Ep 359 From Canvas to Cockpit: Jakhar's Path from Artist to Pilot

Jakhar Yunussov, a Kazakhstani pilot known as "@artmonster_" on Instagram, joins Nik to share his unique journey from art school to an architecture degree to his upcoming Airbus training. He reflects on his transition into aviation, including the challenge of rapidly advancing his English and aviation knowledge to complete flight training in Ireland. Along the way, Jakhar has continued to nurture his artistic talent, creating detailed hand-drawn aircraft on IFR charts - a passion that has earned him more than 17,000 followers.
