From one of our Flight Nurses, Shellee Magnuson.
My son, Ryan, is 12 years old and is very interested in getting his pilots license. I reminded him that he has grown up with several pilots so he should reach out. They were very receptive and pilots Aaron Lawrence, Travis Burgard, and Frank Delosso scheduled a meeting to sit down with him. They spent some time answering questions, let him try out the flight simulator, and Dan Brattain even took him for a ride in his helicopter.
Also, we got to visit Flight Guard in Sacramento. They welcomed us and showed the kids all around, making them feel like part of the team. They took the time to show them how they dispatch and track our Cal-Ore crews and made them feel like part of the team.
