When Dr. Korey Kilburn prepares to take flight in his two-seat Cessna, he goes over his flight plan, reviews the maintenance of his plane and checks the weather one last time. Many thoughts run through his head before takeoff. But is he worried? Not necessarily.

Dr. Kilburn is a math and computer science professor at Edinboro, and he also has his pilot's license. He joins "Tartan" Talks today to chat about his path to aviation and how he grew up in a family of pilots.

Although some might fear flying or might worry about their friends flying planes, this isn't the case for Kilburn – who considers air travel just another form of transportation.
