News anchor turned jet pilot! This MEI runs her consulting business, and donates her twin Comanche to help others. Sounds like a dream life! What are the challenges?

Aviation has allowed her to do more of what she loves: to give. She and her husband use their MEI ratings and their twin Comanche to train others who need the rating to further their careers.
