Beyond Canadian Air Force Pilot Graduation

This blog is a continuation of stories that relate to some Canadian military pilots who graduated around year 2010. I was one of the lucky candidates selected for pilot training in 2005. I have described the process of signup, boot camp and pilot training in another blog called From Boot Camp To Flying.

I'm planning to update this blog on regular basis. Some of my friends now fly the Sea Kings or Griffons. Others are flying Search and Rescue missions on the Hercules or Cormorants. Few have been selected as CF-18 pilots. Their stories and career paths are definitely worth sharing. Not only to learn about their amazing efforts but also to shed some light on this type of career, something that new recruits or those thinking of joining would definitely benefit from.

Stay tuned for some really interesting stories about your fellow Canadian Air Force pilots! In the mean time check out this cool search and rescue story on the Air Force website:
