Kyle Catlin, our esteemed DC-8 Chief Pilot, is stepping down from his role to pursue studies and gain a new real world aircraft type rating. Kyle joined DVA in 2006 and served in multiple staff roles over the years, serving as DC-8 Chief Pilot for the last 2 years. Kyle is a great example of a young person who joined DVA as a hobby and turned it into a real world aviation career. We appreciate Kyle’s many years of service and contributions to DVA and wish him all the best in his endeavors in aviation!
Thanks Kyle for your role here at DVA and the DC-8 program!
For the time being, I’ll be helping Adam with the DC-8 program (i.e. I’ll delegate him to do 99% of the work).

Uh oh. Andrew now has a fourth engine? He's probably laughing like Dr. Evil as we speak admiring his newly found takeoff thrust 
Kyle, thank you for all your contributions to DVA! Wishing you the best in your aviation endeavors!

Thanks everyone! Upgrading to Captain at my current airline and pursuing my Masters is keeping me pretty busy! I'll still be creeping around in the shadows flying my virtual Baby Boeing to new and exciting places.
