I earned my Private Pilot’s License with Lake Elmo Aero Club out of Lake Elmo, Minnesota this past January! One dream of many come true. On to the next thing #aviator

Also have to give a huge shout out to both US Men’s and Woman’s hockey team! Double gold!

Congratulations to Nick Longhini on being the newest Bodidope Fighter Hire. Nick is headed off to fly Vipers off the Florida beaches with the 93d FS at Homestead FL.

Nick actually picked up a fall out slot – he was the alternate and stayed connected with the unit. A UPT opportunity opened up and the squadron has his phone number ready.

Huge shout out and congratulations to William Millet who crushed his interview and was selected to fly with the Vols! @WilliePete. Your life and career will be one incredible ride, kill it!

BD Fam,

If anyone hasn’t already, I highly recommend watching Master’s of the Air on Apple Tv!

It was truly a different world back then and gives a glimpse into the Aerial Combat of WW2.

Check out this article from AF Times as we unfortunately lost the last B-17 pilot from the “bloody 100th”.

John Luckadoo, last B-17 pilot of the Bloody Hundredth, dies at 103

"Lucky" was just a wide-eyed 21-year-old lieutenant when he manned the B-17 controls and took to the sky for his first bombing mission over Nazi Germany.

Big shout out and congratulations to @ejgelvin who was selected to fly at the 120th! He will be hanging up his hat as an Apache pilot for something a little faster. Congratulations again and best of luck!

My favorite thing to post!

Another Bogidope Fighter Pilot!

Congratulations to a Bogidoper (who prefers to signature manage) who is off to fly viper shaped death machines at an undisclosed unit.

John Doe was and alternate that stayed connected to the unit and got the call when that squadron got a fallout upt slot.

Congratulations! Way to stay in the fight!

A little late, but a big shout out to Will A., who recently got hired to be the next great Bone Driver out at Dyess AFB in the Air Force Reserve!

Huge congrats to Emeric on his awesome interview and successful hiring by the 174th ARS (KC-135) this past weekend!

Shout out to @emily-johson! From her email:

“I interviewed today to be a KC-46 pilot at my old squadron (70th air refueling squadron) where I was a KC-10 flight engineer for 5 years.

They hired me on the spot!”

We tutored a lot, and she studied a TON! Well deserved.
