Luke Air Force Base - LAFB
After a very long drive, my dad and I finally made it to Phoenix, AZ. It's going to be an awesome place to live and fly! So far I haven't done too much besides move into my new house and chill out with some family in the area. The house is located in a nice place close to the base and has F-16s flying overhead a lot throughout the day. Thankfully it has a pool in the backyard to help deal with the heat! I'm headed to the base today to get my initial paperwork going and check in at my new squadron. I've been assigned to the 56th Fighter Wing, 63rd Fighter Squadron here at Luke AFB known as the Panthers. I'll be starting early next week with F-16 academics. It should be around a month or so before I start flying, and soon after that I'll have my first solo! I've had instructor pilots tell me their first solo in the fighter jet they were assigned to out of pilot training was the most memorable flight of their flying careers. I have an awesome 7-8 months of training ahead, and can hardly believe I'm going to be flying an F-16 around solo for the majority of the time! God's good!
