PART 4:

Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF)

Pre IFF

After graduation, I drove to Missouri and my grandpa and I flew our Bonanza out to Yosemite National Park. It was my first experience with actual mountain flying in a small aircraft. We flew through canyons and around peaks we couldn’t climb above, a fun challenge as we navigated through various passes. I also planned our route to fly over ten national parks. It was an interesting way to see the country as we were usually flying at the lowest legal altitude over these areas. It’s nice when the vacation from your job is doing more of your job, just in a different way.

My grandpa and I spent the majority of time talking about the flying of the past year and what an incredible experience it had been for me, and for him, to be able to follow. He and I, having shared elements of this experience in our lives, have a special relationship as we can understand each other. Military flying is difficult to understand for even commercial pilots so I was very fortunate to have him to tell my stories to.
