Joe is a distinguished Colorado-based attorney, aviator and speedster. After beginning his legal practice in 1971 and soloing as a pilot in 1974, he became a prominent figure in the vintage warbird community, competing in the National Championship Air Races with first-place finishes in the Silver and Bronze classes. Beyond his competitive success, Thibodeau holds a “Level 3” FAA Statement of Aerobatic Competency and has frequently performed at airshows to inspire and educate others about aviation. Don’t miss out on this fascinating topic and life story!
