When Sarah Tindell flies, she leaves “everything that’s on the ground, on the ground.”
That sense of freedom, combined with an early mentor, is driving her upward trajectory in the aviation industry.
She points to the 2015 death of her neighbor – who was a corporate pilot for hotelier John Q. Hammons – as the reason she set out in the industry. Now rocking her pilot’s license, Tindell flies three days a week while taking classes at Ozarks Technical Community College in hopes of becoming an air traffic control specialist.
“I was the first female student coming into it, but that didn’t intimidate me,” she says.
On the ground, she helps lead flight operations for Premier Flight Center LLC.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
