Stevie believes that flying has a profound impact on a person, “It's also changed my life because general aviation as a whole allows you to see the world in such a different way and it connects you with so many different people. And I think Beechcraft and Bonanza owners especially, have such a tight-knit community that I’ve just met so many people that are now some of my best friends.”
