What does it take to make it through Phase II Flight Training at Moose Jaw? What is it like to fly into Baghdad in a C-17? How do you takeoff in formation and stay safe in the clouds?

Lauren has flown all over the world in the RCAF’s largest aircraft, the CC-177 Globemaster (C-17). She has also instructed in Moose Jaw as both a military flight instructor on the Harvard and as a civilian on the simulator. Lauren is intimately familiar with what it takes not just to make it through, but to crush Phase II and to be a great pilot!

Lauren talks about the Phase II course and the attitudes that can help you or hold you back in military aviation. She also talks about the advantages military flying can give you if you eventually decide to fly in the airlines!
