Dave Gets Winged Again


Dave's training has finally come to an end (insert applause here)! On Tuesday, October 28th he had his last fight in Kingsville, Texas. His last flight was a three plane dogfight where he got to fly solo(no instructor) and battle it out in the sky. At the end of his last flight, he got doused with water by his squadron mates as he got out of the plane(called a Wet Down). Then the squadron XO gave him an new name patch to symbolize his new wings and the completion his training at Kingsville. The video will explain it better. He was originally winged in 2000.
His official winging ceremony will be on November 7th. Hopefully we will find out what the future holds in the next few days. We are waiting very impatiently to find out what type of aircraft he will be flying next and where we will be going. Stay tuned for that as I am sure it will warrant a post of some sort. Enjoy the video:
