About Above the Wing

We’re two young women who hope to hear more voices like ours share their thoughts and experiences on all things aviation. Combining our passion for aviation with our respective professional backgrounds, we hope to start a discussion that we haven’t yet been a part of. We'll cover a broad range of aviation topics, such as current events, new products and airplanes, industry trends, and everything in between. Hosted by Ashley & Kim. Views and opinions expressed in this podcast are our own and do not represent our places of work. The content here is for informational purposes only.
