Shawn Tuckett Upgraded to Fixed Wing!!

Shawn Tuckett, covert operations specialist, decided to keep his solo a secret from us yesterday afternoon! Nothing gets past the GBA Radar (most times) 😎. Shawn Tuckett isn’t new to this whole aviation thing, though. Deciding to finally jump on the band wagon and get the superior fixed wing rating, Shawn has been flying helicopters ever since. And while he doesn’t flaunt it, Shawn has his helicopter CFII, meaning he may or may not be able to teach his flight instructor, Alex Spencer, a thing or two. When he’s not hiding things from us, Shawn does mechanical work on C130s for the Air Force, juggling the responsibilities that come with being a new dad, and spending time with his lovely wife. We’ve also been told that like his methodical instructor, Shawn Tuckett is a menace when it comes to following the checklist. Let’s give Shawn a huge congratulations on this awesome accomplishment! He may have been around the block in terms of flying, but there’s nothing like doing your first solo, even if it’s in a fixed wing aircraft. Awesome work you two!
