Hi Friends, This week we discuss preflight briefings and the importance of being ahead of the airplane. Grab a pen and take notes 'cause I'm giving it all away this week. These procedures will increase your safety. This podcast goes well with podcast #14 'Dead or Alive'. Enjoy!

Hi Friends, This week we discuss the Ninety-Nine's, one of the oldest organizations dedicated to women in aviation. Amelia Earhart was the first president of the Ninety-Nines's and since then their membership has grown to more than 6000 members world-wide. Torea Rodriguez, ninety-nines member and scholarship recipient tells us a little bit about their scholarship programs. Torea teaches at West Valley Flying Club in Palo Alto. Visit the 99's online at www.ninety-nines.org Fly Your Best, Jason
