In this episode, we begin the first in an ongoing series we like to call “Learning through Experience.” We aim to share the stories and experiences of other aviators with our audience as a means to learn from one another. We are joined by Pilot, Author, Corporate Consultant, and Voiceover Artist Lion Templin. Lion shares a number of his emergency-like scenarios. From common problems faced with flying at night, to dealing with a bird strike emergency. You can check out Lion’s book here. https://www.amazon.com/Killed-Out-Hunting-Corporate-Herds-ebook/dp/B092LSMLPX If you have questions or comments, reach out to us at flyingmidwestpodcast@gmail.com or contact us on Facebook at facebook.com/flyingmidwestpodcast Don't forget to stick around for the outtakes at the end of the show!
