​Shawn Plunket is officially a Certified Flight Instructor—because apparently, being a Cal Fire badass, retired Nevada Air National Guard Chief, and full-time family man wasn’t quite enough. If you know Shawn, you know this guy does not stop moving. The man wrapped up his checkride, shook hands, grabbed his temp cert, and was already halfway over the hill before we could even snap a photo. He’s got about 12 things going on at once and somehow crushes all of them, honestly, someone nominate him for mayor.
His checkride got a little sporty, but no surprise, Shawn powered through like a pro. Huge congrats to him, and big shoutout to his CFI, Danny Britson, for getting him checkride-ready. Way to go, Shawn! You’ve officially added “Flight Instructor” to your already stacked résumé, and we’re lucky to have been part of your journey!
