Three years ago, on September 5th, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Joseph Rosamond was the pilot in command of a California Air National Guard CH-47 that rescued hundreds of trapped campers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The campers were cut off and surrounded by wildfires. The actions of CW5 Rosamond, his crew, and a fellow UH-60 Blackhawk crew risked their lives to land and recover 242 individuals in the Mammoth Pools. Despite local, state, and Homeland Security officials advising against them attempting a rescue they pressed forward, knowing they might not return. For their actions, the 7 crew members were awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses. This episode originally aired back in 2020. Stay tuned for a follow-up interview with CW5 Rosamond.

In this episode we sit down with Kelsie Hancock who's fiancé, Capt Nick Losapio, was killed in Marine Corps MV-22 mishap in June of 2022. Nick was a graduate of Norwich University and had served in the United States Marine Corps for over eight years. Nick was on his way to fly at HMX-1 which is responsible for airlifting the President of the United States. I met Kelsie at the Guns Garin Memorial Golf tournament (GGMF) and for fortunate to learn a little bit about her and Nick. Thanks to GGMF for hosting me and E3 Aviation Association and allowing us to share the amazing work they are accomplishing. In the last 18 months the ⁠Guns Garin Memorial Foundation⁠ has given away over $150,000 to veteran families in need and are on track to give away their 20th flight school scholarship. They are passionately committed to their mission to care uniquely for veterans and their families, and inspire the next generation of pilots. Major Richard Charles “GUNS” Garin (Rick) was a loving, dedicated, and accomplished person who made the world a better place wherever he went. He was an incredible husband, father, brother, son, friend, and pilot. "Guns" was an F-16 Fighter Pilot/Weapons Officer at McEntire Air National Guard Base and passed away suddenly in July of 2020. Several of his friends and wife came together and founded GGMF. The Guns Garrin Memorial Foundation has two missions. First, we are here to support local military families during times of hardship. Second, the foundation exists to help educate and encourage youth to explore a career in aviation. This organization was founded to honor his life and to inspire other young aspiring pilots to follow in his footsteps. The members of our board see the importance of preserving his memory through the efforts of the Foundation.

In this episode we sit down with Kelly Garin who shares more about who Rick "Guns" Garin was as a husband, father, and more. In the last 18 months the Guns Garin Memorial Foundation has given away over $150,000 to veteran families in need and are on track to give away their 20th flight school scholarship. They are passionately committed to their mission to care uniquely for veterans and their families, and inspire the next generation of pilots. Guns Garin Memorial Foundation: https://gunsgarin.com/ Major Richard Charles “GUNS” Garin (Rick) was a loving, dedicated, and accomplished person who made the world a better place wherever he went. He was an incredible husband, father, brother, son, friend, and pilot. "Guns" was an F-16 Fighter Pilot/Weapons Officer at McEntire Air National Guard Base and passed away suddenly in July of 2020. Several of his friends and wife came together and founded GGMF. The Guns Garrin Memorial Foundation has two missions. First, we are here to support local military families during times of hardship. Second, the foundation exists to help educate and encourage youth to explore a career in aviation. This organization was founded to honor his life and to inspire other young aspiring pilots to follow in his footsteps. The members of our board see the importance of preserving his memory through the efforts of the Foundation.
