Podcast: “There I was”
This podcast invites you into the cockpit with pilots across the aviation community. We fly with them as they encounter unpredictable scenarios and we learn from the knowledge and skills they utilize to fly safely out of them. “There I was...” honors the tradition and heritage in aviation to leverage “hangar flying” as an avenue to pass along knowledge and experience.
Listen to the most recent episode:
