#Live2Fly Series: Pilots Allison Leeward and Michael Marco

"If you are ever presented with an opportunity, no matter where you are in your life, no matter what you are currently doing, don't hesitate to try to take advantage of that opportunity," says Michael Marco, who is a third generation pilot.

Fourth generation pilot Allison Leeward definitely believes that. She did a quick internship at Sun 'n Fun where she shadowed under their event and marketing coordinator. It showed her a whole new niche in aviation she could fill, and now she runs her own aviation marketing business.

Now, they're sharing their stories of how they became enamored with aviation.
