Welcome back for Episode 5 of the Fly the Transition!

In this podcast we explore the aviation industry and how more and more people transition into second careers as pilots, controllers, content creators, and so much more. So, where did they come from? What were they doing before? What made them realize and chase their dreams? We find out right here, on Fly the Transition.

I'm joined by Youtube's Taking Off Co-Host Christy Wong! 

Christy talks about her upbringing and lack of access to aviation as a child, but that didn't stop her from being bit early by the aviation bug. A book given to her by her grandfather as a young girl sparked her interest in aviation. 

Christy overcame many challenges to become one of the first in her family to graduate college, and did so with two degrees and acceptance into Pre-med. Christy would go into the sciences instead, working in the field of allergies. 

Christy never lost her spark for aviation. She knew her heart belonged in the sky and she would chase that dream. Now, Christy is a successful pilot with Envoy, an aviation celebrity with her role on Taking Off, and she hopes to continue to give back and inspire others.
