Professional Pilot magazine visits 917th Wing
Jack Sykes, art director, Professional Pilot magazine, proves you can perform a “crash and burn” scenario in an A-10 simulator, as he inadvertently rolls his jet into the ground during a familiarization session at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Dec. 10, 2010. Mr. Sykes, under the professional tutelage of Capt. Grant McCall, standardization and evaluations liaison officer, 47th Fighter Squadron, recovered from his death defying act of courage and went on to down a bogie during his visit to the 47th FS, bringing his final results to one won and one lost. Mr. Sykes was at Barksdale gathering information and taking photos for a story about the professional pilots of the 917th Wing for an upcoming issue of the Professional Pilot magazine to be published in early 2011.
