“I've always wanted to be an aerobatic pilot and airshow performer. My greatest memory is the first aerobatic flight in the Pitts S1S that I built from scratch. It took 10 years of building, but it's an absolute dream come true.” ~Latitude SIC Jeremy Wicker #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

“This photo captures a truly proud moment and a reflection in time. Pictured here are me and my dad, years ago, when he showed up at the gate and sat on my jump seat. He passed this last October, and I’d like to recognize both his passion for our career and his almost 50 years at United Airlines. His love of all-things-aviation sparked my interest and forged my path to land on the flight deck. Thanks, Capt. Sprogis!” ~Latitude PIC Kim Wascher #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

"I grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the rust belt of Michigan. No one in my family flew. Yet, for some reason, I was passionate about anything that flew: birds, bats, bugs, kites. My friend Brian and I had seen a picture of someone hang gliding somewhere. We thought if we built a kite big enough, we could launch from the top of my shed, (me in red) or if I could pedal fast enough, my bike would lift off. Unsurprisingly, we didn't quite get the aerodynamics right. I’m grateful my mother thought to snap a few pictures. I flew my intro flight at sixteen, and I was off to the skies." ~Phenom PIC Carey Waldie #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

“Attached is a photo after the completion of IOE back in November! My Check Airman, PIC Nick Hartsell, and I share a lot in common. We were both born and raised in West Virginia – Country Roads, baby! Both of us attended, graduated and instructed at Fairmont State University. We had jobs at the North Central West Virginia Airport working as linemen, fueling and marshaling aircraft. We took jobs at some small local Part 135/91 operators to build time. Now we both fly the Latitude at NetJets! I’m happy to be a part of this great organization and proud to be a part of the West Virginia pilot community. Happy World Pilots’ Day!” ~Latitude SIC Greg Lloyd #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

"The reason I became a pilot? For the breathtaking views and the life-long friendships forged in the skies." ~Challenger 650 SIC Louis Llanes #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

“When I piloted my first flight to Europe, my crew flew to Naples, Italy, and Shannon, Ireland. To ensure I made it home on time upon our return to the U.S., the company allowed my crew to ferry the aircraft to my home base, where my Papa and Grandma were waiting to celebrate. My Papa is the reason I became a pilot. Although he is no longer flying, he previously built his own experimental single-engine aircraft and flew it from Buffalo to Alaska. Both of my grandparents now spend their retirement volunteering with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and Young Eagles. It meant the world to me to have my grandparents there to watch me land at my home base after completing my first trip to Europe.” ~Challenger 650 SIC Charley Kight #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

“I am currently a First Officer in the Challenger 350, but I was just awarded an upgrade into the Ascend. I recently flew a tour with Capt. Kevin George, who retired at the end of March. Capt. George is a great pilot, friend and mentor. Long story short, I’m a 24-year cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Leukemia at four-years-old. With frequent travels from Columbus, Georgia to Atlanta for treatment, I’d always see planes landing at KATL and was fascinated by how pilots could find the runway in IMC and land. I’m blessed to have known what I wanted to do for a career since a young age and love it every day.” ~Challenger 350 SIC Erik Harstad #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

“I grew up flying gliders in a small grass field in the north of France. (One of these photos is of my dad pre-flighting the tow plane.) If you had told this kid that half a century later, he would be flying a Citation Longitude over the same airport one day, he would have thought you were nuts!” ~Longitude PIC Richard Depinay #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

"I have wanted to be a pilot since I was five years old. My family was moving to Australia in the summer of 1975. It was the first time I had ridden on an airplane. Back then, kids were welcomed into the flight deck to take pictures with the pilots and to ask questions. On this particular trip, the captain pushed his seat all the way back and let me sit in it while wearing his pilot’s hat. I wasn’t allowed to touch anything, of course, but I was enthralled by the view and all buttons and switches. That was the moment I was bitten by the aviation bug. I told everyone I knew, and some I didn’t, that I was going to be a pilot when I grew up – and I never wavered. I have always known I wanted to be a pilot. Best job in the world!" ~Latitude PIC Jeff Davis #WorldPilotsDay2026 #NJASAPMembersStories

Today and every day, we celebrate the extraordinary pilots who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of their flight deck peers and passengers. Join us throughout the day as our members share what inspired them to seek a career in aviation as well as their favorite memories from flying the line. Happy #WorldPilotsDay2026! ✈️ #NJASAPMembersStories
