Jennifer Bartley was originally from New Mexico, I graduated high school in the town of Capitan with a population  under 1,500. I selected a helicopter flight school in Salt Lake City, Utah where I did most of my training and acquired my Helicopter Pilots License, and I received my Certified Flight Instructor rating, in Hillsboro, Oregon. I taught approximately 1900 hours of flying lessons in Salt lake before moving back to New Mexico to work for Aero Tech LLC for whom I fly today. I bounce back and forth between California and New Mexico serving the many Aero Tech contracts. In the summer I fight wild-land fires, carrying the Bambi Bucket and dropping water on fires, support ground crews and patrol fire perimeter.  During the winter, I assist Colorado Parks and Wildlife as well as other Government and State agencies surveying deer, elk and sheep populations from the air.
