Captain Richard Levy's 40-year career in aviation took him to every corner of the globe – from North America, Latin America, and Europe, to India, Kuwait, and Russia, as well as China, South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong. Beginning his aviation journey at 14, he achieved numerous FAA certifications as a young adult. After graduating from college, he flew C-130 transport aircraft for the United States Air Force Reserves. Some highlights from his aviation career include flying over East and West Germany during the depths of the Cold War, well before the Berlin Wall fell; participating in the initial flight from the United States into the new Munich, Germany, airport; and overhearing communications from a major European airliner as it was actively being hijacked. Post-retirement, he continues instructing and providing expert testimony in aviation litigation.
