Rory Lipsett

Rory is a founding member of the Wings of War team. Aviation plays a major part of Rory’s life. Rory holds ratings as Commercial Rotorcraft Helicopter Pilot, CFII, along with multiple helicopter type ratings and brings a wealth of aviation knowledge and management skills to the team. He is also a rated airplane pilot and can sometimes be seen beating up the patch in his 1939 Fairchild F-24R. He is employed by the Eastern ARNG Aviation Training Site, where he conducts qualification training in the UH-60 M/V Blackhawk helicopter. When he is not flying helicopters or airplanes, Rory likes spend time with his wife, Jennifer and their dog Callie where they enjoy fly-fishing, skiing, camping, or anything outdoors.
