Takeoff on a unique journey with our latest podcast episode featuring Victoria “V” Ross, a certificated pilot, who went from having zero interest in aviation to embracing a fulfilling career with the best office view in the skies .

It all started with a father and daughter bonding experience that was part of a much bigger plan. Call it parent’s intuition, V’s father knew she would love a career as a pilot if he could just give her a glimpse of what it was like. He was right! V joins us to share how his plan unfolded and ultimately lead her to the coveted role of a pilot.

In this episode, V discusses the challenges and triumphs that marked her path, aspects of pilot training, and advice for the next generation of pilots. She also reflects on her experience as a Black woman pilot and how she is breaking barriers and fostering diversity in the aviation community by mentoring others. 

Share this episode with colleagues, friends, and family. Whether you dream of ascending to new heights as a pilot or are simply fascinated by other people’s journeys, this episode is a must-listen.
