It is extremely rare for a pilot to complete two military flight schools, but Chuck Moore did just that. He first went to the US Army flight school in 1967. Due to the high demand for helicopter pilots for the Vietnam War, they were accepting high school graduates.

After the war, he attended college on the GI Bill, qualifying him for the US Navy flight school. His father would have been very proud because he was a B-24 radio operator in WW2, earning a Distinguished Flying Cross. Unfortunately, he was not alive to share the experience of his son becoming a combat pilot.

It would have been an amazing experience to fly together in Chuck’s airplane and helicopter in Alaska. If you know a Vietnam infantry combat veteran, ask him about the Cobra gunships and how they felt when they showed up on the battlefield.

Author : Moore, Chuck

Chuck Moore was born in rural West Virginia, grew up in New Mexico, and has lived in the small town of Willow, Alaska, for the past thirty years. He began his aviation career in the US Army as a teenager, flying in combat before the age of twenty-one, and was awarded two Silver Star medals for heroism. Since then, he has accumulated many thousands of hours of flight time and more than fifty years of experience. As a civilian flight instructor, he has taught flying skills to hundreds of pilots in small planes, and as a military instructor, pilot trained others in passenger jets and helicopters. He especially enjoys taking people on their first helicopter ride. They are always amazed at how different the experience is from flying in an airplane.
