I am a proud Army Aviator's Wife!Mike flying!
Since Mike started flight school after the Christmas break I have yet to give any kind of update, sorry. He is doing great! Exactly one year and one day after leaving for Basic Training Mike had his "Nickel Ride," which is his first flight. The words "unprecedented" were used by the Instructor Pilots! Mike got his hover, the first big milestone in flying, down on day 1. This is a huge deal, doesn't ever happen, is totally unheard of. Well it happens if you are Michael Maquet! Since then he has continued to do awesome even doing an emergency procedure, for reals, followed by a precautionary landing. That day he got to ride in a Huey! Michael is working extremely hard and I for one am uber impressed. He wakes up early, studies extremely hard, hits the gym, goes to class, flies a helicopter, plays with Ethan, spends time with me, and then does it all over again. June 7th is the projected date for graduating Primary and then he will go on to learn the airframe that he will fly, hopefully the Kiowa.
I will be better about keeping everyone updated!
