Kristyn also has a tailwheel endorsement, and an SIC rating in the Citation 500 and she is currently working on reinstating her CFI rating. In today’s Episode, Kristyn and I talk about what it was like to do her flight training as a teenager on a military base, survival training in the freezing cold and snow in Canada, about the challenging twists and turns that had Kristyn step away from aviation for years while she built a successful and rewarding business that allowed her to get herself and her children in a good situation where she was able to become an aircraft owner, get back in aviation, build her hours and get ready for what’s next in her aviation journey, which will soon include an aircraft ferrying service. Kristyn is all about inspiring and empowering women and girls in pursuing and achieving whatever they want in their aviation careers. Kristyn’s story is inspiring and it was truly a privilege to  have Kristyn share her story on this episode.
