On-camera experience is a plus; males and females of all ages and backgrounds will be considered. If I had the experience – and if small children didn’t hide behind their mothers’ skirts at my approach – I’d love to do it. Actually, if I ever do get my own plane, I’ve thought about of doing a series of videos. . ---

I know a guy (sounds so cliché but it’s true) who is a commercial pilot flying heavys & also has his LTA (w/ airborne heater) ticket. That gives him the majority of "_pilot who is experienced and highly rated with a desire to fly or operate anything that goes airborne"_. He’s also a dynamic public speaker. I’ll pass it along to him. ---

So they need a pilot for the pilot episode of a new show? ---

Yes. A show about piloting, for an audience of pilots. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > Yes. A show about piloting, for an audience of pilots. So it’s a pilot show about piloting, of the pilots, by the pilots and for the pilots. ---

And hanger rats and baggage mishandlers.
