Indy 500 Flyover

“Flying over the track at the Indy 500 was truly an incredible experience. I was beaming with pride that the 38th Combat Aviation Brigade could execute this mission and represent the Indiana National Guard and the United States Army on such a public stage. Hearing the sound of the crowd from the cockpit as we flew around the track is a memory none of us will ever forget.”

A full-length portrait of a smiling soldier standing on a tarmac directly in front of a large, dark green military helicopter. The soldier wears full operational camouflage pattern (OCP) uniform, tactical vest gear, and holds a radio or equipment attached to his chest vest. The helicopter's cockpit door on the left side is wide open, exposing the interior cabin. The shot is captured in soft, bright daylight with a clear background.
Another day at the office. 🚁💼

“My faith, my family and the incredible people I get to work with truly inspire me. I love wearing the uniform every day, and being part of something so much bigger than myself is truly an honor.”
