Sgt. Kyle Pope, an Army CH-47 crew chief with the 1-111th Aviation Battalion, B Company conducts a communications check during pre-flight inspections at the Orlando Executive Airport, Fla., June 5, 2022. Florida National Guardsmen performed a flyby during the 2022 Special Olympics opening ceremony. The three helicopter crews demonstrated their dedication to both their service and their community as they flew by the stadium during the National Anthem.
“With a lot of things as citizen soldiers of the Florida National Guard we like to contribute to our local communities, not just in hurricanes and fire fighting, but in events like this to show that we are there for them 100% of the time. Whether that's aviation or ground forces, we are always there and always ready,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Vern Pritchard, CH-47F Instructor Pilot with the 1-111th. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. N.W.
