About Kevin Escobedo
For over 13 years I have been flying amazing airplanes and leading even better people in the world’s greatest Air Force. I have taught numerous student pilots the basics of flying and have led a brand-new air refueling crew into combat operations in the dark of night. I have rebuilt stagnating programs, revamped antiquated processes, and built teams from the ground-up in ever increasing scope and size of responsibility. I have stepped up to every challenge given to me and tackled it with acute attention to detail, shrewd critical thinking, and just plain hard work. On the flying side, I have logged over mishap/incident free hours, with over 1600 hours Pilot In Command time in military multi-engine turbine aircraft. I hold an unrestricted Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and continue my military aviation career serving in the Alabama Air National Guard.Having fulfilled my dream of flying and serving in the Air Force, I have boldly embarked on the next chapter of my career - flying for American Airlines! With an aviation/project management skillset and an engineering education and mindset, I eagerly enter the airline industry open to the experiences which lie ahead-Airline Transport Pilot: Airplane Multi-Engine Land, UnrestrictedCommercial Rating: Airplane Single Engine LandCertificated Flight Instructor: Airplane Multi-Engine Land & InstrumentType Ratings: A-320, B-707, B-720, BE-400, MU-300FAA First Class Medical – No limitations (September 2025)FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit
