The third generation pilot shared photos of his craft and told stories including what it was like to be a Snowbird and how teamwork is key to achieve perfection in flight formation.\u00a0 After his career as a fighter pilot and Snowbird pilot Scratch turned his aviation experience and skill towards film and TV production. As a professional air show pilot, Scratch has coordinated, flown and directed hundreds of photo and film shoots, some with over a dozen aircraft involved.<\/p>\n

After his visit, we have no doubt we have some new pilots in the making!<\/p>\n

Thanks Scratch!<\/p>\n
