Marine Corps Maj. Aaron Nutter, a pilot with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS), performs a pre-flight inspection on a UC-35D Cessna before takeoff at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, May 19, 2021. May 22, 2021 will mark 109 years since Marine Corps Lt. Alfred A. Cunningham reported to the Naval Academy for flight training, becoming the first Marine aviator. Nutter gives us his thoughts on what it is like to be a pilot. “Great, a dream come true,’ said Nutter. It’s an absolute honor and privilege to support Marines and the mission.”
