Our guest this week is Erika Armstrong. With a following of over 400,000 aviation enthusiasts, Erika is a pilot, VP of Business for Advanced Aircrew Academy, and Professor at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. In 2000, Armstrong released her first book, “A Chick in the Cockpit”, where she shares her life journey in becoming a pilot and the adventures she has had along the way. She is currently working on a second book, The Art of Being a Pilot, which will hit the bookshelves soon.
In addition to her incredible career, Erika is a mother of two and an advocate for women in aviation. At her core, she loves aviation and is an inspiration to women. In this podcast conversation, Erika talks to me about the cost of being a woman.
