Ever wondered what it takes to become a Canadian fighter pilot? Today we chat with Major Brian “Humza” Kilroy, a CF-18 Hornet pilot and instructor on the T-346 Master at Italy’s International Flight Training School.
Brian takes us through his journey from growing up in Alberta and joining the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, to earning his RCAF pilot wings at Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training in Texas. He shares highlights from flying the CF-18 Hornet with 409 and 401 Tactical Fighter Squadrons, training future fighter pilots at 410 Tactical Fighter Operational Training Squadron, and performing as the RCAF CF-18 Demo Pilot at airshows across North America.
We also hear his firsthand experiences flying combat missions on Op Impact against ISIS, NATO deployments on Op Reassurance in Romania, and the thrill (and pressure) of representing Canada abroad.
If you love aviation, airshows, or military history, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
