After 15 Years in the Saddle, Chief Eases into Retirement
Aerobility’s Chief Flying Instructor Mike Owen is leaving the game, stepping out of his role after "more than 15 years helping thousands of disabled people to experience piloting an aircraft." The 65-year-old Owen has enjoyed his time with the charity, first starting in May 2008 as the team's first full-timer. Owen won't be out of the cockpit for good though - His retirement as Chief Flying Instructor won't prevent him from showing up as a part-timer, however often he feels up for it.
