In this one we've got a couple of pilots sitting around drinking whiskey and talking wild nonsense. If you get offended easily go ahead and skip this one. LoL.

I talked to my dear friend Chris who I've know since 5th grade. This dude has the most wild pilot stories! From flying in remote Alaska to Gulfstreams around the world and now at a major airline. Hustle is in this guys bones. Listen and you'll see why.

Nathan and I met on a pilot FB group and have had some wild adventures ever since. He created Ferry Direct Aviation after leaving the Cargo lifestyle. Nathan has had some crazy adventures flying every General Aviation airplane imaginable. Listen to the episode to hear him talk about going to far away places, battle brutal weather, all while trying not to let the airplane kill him!

I stumbled onto Nate's content on social media and was blown away by his flying videos. Being within a few thousand feet of the ground in mountain terrain is BEAUTIFUL!!! Using thermals to help you stay aloft is a connection to mother nature most pilots never achieve. Listen to Nate's incredible story and then watch all of his videos on his socials:YouTubeInstagram

David has done maintenance for the Air Force, Lockheed Martin, United Airlines, and a butt load of other stuff. He also has his own business creating workout supplements since hes been an avid weightlifter for 4 decades.

I found Keoni on TikTok and was extremely jealous of the cool stuff he flys by in Hawaii. So naturally I asked him to talk all about it on the Pod! Enjoy his story yall.

Austin tells us all about his job doing "Cloud Seeding." Its a scientific process where clouds are fertilized to develop more precipitation in the summer months for farmers in the Midwest USA. Additionally, we talked about how the same application is used to mitigate hail damage during Canadian summertime. We had a great chat about weather modification. Check it out if you want to hear me say "neato" like 8 different times. LoL!

Andy has over 30,000hrs of flight time. He got his start in Maine and then booked a one way ticket to Alaska and never looked back. His love for radial engines is infectious and as an A&P mechanic he says they are his favorite to work on "due to their simplicity!"We also discussed some of his videos on social media that are generating a lot of comments and striking debates within the GA community. Check out all of Andy's stuff here:@_theskypirate - Instagram https://www.adventureflight.net/Zip Tie T-Shirt

Darren tells what its like to be a young airplane mechanic working all over Europe, working on billion dollar private 747s and starting his fitness journey.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jett during my time at King Air Academy. While I grabbed a sip of coffee before class I heard him mention he was a D.P.E. I thought no way, you are 50 years to young to be doing that! Listen to the episode to hear his incredible story.

Aaron and I met a few summers ago at a pilot job fair. Since then we've stayed in touch via social media and even ran into each other when Aaron was flying the CRJ200 I was on! We discussed what life feels like going from the airlines, back to CFI work, landing a new job, and going to ERJ145 training.@aholmes825
