Welcome to Episode 78. Aviation is a challenging and rewarding career. Some want to fly for the airlines and others seek a challenging flying environment dedicated to helping others. Many listeners have written me and feel Mission Aviation Fellowship would fulfill your need to serve others while living the dream of being a “bush” pilot.Today I have with me Ron Hilbrands from Mission Aviation Fellowship. Ron is the manager of recruiting for MAF where he is responsible for six other recruiters to meet the organizations overseas needs.
