Fly Allyssa. Allyssa was bit by the aviation bug when she took a helicopter tour of Hawaii during a vacation there.  Alyssa is currently using her COVID-19 quarantine time to study for her instrument rating. In our conversation, we address the challenges of flight training, the extraordinary pride she felt when she passed her check ride, the surprising perspective that aviation gives her in flight and in life, personal minimums, time management, the wonderful aviation community, finding opportunities in unexpected setbacks and the importance of priorities.  Allyssa also shares some of her aviation story and anecdotes, including that one time she stayed overnight in the FBO. This is a fun conversation with an awesome lady and pilot! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed chatting with Fly Allyssa. You can connect with Allyssa on IG and you can listen to the podcast she does with Natalie Kelley, Cockpits and Cocktails Theme music by Diego Jinkus.
