@katie.marsh Katie Marsh Katie Marsh knew from a young age that she wanted to be a pilot, although flying for a career was never part of the dream. Her dad 76 | AOPA PILOT August 2018 BOTTOM: @DEONMITTON and a sister are pilots, and her grandmother was a Women's Airforce Service Pilot in World War II. It wasn't until after college that she started to get really hooked, and today she has the enviable job of flying Cessna Caravans on floats in New York City in the summer and Florida in the winter. In between she pushes to get as much tailwheel time as she can in her new Piper Cub, and generally just get the most she can out of flying. Based on her smile in the back of a friend's L-39 during her first jet acro, and splashing down in a Sea Rey near the Bahamas' famous swimming pigs, it seems like she's getting quite a lot out of it.
