✈️ Congratulations, Frank! 🇺🇸
After an incredible aviation career spanning both military service and the airlines, including recently retiring from American Airlines in the Boeing 777, Frank decided it was finally time to add something a little different to his logbook — single-engine flying!
With the vast majority of his experience being in multi-engine aircraft, Frank came to Falcon Flight Academy to earn his Single-Engine Add-On in the RV-12iS.
It’s always a privilege getting to fly with someone who has spent a lifetime in aviation, and we’d especially like to thank Frank for his service to our country and for the many years he spent safely carrying passengers around the world as an airline pilot.
And apparently, stepping down from the 777 to the RV-12iS wasn’t too bad of a transition… Frank enjoyed flying the RV-12 so much that he’s now considering buying one of his own! 😎
Congratulations, Frank, and thank you again for your service. We’re glad we could be a small part of the next chapter of your aviation journey!
Blue skies and tailwinds! ✈️
