Summary

Halley Bowers didn’t grow up around aviation. She was a first-generation pilot, originally pursuing college and marketing, until one discovery flight changed the direction of her life. In this episode of Pilots Say What, Halley shares how she went from testing the waters at a Part 61 flight school to moving seven hours away from home to continue her training at Thrust Flight. She talks about the transition into full-time flight training, what it was like switching from traditional six-pack instruments to G1000 avionics, and how she eventually became a Certified Flight Instructor.
