Episode notes
On this episode of Nuts About Thrust, we sit down with Jordan — a former vet clinic receptionist and helicopter private pilot who traded in customer service for a wrench. Jordan walks us through night classes at the Thrust Institute, failing (and retaking) her powerplant written exam, and landing a job at Thrust's own maintenance facility right after graduating. If you're on the fence about starting a career as an aircraft mechanic with zero experience, this one's for you.
