About Me

My Photo
Name: Sam
Location: Minneapolis, MN, United States

I'm a 28 yr old married guy from Minnesota who's a Captain for a small regional airline based in the Midwest. I've been flying for 15 years; my aviation career includes stints as a flight instructor, freight dog, and a few years flying Q400 turboprops for Horizon Air in Portland. Most of what I write here is about the aviation industry and what it's like to be a pilot working his way up through the lower echelons, but I also occasionally throw in stuff about my interests outside of aviation.
