After retiring from active duty in 2014, Jon “Huggy” Huggins made history when he became the first civilian instructor pilot to fly the iconic U-2 solo.  As a civilian Instructor, Huggins helped train the next generation of reconnaissance pilots at Beale Air Force Base.  

Beyond his military service, he is a familiar face throughout the West Coast aviation community as a talented pilot, mentor, and popular air show announcer, known for sharing his passion for aviation with audiences of all ages.
