【Let’s listen to what he has to say】
I was an Army helicopter pilot. As I retired from military service, I knew I can do something good with the skill of mine, so I took the government exam. I am fortunate to do what I am best at to help people as a member of the Airborne Service Corps. I have been flying for the Corps for more than four years, and every rescue mission is a challenge since none of them is the same. There are many types of rescue, rescue at sea, search and rescue in the mountains, medical evacuation and air transportation. Each and every one of them is a challenge to what you can do, and I have learned the skills and accumulated the experience to make myself a better pilot. Every time I complete a mission, I feel I have done something meaningful, which makes me happy about what I do and love to fly.
