All Things Aviation & Aerospace Vincent Mickens

Earlier this year, I had the privilege of visiting and touring the DaVinci Inflight Training Institute which is adjacent to the Ft. Lauderdale Executive airport. Besides being impressed with what I saw at this state of the art cabin crew member professional training facility, I had an enlightening sidebar conversation with Paula Kraft that made me ask, how soon can you be a guest on my show?

Her awe-inspiring family aviation lineage along with her distinguished accomplishments in inflight catering and cabin crew member training will inspire anyone who likes cooking and traveling. Her extensive accomplishments range from world-class expertise in corporate inflight food service and corporate flight attendants services, to food safety management, handling, and mitigation. Paula is also the founder of Tastefully Yours Catering.

DaVinci InFlight Training Institute covers everything from Culinary, Cabin Safety, and Elite Service Training, to Sommelier, Butler, and Aviation Security/Awareness Training. So again, if you have ever considered a career in catering for the private jet/business aviation industry, you'll want to hear all that Paula has to share.

A one-on-one illuminating conversation with Billy Nolen, the Chief Safety Officer for Archer Aviation after recently leading the FAA as Acting Administrator. Billy and I talked on a range of aviation related subjects, from his over three decade flying and flight safety career, to how Archer Aviation is paving a significant path in Advanced Air Mobility with its 'Midnight' eVTOL aircraft currently in the flight testing phase towards passenger carrying FAA certification. 

With Archer being one of the leading Advance Air Mobility trailblazing companies, Billy shares his insight about its forward momentum in this surging segment of the aviation and aerospace industries, which translates into jobs, jobs, and more jobs in technology, design, air traffic management, and just about everything else that you can think of.
