Flight Team to the Flight Deck: Justin Wayman (2015-16) – First Officer, Allegiant
Justin is one of our original team members & became our first Flight Team alumni to fly for a major passenger airline. He now flies the Airbus A320 for Allegiant. Originally from Kissimmee, Florida, he resides in Orlando & is based at Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). He previous flew professionally for Silver Airways.
Justin’s favorite Flight Team memories are building relationships with fellow aviators & having the chance to test his skills & knowledge against other colleges, noting it was a great challenge that every future professional pilot should experience. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Sciences from Polk State College (’19) & shared how training with Polk State Aerospace & the Flight Team enabled him to find career success as an airline pilot.
“Polk State Aerospace & Polk State Flight Team provided structured training & a strong curriculum, allowing me to excel in my aviation career,” he noted.
Aside from flying, Justin enjoys mountain biking & driving his classic car on his days off. His future plans include upgrading to Captain & enrolling in Allegiant’s training department as a simulator instructor.
