MACKEY

My first flight was in the summer of 1984. I was 13 and had saved up $25 from mowing lawns to purchase a ride in a Cessna 172 at Gladewater Municipal Airport in Gladewater, Texas during an airshow. I was hooked. However, family circumstances did not permit me to pursue aviation at the time. Upon High School graduation I applied for the Air Force Academy thinking that may be my entry into aviation; however, I was honored with an Alternate Nominee, but not an appointment... Upon college graduation, I decided to begin my aviation pursuit by earning my Private Pilots license while working and living in Magnolia, Arkansas. And followed up my aviation pursuits by adding my Commercial Pilots License, Multi-Engine Rating, and Instrument Rating while being a full-time pastor in the DFW area from 2000-2005...
