ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
I sit down with some of the most fascinating people in the world—astronauts, fighter pilots, airline captains, corporate pilots… even actors, athletes, CEOs, and innovators who’ve all been bitten by the aviation bug.

If you’ve ever had even the smallest version of “the aviation bug”…
You’re in the right place. Let’s fly.
