Background

About Ryan Austin

Growing up in the “Air Capital of the World,” I have been inspired by aviation as long as I can remember.I am currently a Certified Flight Instructor teaching private and commercial applicants in the Oklahoma State University Part 141 Aviation program while I simultaneously continue my Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Administration and Operations. I am a commercial multi- and single-engine instrument rated pilot with over 450 hours of flight experience.Upon graduation, I plan to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. Although I am currently keeping my options open, serving as a demo pilot, airline pilot, test pilot, or pursuing leadership in a flight department or safety assurance department are all options that interest me.I enjoy staying actively involved across many areas of Oklahoma State University including being elected as Vice President of the Flying Aggies, the Flight Team, where I serve as a team lead and logistics coordinator, Alumni Ambassadors, Homecoming Executive Committee, the College of Education and Human Sciences Student Council, the St. John Catholic Student Center, and intramural sports officiating.
