Kevin Ardaugh spent his youth playing and working on his family’s farm in north central Illinois and, for a while, had his sights set on a career as a crop duster. Family members and friends encouraged him to also explore other paths in aviation, and today, at age 30 with 1,500 hours of flight time, he is about to begin initial training as a regional airline first officer with Envoy Air.
