Kerri Ballard is a pilot who’s worn many hats in her career: flight instructor, fire bomber, world champion skier, and captain for Alaska Airlines. Like many pilots who’ve gone before us, and even some we’re lucky enough to call mentors and inspirations, the more we get to know Kerri, the more “cool factor” she has. Kerri’s humble heart and expertise is a draw for any young pilot who's lucky enough to meet her. We’re thrilled for her to share part of her story on this week’s episode. https://www.flymauihi.com/ Vacationing in Hawaii? Book a flight with an experienced instructor and see Maui from above!
