After staying home to raise her kids, Tamaron Nicklas accomplished her dream of being a pilot for Southwest Airlines after two decades out of the sky.
"I was in the Air Force for about seven and a half years. We were able to refuel all sorts of different types of aircraft," Nicklas said. "We went through Hawaii to Guam, got to fly to Australia, the Philippines, Korea.""I worked really hard to get back into flying. I found out I was pregnant with our third, and at that point I just thought, I don't think I can do this," Nicklas said.
"I saw in our grad magazine an article about the Air Force's initial flight training down in Pueblo and it just seemed like a really neat way for me to get back into flying and instructing," Nicklas said.," Nicklas said. "I asked myself a lot of times, why am I doing this? How badly did I want it?I decided, yes, you know, I really want to do this and it was worth the hard work," Nicklas said.
