Ernie Rowlette - Air Commando - Pilot

Ernie is a humble "former" Air Commando (like Marines - there are NO former Air Commandos). Air Commandos are respectively called "Quiet Professionals" because USAF Air Commandos, unlike some other SpecOps Warriors, do their best to make sure their former Top Secret missions stay Top Secret instead of writing "tell-all" books or bragging ad nauseum about their accomplishments...

They simply know what they did, who they helped, and that is all that matters. Both to them and to the folks who they assisted. It wasn't about getting medals, a new tell-all book, or the accolades of civilians...it was simply about getting the mission done (and then having a cold beer with your Crew! - similar to here at NN News & the Fly Now! Networks where we try to stay focus on getting the Veteran Stories recorded)

Ernie has been flying some variant of the "Herk" or C-130 Hercules aircraft made by the United States of America's Lockheed Aircraft Company for more than 2 decades including tours with the British and tours in and out of the Air Force Special Operations Command. Ernie has accumulated more flying hours than most C-130 "Throttle Jockeys" out there and is still a very humble Aviator and gentleman.

His Dad, Barry, is also a pilot and is a U.S. Navy Veteran who owns a Smith Mini bi-plane. Barry didn't want to get on camera, so that might be why (when you see the complete Video on our Fly Now! TV channel) why it's framed by the US Navy's old one-of-a-kind water test Jet.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy this "radio" episode and please "tune-in" to Ernie's "TV" episode in the coming days (after I figure out the powerful Adobe Premiere Pro Film-maker's program better).

Keep 'em Flying!
