Red Carpet

All the spouses of David's pilot training class had the opportunity to see what they will be doing throughout the next year. They call it "Red Carpet" and we all definitely felt spoiled to have the pleasure of this experience. 
Not only were we allowed to see places they wont, we got to fly a T-6 flight simulator before they do. This whole red carpet event is designed to give us an idea of what our spouses will experience during the next 52 weeks of training. Laughlin does an amazing job keeping us up to date and involved in their training. 

High ranking personal teaching us all about Pilot Training and answering our questions.

Thanks to all the Laughlin Staff who continues the Red Carpet program making it a wonderfully knowledgeable and memorable experience for us spouses!
