Janet In The Duo
I have been engaged in aviation most of my life. I owned (in partnership) Boise Air Service, in Boise, Idaho, for several years. I have also owned (with my husband), a commercial glider operation, two aviation fuel companies and a aviation maintenance and restoration company. Worked a few years as a flight attendant. I received my Private Pilot license in September 1971.
My hobbies include scuba diving where I am a certified Master Diver and Rescue Diver. I hold Multilevel Diver, Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Boat Diver and Underwater Naturalist specialties. I am a certified Keel Boat Captain on sailboats and hold a Technician License in ham radio. I like to shoot trap and skeet, shoot rifles and pistols, and go pheasant and grouse hunting. I like fly fishing, troll fishing, picking huckleberries, camping, trail riding on our ATV’s and in our UTV and horseback riding. I like traveling and enjoy spending the winters in our home in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, and the summers in our mountain cabin on Cascade Lake in Idaho, and of course flying.
