With over 35 years in the aerospace industry, now working as President of KF Aerospace, which serves as a maintenance, cargo, military flight training and aircraft leasing organization right here in Kelowna. Tracy Medve and I chat about her career in aviation and how she has traveled the globe consulting for major airlines and was formerly President of Canadian North Airlines. She’s received multiple accolades within the industry and was inducted as an Honorary Life Member of the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC). Hear her journey of a passion for aviation, a change into studying law, to finding her way back to aviation.
We discuss what goes on behind the curtain at an airport and how flight and baggage delays are not something that the airline solely is in control of - what a huge perspective when traveling!
Sit back and enjoy hearing about the inspiring and ever changing career in aviation that’s available to you as well as a unique ‘to-do’ on your next trip to Vancouver Island where Tracy held a 10lb bald eagle!
Until next time, fly straight.
What are your thoughts? Leave a review, I’d love to hear from you.
