I attended SUPTFC in 2000 and came back as one of the flight commanders in 2001. SUPTFC was definately a factor in where I am today. It was very challenging and rewarding program. I was able to get a great insight into Air Force Pilot training. Anyone who accepts this challenge will not be disappointed.

I was commissioned into the USAF in December, 2006 after graduating from Embry-Riddle. I am currently at MacDill AFB, FL waiting to attend pilot training at Vance AFB, OK. at the end of November, 2007. I am looking forward to taking the controls of the T-6. I still have the wings that I recieved when I graduated from the program. I keep them hidden in my flight cap until the day that I can pin them on for real.
