Paul,

Last night I learned that I will be heading to Seymour-Johnson to fly the
F-15E at the conclusion of my training!  Just wanted to share the good news
and thank you once again for all your help.

Paul,

Today my JSUPT class tracked into our next/final phase trainer.  Five other buddies and I have advanced to the T-38C for the next six months!  Thanks for helping me those years ago to reach where I am today.

Regards,

Mike Armour passed his private pilot checkride on Monday, June 21, 2010 — just a day before he left for Colorado Springs to join the US Air Force Academy as part of the Class of 2014!

Empire would like to congratulate Cadet Mike Armour for receiving the Order of Daedalians “Top Stick Trophy” from the 94th Flying Training Squadron (94 FTS) at the US Air Force Academy.  Way to go Hot Pocket!!!
