Flying high - J’can Among Top US Fighter Pilots...US Commanding Officer Praises J’can-born Pilot

JAMAICAN-born Diego McKnight has been designated one of the best-trained and most highly-skilled pilots in the world. McKnight, at 25 and at one time the only black person in his squadron, has not only attained the Lieutenant Junior Grade in record time, but is now among an elite group of some 400 persons who can operate the Navy's MH-60 Romeo multi-mission helicopter, the world's most-advanced anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare helicopter.

"Aviation came pretty natural for me, and part of the reason for that is because I used to spend a great deal of time as a child playing flight simulator on video games."
