On today's show Nick and I talked about:
How he discovered his desire to be a pilot in the military
His use of the VA and GI bill to pay for his school and flight training
What it is like living off shore flying helicopters in support of oil operations
Flying heavy lift helicopters for Columbia Helicopters
The training and testing for short haul and getting qualified to carry humans as external cargo
His new role as an EMS pilot in his home town.
Nick is passionate about aviation and what he is doing. He has a lot of great experience and advice in this show. It was a lot of fun catching up and I am excited to share his story with the world!
