All Things Aviation & Aerospace

Recently, I visited the Tuskegee Airmen inspired RedTail Flight Academy located about 90 minutes north of New York City at Stewart International Airport. As an extra special opportunity, the first female and Black female South African Helicopter pilot, Refilwe Ledwaba from Johannesburg, who was in New York for the UN Climate Conference representing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as a Goalkeeper, joined me as my guest co-host.
The conversations that we had with the three impressive aspiring aviators as well as the head of flight operations and safety was simply amazing. Besides this webcast being quite informative and providing insight on yet another path to becoming a professional aviator, it was very uplifting and inspiring.
In addition to Refilwe Ledwaba, my RedTail Flight Academy guests included Tanya Austin, Operations and Safety Manager; Mya Coley, Certified Flight Instructor and Program Manager Assistant; Mischa Harrigan, a Scholarship Recipient, Engineering Major, and a Private Pilot working on her Instrument Rating; and Marvin Mungo, a Scholarship Recipient, Real Estate Agent and a Student Pilot.
