Mr Rogers began as the first officer progressing through the ranks quickly to become the most senior Captain.

His many accomplishments as a training instructor, check airman and most importantly sharing his knowledge thru tutoring and developing our junior pilots, providing the example of what it means to be a pilot. Captain Hodge, a pillar in the flight department, provided all our staff the example of how we can better work together for a common goal.

His passion, commitment and love of flying complimented his work. This resulted in him taking people under his wing, sharing his knowledge and skill resulting in many of us being better employees and people.

It is time now for Captain Hodge to enjoy a very well-deserved retirement, but knowing our Captain, he will always available and continue sharing his experiences with the younger generation, always inspiring people to develop themselves.

We at WINAIR say thank you Roger for your years of dedicated service!
