private Pilot check ride the following week with flying colors. He will remember his first tail dragger flight with you in the Husky for the rest of his life. Now on to his instrument rating.

    I’m retired Navy and spent many hours in Naval Aviation Maintenance. Positive Tool Control! We had an old Grumpy Petty Officer who would always say, boys, if we are missing a tool, we will all be here until 2500 until we find it, and by God that’s late!

    Hi Juan.
    Thanks for coming to Byron and speaking at our annual AngelFlight West event. I owe so much to you and to the Patriot Jet Team for your assistance. I hope to see you next year.

    Byron airport was my son’s favorite place to go potty around age 3-5. We’d be flying south using Byron to skirt the class bravo SFO and invariably we needed a stop. Flight following and all the other traffic got a kick out of it when the controllers would ask “Is everything okay 2139Y?”…

    I have been an Angel Flight pilot for 19 years (Angel Flight Northeast). Great organization for pilots, in that so many pilots are just looking for a reason to fly their plane and on the other side there are some very appreciative folks who need a ride to get health care. And you get to fly to some interesting airports you normally wouldn't fly into. The only reason I have flown my GA piston plane into Boston Logan (or Caribou Maine) a dozen times is because of Angel Flight.

    HI Juan. Great video! I was one of the original folks organizing the Jet Team & Foundation over 24 years ago. Moved east in 2019. I miss volunteers and students, so it is great to see the hanger and old friends again. Zippy...you did a super job on the tour! Very informative. Keep PJT and the Foundation flying!

    Retired Navy as well. Story from commercial media. Late 70s / early 80s. Someone found a F-4 Wildcat in lake Huron. Missing from NAS Grosse Isle during WWII. Navy investigators found a wrench in the cables. Wrench was marked. Investigated. Mechanic still alive in Michigan. Knock, knock. No other news.

    And seeing Kellen (spelling) grow up, become such a great young man and fly!!! Is especially amazing and brilliant.
    I love what you are doing mostly because the honesty in it all is so beautiful and refreshing in this crazy world we are living in.
