Welcome to Episode 90 of the Adventures with Grammy Podcast. Today’s guest is Paul Entrekin.

For most of his adult life, Paul’s feet have been off the ground and in the air flying from one destination to another — sometimes upside down — sometimes at warp speed.

A retired US Marine, naval aviator and Delta Airline captain, Paul primarily is known today as an acrobatic pilot who owns and flies a Russian MIG 15 fighter jet in airshows across North America.

The role he cherishes is grandpa. Today we will discuss his first children’s book, Jasper and the Christmas Faeries, a book co-written with his wife, Lisa, but inspired by his youngest grandchild and only grandson.

Proceeds from the book benefit the respected charity, Pilots for Kids – Aviation Professionals dedicated to helping hospitalized children

PAUL ENTREKIN
An Amazin’ Achiever

Paul Entrekin has lived his life carrying on the attributes from his Scottish heritage of bravery, courage and candor.

During his notable military career, Entrekin attended the Naval Postgraduate School and was qualified to fly both rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft. He served as an instructor pilot and later with the Defense Intelligence Agency. In fact, Entrekin was an integral part of the historic air-campaign of Desert Storm at the beginning of the war.
