Rudy Ribbeck deployed to Vietnam at 19, piloting a Huey helicopter. He was shot down three times and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Bronze Stars, and 53 Air Medals. In his second tour, he flew reconnaissance missions in fixed-wing aircraft. Returning to the US, Rudy served at STRICOM and was assigned to an Intelligence Field Station in Turkey with Top Secret Security Clearance.

In the final three years of his 20-year Army career, Rudy joined the elite US Army Golden Knights parachuting team.

Post-military, Rudy excelled as a private pilot for a NASCAR team, a commercial pilot for Northwest Airlines, and a private pilot in Singapore. He also worked for a local news station and served as Chief Pilot for US Helicopters, overseeing 48 news helicopters.

Today, Rudy flies a Cessna Grand Caravan at Skydive Carolina from Wednesday to Friday.
