Warbirds Unlimited welcomes Dr. Mike Pfleger to the foundation. Mike will be piloting the Warbirds Unlimited AT-6C in the Reno Championship Air Races.
Mike Pfleger has enjoyed the thrills of flying some of the USA’s most iconic military aircraft: trainers such as the Boeing Stearman and North American T-6 Texan, fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, F4U Corsair and FM-2 Wildcat, and jets such as the T-33, F-86 Sabre and the Russian MiG-15. Pfleger’s love of flying began when his father, a former pilot, took him as a kid to watch planes at the airport and taught him to draw them and build plastic and balsa-wood models. As he got older, Mike rode his bicycle and later his motorbike to local airports in Tulsa, Okla to hang around restoration shops where WWII planes and early jets were being reborn. He learned all he could about flying and obtained his private plot license in gliders at age 16. FAA vision requirements at the time didn’t allow him to pursue a military or airline pilot career, so after high school Pfleger earned a bachelor’s in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Oklahoma State University before working as a performance/flight test engineer at GE Aircraft Engines in Cincinnati. He continued flying, racing and towing gliders and enjoying tailwheel classics like the J-3 Cub, Cessna L-19 and Piper Pawnee. Pfleger also learned basic aerobatics in planes like the Bellanca Citabria and Decathlon. It was a flying club member who was an ER physician who interested him in a career in medicine. Pfleger attended the University of Cincinnati Medical School, and his residency in emergency medicine brought him to Phoenix, where he has put down roots. After the medical school bills were paid off, he was able to purchase a North American T-6 in which he accumulated more than 900 hours through formation flying, aerobatics and racing at Reno."
