Yeeeee Haw! Derrick Craine is a Commercial Pilot!

From Georgia to the sky, Derrick Craine is ready to peach his way to new heights with his commercial pilot’s license! Our line tech warrior, biggest smile award winner, loudest laugh echoing down the hallway, and Waffle House aficionado is now a pilot for hire! Derrick is no stranger to handling pressure, whether it’s on the football field at the University of Tennessee or in the cockpit. When Derrick’s not flying, you’ll find him in South Lake Tahoe, either chasing after his daughter’s latest adventure or swinging for birdies on the golf course—because even when he’s grounded, he’s still aiming high! While we love giving Derrick a hard time, it has truly been a privilege to watch him conquer one checkride after the next, making him that much closer to his dream of flying professionally. The next time you see this country fella, give him some of that southern hospitality and wish him a huge congratulations, he’s certainly earned it! Awesome job, Derrick! And a huge shoutout to his CFI Eric Harned! We hear CFI is right around the corner…
