Have you ever wondered how many pilots got into aviation? Some grew up with a parent who was a pilot, others saw planes in the sky and grew fascinated with their trajectory through the sky. No matter how a pilot found the industry, many agree that the best way to see if pursing a career as pilot is right for you is to take a discovery flight. Come along as we show a recent experience on a discovery flight and learn how to sign up for one yourself (or a friend)!

We sat down with former LIFT Academy student/instructor and current Republic Airways First Officer Colton Tribby to discuss his flight training experience after he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a pilot.
