“I am glad I discovered your podcast. Extremely insightful, nicely varied topics and fantastic guests. I especially liked episode 294 with Chad Kendall. I believe my flight instructor was a colleague of Mr. Kendall at Metropolitan State University in Denver.
I retired from the US Navy in 2018 after 20 years of working in nuclear power. While on an overseas trip, I met a FEDEX pilot in the hotel lobby of the Narita Hilton.
After a nice chat, I knew my career goal – fly cargo.
Fast forward to present day – recently obtained my PPL and working towards follow on ratings. I turn 41 in less than a week.
My question – is a goal of becoming a cargo pilot too far fetched of an idea at my age?
Keep up the fantastic work. I look forward to each new episode!
Thanks,”
