I'm an Aviate coach and one of my folks has an October class date. Coming over from Air Wisconsin.

I've enjoying mentoring in both military and civilian roles, and figured I might be able to help mold those who will eventually be among our ranks.

For what it's worth, the 5 I'm currently mentoring have fairly extensive aviation backgrounds and seem to be very sharp. Having never flown with them I cannot attest to their stick and rudder, but I have encouraged all of them to explore fun flying outside of work such as glider, taildragger or aerobatic flying - there is no replacement for building that seat-of-the-pants kinesthetic sense short of basic military pilot training.
