Hello! I’m Liam Harrison, and I am a pilot for Southern Illinois University flying the Cessna 310 and Beech B58 Baron. I have flown various aircraft types, and am excited to get to know new people and new job opportunities. I am able to move anywhere in the country for work, and am happy to live out of base for long durations.
