Erika Armstrong is the chick in the cockpit. From the front desk of a busy FBO at the Flying Cloud Airport, to the captain's seat of a commercial airliner, Erika has experienced everything aviation has to offer. She has worked on both sides of the cockpit door (Part 91, 135 and 121), is an aviation professor at MSU Denver (specialty is Aircraft Systems and Propulsion, Instrument Fundamentals, Commercial Operations, Aviation Fundamentals), Instructional Designer and VP of Business Development at Advanced Aircrew Academy and professional pilot columnist with 450,000 passionate, aviation-geek :) followers.
Adopted in Seattle but raised in Minnesota, Erika’s early membership in the Minnesota 99s (International Women Pilots Association) jump-started her career. After meeting several women pilots who spent their lives complaining about discrimination, Erika decided to handle every challenge with humor and perspective. This attitude and obsessive focus landed her in the captain’s seat of a commercial airliner by the age of thirty.
