Well-observed and well-said! This is a quote which should be included in the next Top Gun movie!

Such a powerful initiative for us, aimed at empowering Indigenous residents and women in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. This program is made possible through a collaborative partnership with Rise Air, Cameco Corporation, Orano, SSR Mining Inc., and Prince Albert Grand Council, Prince Albert, SK. Special thanks to our funders Prairies Economic Development Canada I Développement économique Canada pour les Prairies and Government of Saskatchewan Ministry of Immigration and Career Training. The program will provide full funding and a pathway to success in aviation for the selected participants. The Dziret’ái Pilot Training Program offers aspiring pilots a comprehensive pathway to earn their wings and the opportunity to begin their careers as First Officers with Rise Air upon completion. The program will admit fifteen successful applicants into the Elevated Skills Program, a fully funded skills and upgrading component running from mid-September to December. Following this phase, ten students will be selected to enter the pilot training program starting in January 2025. Efforts will focus on training and employing Indigenous residents and women, who are under-represented in aviation. The program is not just a leap forward for aspiring pilots; it is a significant step in addressing the critical pilot shortage that also impacts the mining sector in northern Saskatchewan. All mines in the Athabasca Basin rely heavily on air transportation to connect with remote communities and urban centres like Saskatoon and Prince Albert. This shortage directly affects the operations of our partners, making this initiative an essential investment in the region's economic infrastructure. The launch of the Dziret’ái Pilot Training Program is a testament to the power of collaboration and the shared vision of YNLR, our partners, and government bodies. By investing in the future of aviation in the Athabasca Basin, we are fostering economic growth and sustainability, ensuring that our communities remain connected and our industries continue to thrive. Online applications are now closed. We thank all who showed interest.

5.5 kg of happiness!✈️ Yes, that's how much the MINI SHARK weighs—it's easy to hold overhead and even easier to launch into the sky. With a 2-hour flight duration combined with a powerful camera and compact size, it ensures high efficiency for reconnaissance missions within a radius of up to 35 km. #MINISHARK: Lightweight. Powerful. Reliable.

Drop night! Pilot to aircraft reveal... For the record, and to put this in perspective...there are more astronauts on the planet than there are B-2 pilots. As one of the, if not the most feared aircraft on the planet, with approximately 80 pilots that can fly the B-2. Each aircraft has a crew of two, a pilot in the left seat and mission commander in the right, and has provisions for a third crew member if needed. For comparison, the B-1B has a crew of four and the B-52 has a crew of five.

Safer skies start with better training. Better training starts with high quality effective and efficient #flight training devices.

Mission Rehearsal = Mission Readiness 🤝 Distributed Mission Training isn’t just a tool—it’s a game-changing capability. With DMT, F-35 pilots can conduct mission rehearsal training and safely execute high-threat scenarios in a virtual environment, connecting with aircraft around the world. Whether it’s an F-22 pilot in Virginia or Hawaii, they can seamlessly join F-35 pilots for large-force training, ready for any mission, at any time.

"Recently, I found myself watching a documentary on the U.S. Navy Blue Angels on Amazon Prime. The Blue Angels are renowned for their breathtaking maneuvers, flying just inches apart from each other at remarkable speeds. Yet, even these elite pilots aren’t immune to the punishing forces of nature. Picture a fresh Blue Angels pilot facing G-forces in mid-flight. Despite their skill level or years of experience leading up to this flight, the sheer intensity of the maneuvers pulls blood away from their brain, putting them at risk of blacking out mid-flight. In many ways, businesses face a similar pressure. Without steady cash flow, the lifeblood of any company, organizations can “blackout” and lose control in the middle of our ever-changing industry."

Whether it is a matter of reaching a summit to determine a change of direction, fuel consumption or reaching a turning point, or simply calculating the duration of a flight, the watch and the aviator have always been intimately linked. ➡️ Discover the Startimer Pilot Quartz Chronograph Big Date: https://lnkd.in/dUg8qZnX #StartimerCollection #Chronograph #BigDate #PilotWatch #Legacy #SwissWatch
