When Dennis Kozacek started to fly private aircrafts at just 19 years old, he never realized his passion for flying might turn into a career and teaching opportunity.
Today, Kozacek, 69, can look back on his 20 years as a pilot in the United States Navy and 31 years flying with FedEx. His career path even opened the door to a life of flying for his youngest son, Carter Kozacek, 23, a pilot training for the United States Air Force, and his brother-in-law, who became a flight instructor and worked his way up to flying 757s for United Airlines.
