Brevard Center Internship Spotlight: Baer Air

By Janet Hrezo, Brevard Center

Jay at internshipJay Mikush, a first year student at the Brevard Center, is a young man with his head in the clouds. His goal is to be a pilot and he’s currently working on a private pilot’s license. His internship at Baer Air, a charter jet service in Melbourne, is a perfect match for him since it gives him the opportunity to learn about all aspects of aviation.

Interning at an air charter service can be challenging since preparing for a flight involves a number of activities ranging from maintenance checks to flight scheduling but Jay enjoys being a part of it all. Recently, Jay flew “right seat” on a round trip to the Bahamas which was a particularly exciting experience for him. “I’m working hard,” says Jay, “and I feel like I’m getting a lot out of it.”

Jay also enjoys the time when his feet are on the ground. “I really like my co-workers. Their attitude is friendly and they make it a nice place to work.”

Baer Air is an FAA Certified air charter service that offers flights to destinations in the US and Caribbean. They operate a fleet of twin-engine jets and turbo-prop aircraft from their headquarters in Melbourne, Florida. If you’d like to learn more about Baer Air, they can be found at www.flybaerair.com.

    So proud of you, Jay! I'm so happy you were able to find such a perfect internship while you are at school. I can't wait until you have your very own plane and you can fly Uncle Field and me to the Caribbean!
