About Shane Watson

Highly motivated and diversely experienced retired military evaluator pilot/contracting officer/manager with over 26 years experience. I have served as an Aircraft Commander/PIC on both the C-141B and C-17A where I successfully managed diverse crew demographics and global challenges to meet strict timetables and mission goals. I hold FAA Multi-Engine Airline Transport Pilot and Single-Engine Commercial/Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument certificates with flight experience in the T-37, T-1, C-141, C-17, T-6 and Grob 120TP aircraft, to include air refueling, airdrop, night vision, instructor, evaluator and combat qualifications. Additionally, I have provided over 12 years of dual instruction as a primary flight instructor for US and International students enrolled in the USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training program and the US Army Fixed Wing Training Program. I have managed multiple airlift stage operations supporting CONUS Presidential operations and OCONUS wartime efforts, both types utilizing a diverse fleet of Air Force mobility aircraft. I have 6 years of Government Acquisitions/Contracting experience both at the Installation and Program Office levels, culminating in a Level APDP for Contracting and a Level I for Program Management.
