Wonderful day Royal Military Academy Sandhurst with the King (our Colonel-in-Chief) congratulating all the Officer Cadets of CC222 on their commissioning and our Colonel Commandant welcoming five new officers to the The Army Air Corps family. #FlyArmy π
Our desert flight. What an absolute privilege. Thank you Qatar Balloon Festival #TeamEagle #FlyArmy .
A 0330hrs launch in the Qatar desert for a 1.5hr flight. Sadly the retrieve crew got stuck in sand 5kms away. The balloon was made safe & #TeamEagle navigated on foot to an unmanned research station 2 miles away before being rescued 4hrs later. Fantastic (& exciting) day.
Wonderful second flight Qatar Balloon Festival What an experience and privilege for #TeamEagle flying G-LAAC (the The Army Air Corps balloon) over this amazing country. Thank you again for the invitation.
#TeamEagle Chief Pilot & G-LAAC are proud to have been pre-selected to attend the 3rd Edition of Qatar Balloon Festival
The chance to fly over the incredible city of Doha & its beautiful surrounding desert is a challenge & a privilege. We will be in the skies from 19-28 Jan 23. #FlyArmy
No pressure! Soldiers from 651 Sqn's Ground Support Flight watch on as a member of 652 Sqn's rear crew is assessed on their accuracy for lowering an underslung load onto a confined area.

Congratulations to Matt Thomas for being awarded the Daz Erry Trophy as the Top Student on the Army Flying Grading course that finished yesterday.
Max is an ex-Metropolitan Police officer & starts Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the New Year & hopes to become an The Army Air Corps pilot. Good luck. π
A long day yesterday, but fantastic to meet such inspiring young soldiers from all sorts of trades & capbadges at our Pilot Selection Board. Those selected will start flying training in 2023 & become our next generation of NCO AH and Wildcat pilots. Good luck #FlyFightLead π
