  • Name: Kevin Crenshaw
  • Position: CFII
  • Home town:  Roanoke, Texas
  • Years of experience:  4 years
  • Favorite aircraft:  MD 500, UH-1H
  • Why did you become a professional helicopter pilot?  
I have always enjoyed flying, but really started loving it when I started skydiving.  Once I experienced flying without an airplane, I knew that flying a helicopter was the next best thing I could do.  Now I can land with zero airspeed.  Let’s see a fixed wing pilot do that!

 

  • What is your most memorable moment as a pilot? 
It would probably be the first time I got to take 3 of my kids up for a Christmas flight and see the lights around the DFW area from the air.  I think they got a kick out of that.
  • If you were to choose any other profession than this, what would it be and why? 
I would not change anything; I love exactly what I do.  I believe there is a Perfect plan for everyone, and I am definitely in that plan. 
  • How do you spend most of your time when you are not flying? 
I try to spend most of my time with my wife and kids, but when we are not together, I play all sports and love to go camping. 
  • If you could have any pilot job in the world, what would it be? 
I hope to fly search and rescue some day or possibly fly fire fighting missions in the mountains.
  • What are some other notable moments in your life? 
The most notable would have to be the day I asked Jesus Christ to be my personal Lord and Savior.  From that day on, I have known that I am no longer in control and I can just hang on for the ride.  The second would be when I married my best friend, Tiffany.  Of course, all the kids’ birth days run a close 3rd.
