Question
Why did you pick this career?
Tara, I was raised on a small airport and by the age of 10 or so I knew I wanted to have a career as a pilot. My Father and his brother were both pilots. One of my sons is also a pilot.
Its a great way to make a living if you enjoy flying and can adjust to the life style.
Good luck, Ned
