Ferno was born in Anchorage, Alaska but grew up in Unalakleet. She earned her pilot license in 1981, after she attended a flying school in Everett, Washington. She met her future husband in 1980 when Jim visited Unalakleet; the two hit it off immediately, and after eight years decided to crown their relationship with a wedding ceremony. The two pilots worked for Era Aviation, and after merging with two other aviation companies, Frontier Flying Service and Hageland Aviation in 2009, her husband Jim became the COO of the largest regional airline in Alaska. Jim wasn’t sure that aviation was his call until he met Ferno, as he excelled in hockey, but after settling in Unalakleet and meeting Ferno, he came to realize that aviation was his passion.
From 2009 until 2012, Jim served as COO, but that year decided to step down from his position, and to retire after over 30 years in aviation. Ferno followed in his footsteps. However, before retirement, the Tweto family came to prominence when the Discovery channel picked them up for their new reality TV series “Flying Wild Alaska” (2011-2012). Ferno featured in all 31 episode of the highly acclaimed show, in which were showcased her duties as a station manager in Unalakleet. However, after tee seasons, the show ended after Jim decided to retire from the aviation industry.
Regarding her personal life, Ferno has been married to Jim since 1988; the couple has two daughters, Ayla and Ariel, the latter also a certified pilot.
