Mark has been a pilot for more than 3 decades, starting with TWA. He’s still flying, now for American Airlines, and is also an author of several fiction and nonfiction books. We spoke about his early career flying 19-passenger Twin Otters in the Caribbean, to his wild checkride flying into Berlin during the Cold War. We also discussed his experience following the crash of TWA Flight 800 — his fiancée and one of his mentors were both on board — and his struggle with grief afterward, which eventually led him to write “13,760 Feet: My Personal Hole in the Sky.”

Show notes

In addition to flying 737s for United Airlines, Korry Franke is an author and inspirational speaker. His book, 3 Feet to the Left: A New Captain’s Journey from Pursuit to Perspective, is a memoir which chronicles the year in his life when he faced many professional and personal struggles as United’s then-youngest captain.

We discussed his education at Embry-Riddle during and after 9/11, why he chose to stay in aviation, the nature of leadership, what happens when two airlines merge, as well as the tough times faced in that year as he and his wife were expecting a baby.

The views expressed by Korry Franke on this podcast are his and his alone, completely independent of any United Airlines affiliation.

Tim Perry (’86) Aug 16, 2020
Show notes

Tim Perry came to Embry-Riddle while he was serving in the Air Force. He graduated in 1986 from our Prescott Campus with a degree in professional aeronautics and continued to serve in the Air Force during the first Gulf War. He was one of the pilots who flew the EC-135 for Operation Looking Glass.

We discussed his time in the Air Force, but also how his work in the private sector and his spiritual path led him to form Nationwide Chaplain Services and 10-41 Incorporated, two organizations which provide counseling and psychiatric services geared toward first responders.

Programming note: This episode includes some discussion of incidents that police officers and other first-responders face, and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

Ever since she was editor-in-chief at her high school newspaper, she’s been passionate about telling people’s stories. We talked about what it’s like to write interesting features in the highly technical world of aerospace; her volunteerism streak; attending high school in Japan; and why it’s important to lift up people of color in the industry.
