Meet Lt Lawless & 2/Lt Curran. Yesterday they graduated from their Initial Entry Rotary Wing Course at the US Army Aviation Centre of Excellence @Ft_Rucker.

They become the first @IrishAirCorps pilots to be awarded the US Army Aviator Badge.

See below thread for more.....⬇️
Both officers commenced their course in August 2020 with 54 classmates including 11 international students. After flying 120hrs on the UH-72, 19 Academic exams & 6 flight line check rides, both Irish students topped their class rankings achieving 1st & 2nd in their section 🏆
They will now return to 🇮🇪 & after quarantine begin their operational careers with #302SQN.

We would like to thank the staff at @110thAvnBde for their noted professionalism during this course.

And finally congratulations to Eric & Sean.....you have done yourselves proud!
