Flying 101: With Ben Thoennes -Episode 10

There are no words to describe the feeling of being solo in an airplane flying above the clouds. Just you and the sky while all else fades away.

When I was very young, I encountered the idea that if people can fly airplanes I wanted to be one of them. In this episode, Ben Thoennes and I talk through the joys of flying as well as the challenges that come with the being in the aviation community.
