My name is Scott O'Neal. I am a graduate of Eastern Michigan University here in my home town of Ypsilanti with a degree in Aviation Management. I am a commercial pilot employed at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti Michigan. Some might recognize this airport for its role in producing the B-24 (Liberator) bomber.
