Gene Reynolds: Former Special Ops Pilot

Gene has pretty much seen it all as a helicopter pilot. He has flown in the army (special ops) and as a civilian pilot in many facets. Some of the main topics Gene and I talk about are...

How the movie Top Gun led him to want to become a military pilot How a medical issue messed up his flight slot for the military. How and why he joined the warrant officer flight program. Talk about the differences between military training vs civilian.

How Helicopters don’t naturally want to fly. We talk about what happens when you fall behind in military helicopter training. Why we need high-quality CFI’s to stay as a CFI.
