Transcript:
I'm Forest Heath. I’m a ground instructor here at Spartan. I'm also an ex-student. I went here about 1975-1976.

After finishing here, I got a job as a flight instructor. That led to flying charter, and then corporate, and then freight. Then I flew for a commuter airline and that became a regional airline. And then I ended my career at American Airlines and decided to teach here at Spartan.

I enjoy it. Basically, flying is, a superior pilot uses his superior knowledge to keep out of situations that require superior flying skill. And you start acquiring that knowledge while you're here at Spartan.
It's a good place to go to school if you want to make aviation a career. Plus, I think you'll have a good time.
