[Maximum-patterson]

Howdy, my name is Max. I have always wanted to be a military pilot like both my grandfathers. Instead, I went down the business path for a little while and now that I have my degree and some life experience, it’s time to follow that dream. I just turned 25, have a bachelor’s degree from UofSC, and am currently working on getting my PPL and scheduling the AFOQT. Recently moved back to Virginia to focus on flying/applying full time and have been making the most of the robust aerobatic flying community here by spending my weekends volunteering at the flying circus (and sometimes getting front seat time in one of the Stearmans).

I am determined to fly fighters and while I am open to myriad avenues to give myself the best chance at fulfilling that goal, I do have my sights set on going UPT for the guard. I’m also always open to gaining more insight / advice, and am extremely grateful for this community and the mind boggling amount of resources Bogidope has.

Blue skies!
