Listen "Simon Dunn / Former Hostage / Airline Pilot"
Episode Synopsis
Simon's journey to the flight deck is like none other. As a young man, his love for aviation developed after watching both his Father and Uncle serve for the RAF. He completed his private pilot's license in Oklahoma, and was working in Kuwait City, when he was taken hostage at the Iraq border. Interrogated for 7 days, and sentenced to 8 years in Abu Ghraib, his dreams of becoming a pilot never died. Simon's journey from the depths of the darkest prison, to the seat of a modern commercial airliner, is one you don't want to miss.
