Malick Mercier

In 2013, Malick dusted off his copy of Flight Simulator X and installed it once again, in hopes of passing the tutorials. Well he did that, and so much more! He had always loved flying but, that was the pivotal moment in his life where he realized that aviation was his “thing.” Now, in 2015, he plans to begin taking flight lessons at Long Island’s MacArthur Airport (KISP). He just can’t get enough of the roaring engines, and beautiful wing flexes. Those unique features keep the airline industry booming with news. Malick was always one to stay on top of it and break it to all of his friends. That, and a day at ABC sparked his interest in journalism, and he ended up here, at AirlineGeeks.com, and couldn’t be happier. He knows that whether he goes into broadcast journalism, or into piloting as a career, or even something totally different, his heart will always long for a clear blue sky.
