Nina C George: Did you always want to fly as a child?

Major Andrew Moenter: As a child, I always loved aeroplanes. But, I didn’t know that I actually wanted to fly until I got a job at a local airport in my hometown. That’s where the love for flying actually started to take hold.

Nina: Which were the first few aircraft that you flew?

Major Andrew: I started by flying the T-6 Texan (an American single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots), moved on to the T-38 Tower and then headed for B-1B Lancer heavy bomber.
