This month's spotlight is on private pilot Anthony Polifrone.  Anthony has achieved a lot in his life prior to becoming a pilot.  His background is extensive - including studies in architecture, engineering and medicine.  As the son of a neurosurgeon, you might expect him to follow in his father's footsteps but instead he developed his own successful medical career that has lasted the past 30 years.  At 50 years old he decided it was time to change course and pursue his life long interest in flying.  It's a passion he has had since he was 10 years old after taking his first flight in [...]
