Today I have with me Bill Shepard, airshow performer, and advocate for people of all backgrounds to reach for the skies and fulfill their dreams. As an airshow pilot, he is able to inspire the next generation of pilots through his many activities including Rise Above WASP which honors the Woman Air Force Service Pilots while inspiring the next generation of pilots and aerospace professionals.
