Dave Hoblit attended UC Davis and after graduation joined the United States Air Force due to the draft during Vietnam. Dave attended pilot school in both Texas and Oklahoma before he was based out of Travis Air Force Base. As a pilot for the next three years, Dave flew a C141 -Revolutionary Plane making several classified missions to Iran, Vietnam and Madrid. He was also instrumental in taking the time to get supplies to various destinations from 54 hours down to only 16 hours. His first flight was around the world in only five days - a classified mission to Iran. Dave also flew several trips hauling arms to company bases. Dave was in Saigon 2 weeks prior to the collapse in 1975 by the People's Army of Vietnam and The National Liberation Front. He returned to Colusa after his tour, joined the Reserves for another 6 years and entered into the family business with his father Wayne Hoblit at Hoblit Motors. The photo above is a plane similar to one that he few during Vietnam. Dave is currently the Owner and President at Hoblit Motors. Thank you for serving us!
