Jacquie B is getting ready to go live on KGW to talk about this weekend’s Intel Oregon International Air Show Presented by Standard TV & Appliance.
At age 50, Jacquie B. began her career as an aerobatics pilot. She is the first woman to do so at such an age. Since her start, she has switched from a biplane to a sleeker Extra 300 monoplane with two seats. She can now give rides and share her love and passion of flying with others across the country.
She holds a Commercial Certificate in land-based aircraft as well as a seaplane rating and holds a Level 1 ACE card which allows her to perform down to the surface.
