Leading 40+ Airplanes

 

Flight Lead is responsible for navigation, communication, formation integrity, safety, leadership and overall flight control. Leading a group of 40 plus airplanes from point a to point b is not a simple task. It's even more stressful when your destination is the largest aviation celebration in the world. Cherokee Lead is great a responsibility and an honor. Thank you to all of our leads, past and present for getting us there safely.

 

 

Our 2026 Cherokee Lead is Andrew Howard
