Captain Ron Nielson, The Plane Whisperer
Captain Ron Nielsen has been a pilot for almost 40 years and a captain for a major airline during half that time. Because of the "Age 60 Rule" that calls for mandatory retirement of pilots, he was “locked out of the cockpit” on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Flying was always his passion; and now he devotes much of his time and energy to helping other people be able to fly.Captain Ron is frequently contacted by the media for his aviation expertise.
