Aero Linx: Flying Dentists Association
The Flying Dentists Association is a professional and social association devoted to continuing dental education combined with aviation and family fun. We believe there are skills common to dentistry and flying and Flying Dentist Association members are more successful and better practitioners. We earn a lot of dental and aviation continuing education and learn from each other, but it’s more then that. We are family that share the interests of dentistry and flying.
"The Chinook has served as the backbone of U.S. Army aviation since the Vietnam era, revolutionizing how we move troops and supplies in combat, and save lives and deliver aid in times of need. The latest F-model has ushered in a new era of heavy-lift capability for the U.S. Army. With continued technology insertions, I fully expect that 50 years from now there will be a centennial celebration for Chinooks still in service."
