Top Gun Meets the VLJ
Colonel Michael Press, retired Air Force Top Gun has entered the mix with the new Very Light Jet category of civilian light transport jets.
Single-Pilot Jet Management, LLC is his new company and as the name suggests, Mr. Press has designed a training program for new pilots and owners of these VLJ's. I have suggested, in my blog, that the door is wide open for this business concept and now it seems someone else has seen the merit of such a training program.
Mr. Press' resume suggests that the right person has come along at the right time to inaugurate the right training program. The Colonel has not only flown almost every fighter built by the Air Force, but has honorably served our country with combat distinctions such as: Legion of Merit, 2-Distinguish Flying Crosses, 13-Air Medals, Humanitarian Medal, numerous campaign ribbons and unit awards.
His experience designing Single Pilot course materials and syllabi for Military fighter pilots should translate nicely to elevated pilot and safety awareness for the new crop of VLJ pilots. Colonel Press developed the now ubiquitous moniker, SA or situational awareness that has become the foundation of almost every aviation training program in the world.
Mike Press' website has been linked to mine; www.microjetsinc.com, where he can be contacted.
I plan to have more on his programs in the following weeks.
