On this episode I have the privilege of speaking with former Navy SEAL and Special operations helicopter pilot, Michael Rutledge. Mike has been a passionate aviator his whole life and while actively serving in the military, he pursued a career as an Ag Aviator.  After 30 years of service he is now running his own aerial application business.  We discuss his military career and how his experiences there helped in becoming a successful ag pilot. Mentorship is something Mike takes very serious so we dive into what the mentor mentee relationship should be like.  Big thanks to our sponsor Amberican Designs check out Travis's products at ambericandesigns.com .  Make sure to keep up with me on Instagram or Facebook @valleyagpilot  Thanks for tuning into the Ag Aviator Podcast!
