The Pilot Project Podcast

What is it like to fly at 15 feet over the deserts of Iraq? How about aiding in disaster relief when the fires struck Fort McMurray? Pete shares his experiences flying tac hel and talks about the importance of maintaining joy in flying and going to work. He’ll talk about why that’s essential to his success as a pilot.

Pete has flown the Bell CH-146 Griffon in Canada and Iraq, and currently instructs at 3 Canadian Forces Flight Training School in Portage la Prairie, MB. He’s been a high school teacher and had many other occupations before joining which makes him unique among my guests so far!

Pete talks about flying the CH-146 Griffon and some of his passion projects; through it all what shines through is someone whose generosity and passion for helping others also keeps him loving the Air Force Lifestyle.
