Is there anything this guy can’t do? 🔥
Fresh off completing his RPL, CSU and Retract endorsements only a couple weeks ago, Levi now has an extra skill in his tool belt with a navigation endorsement.
What made it even better was the training was done in his own aircraft, a very capable Hawk XP.
Well done mate!
Enjoy those coastal fishing runs! 😉 🎣
