Caleb Green’s Journey from Army Officer to Corporate Jet Pilot
In this inspiring episode of Fly the Transition, host Jim Schilling sits down with Caleb Green, a former Army logistics officer who made a bold leap from a background in agricultural business and military service into the cockpit of a corporate jet.
Caleb shares his powerful story of navigating the transition from a structured Army career to the dynamic world of professional aviation. With encouragement from his wife and a deep-rooted passion for flight, he not only earned his wings but also launched his own flight school, all while playing a key role in the safety program of his current corporate flight operation.
His path blends general aviation roots with the professionalism of Part 91 and 135 jet flying, making this episode a must-listen for aspiring pilots, veterans exploring aviation careers, or anyone seeking inspiration to make a major career pivot.
