Moustaches and Pilots, An All American Event

It’s The 2013 All American Moustache Contest & Student BBQ,
“IF YOU MOUSTACHE”

Moustaches and Pilots dominated the all American event and once again everyone had a feast during Guidance Aviation’s September Student BBQ. During the event, new students were recognized while current students and staff members were acknowledged for their accomplishments.

Most notable was the 2013 All American Moustache Contest that took place during the Guidance Aviation student BBQ. Who was the winner? Well, “IF YOU MOUSTACHE”, here is the answer in this epic, stiff upper lipped production by Guidance Aviation.  Make sure to WAIT FOR IT, WAIT FOR IT, at the very end the winner gets his tiara!!

Congratulations to Jason Martin, CFI-I, Guidance Aviation. Jason has been crowned as our 2013 All American Moustache Winner.  Also noteworthy was the participation of Curtis “On A Stick” Marshall, CFI-I, Guidance Aviation.
