Episode Description:

Published on September 10, 2024 “Working with the Kenya Wildlife Service Air Wing has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Their excellent pilots appreciate the need for recurrent and aerobatic training and believe, as I do, that aerobatic lessons make all pilots more skillful, more confident and safer aviators, and gives them better tools to be able to combat elephant and rhino poaching in Kenya.” - Patty Wagstaff Animals and aviation have been linked since 1783 when the Montgolfier brothers sent a duck, sheep, and rooster up in a hot air balloon to ensure that people could survive the ascent. Today, planes and satellites are used to aid wildlife conservation efforts, including tracking elephants and transporting animals from conservation centers to the wild for reintroduction.
