Al Malmberg continues his talks with this year's inductees into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame.  This week he'll visit with Barbara Mack who began flying in 1964, getting her private pilot license in 1965.  She went on to acquire additional licenses including her instrument, commercial, instructor, seaplane SES, seaplane MES, ATP, balloon, glider, helicopter and other ratings.  She also is a Minnesota designated flight examiner.  But, the story doesn't end there!

 Al Malmberg spoke to Paul Dye who grew up in Minnesota, learned how to fly at the Anoka County Airport, went to the University of Minnesota to get his aeronautical engineering degree.  From there, he went to work for NASA in many capacities, including working as Flight Director for 39-shuttle missions.  Not too shabby for a kid from Minnesota!  Now, he's being inducted into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame on April 20th.
