Episode notes
Col. Glendon Fraser came to the United States from Jamaica at only 8yrs old, but he quickly set is sights on the sky and never looked back. A graduate of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, he rose through the aviation ranks from commercial pilot, ATP and flight instructor, to the airlines flying the Boeing 727, 737, 757, 767 and 777. Captain Fraser is currently a Line Check Captain for United Airlines. The military played an equally important role in his aviation career, where he flew the Cessna T-37, the Northrop T-38 and Lockheed C5A Galaxy, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with the New York Air National Guard. All that said, Col. Fraser’s true calling is focused on being an advocate for youth in aviation. He has overseen the development, implementation and continuation of the Lee A. Archer, Jr. Red Tail Youth Flying Program, now in its 26th year and he is currently the President of the board of directors. Col. Fraser is the past President of the Major General Irene Trowell-Harris chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, located at Stewart International Airport and has received numerous awards honoring his service and dedication to giving back.
