Comment | Don "Rhett" Butler reached an incredible 4,000 flight hours in the F-16. He spent 20 years in the USAF as an F-16 pilot, then went on to work for Lockheed Martin as a civilian F-16 instructor, evaluator and test pilot. He joined Top Aces in September 2023 and is currently their Site Lead at Luke AFB providing advanced ADAIR training to USAF 5th Gen pilots — and it was during a recent mission that he hit his 4,000th flight hour! | ||
