Sam Eckholm is an active duty U.S. Air Force Officer. He graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2018 before being selected to travel with the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team as their photographer, videographer, and social media lead. In our conversation with Sam, we discuss his experience working with the F-22 Raptor Demo Team for two show seasons, his approach to content creation and social media, growing the demo team's Instagram following from 13K followers to over 230K, and developing resiliency while pursuing opportunities and sharing experiences in life.
Finally, at the end of the podcast, Sam answers the Final Project question: "When Sam Eckholm's Project is complete, what will he be most proud of? How will he want to be remembered?"

ABOUT THE TEAM: The F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team performs precision aerial maneuvers at airshows across the world to demonstrate the unique capabilities of the world's premier 5th generation fighter aircraft. The team also performs with the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation to showcase modern day fighter jets flying in formation with World War II, Korean, and Vietnam era aircraft.
ABOUT THE F-22: The F-22 Raptor is the Air Force's premier 5th generation fighter aircraft. Its combination of stealth, supercruise, extreme maneuverability, and integrated avionics represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities. The Raptor performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions that are vital to the 21st century Air Force. The F-22, a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to rapidly project air dominance at great distances while defeating threats attempting to deny access to our nation's Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft.
