About

Allison Markey’s love for aviation started at a young age. From before she could speak, she was going to local airshows and playing with toy airplanes in her backyard in Pennsylvania. When she was in high school, this love became more reality when she started flying “real” airplanes. That love took her to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida where she received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Aeronautical Science. Allison is a licensed commercial, multi-engine rated pilot, with most of her flight-time gained flying in Florida and the Bahamas.
