Childhood dream becomes reality for Navy pilot

U.S. Navy Lt. Samuel Deedy, a pilot assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 135, Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Wash., communicates with aircrew members through his mask in an EA-18G Growler aircraft along with Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Flt. Lt. Conrad Stalling, an electronic warfare officer assigned to RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales, attached to VAQ-135, NAS Whidbey Island, Wash., Aug. 16, 2016, during RED FLAG-Alaska 16-3, at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. Deedy received his pilot’s license from Palmer, Alaska more than nine years ago and said flying the EA-18G Growler is very different than flying a Cessna 152.
