Introducing Our Assistant Editor-in-Chief (EIC) LT Quinn “Charity” Stanley, USN
H
ello! I am LT Quinn “Charity” Stanley and I am privileged to introduce myself as Grudge’s East Coast EIC Assistant! I’m currently an Instructor Pilot at HSC2 after completing my first sea tour at HSC-28 last year. Truthfully, I never expected to play a hand in the Rotor Review publication. After incredibly positive interactions with LCDR Mike “Bubbles” Short and LT Annie “Frizzle” Cutchen, I became very aware of the impact of Rotor Review. Not only does this publication serve the rotary wing community as a whole but also the individual members, some still learning to operate their Fleet aircraft and others who have logged countless flight hours and have stories to tell. I, like many readers, find myself somewhere in between and therefore enthralled by the prospect of a community so willing to share, and open to growth. This edition of Rotor Review is a special tribute to the heart of the aviation community, our maintainers. Most pilots are familiar with the motivating feeling of an on-time launch, despite the gremlins and bugs that attempt to slow us down. Luckily, our community is blessed with some of the hardest working Sailors who take pride in their work and get our aircraft off-deck. That pride directly bolsters the ideals represented by ADM Franchetti and her emphasis on “maintain[ing] the world’s most powerful Navy” and our very own NHA Symposium theme of “Be Ready.” Please enjoy some fantastic pieces from around the rotary wing community that touch on many thought provoking topics, highlighting the importance of a community that shares and continues to grow.
