    Greg Brown: Cockpit Adventures from the Flying Carpet

    Greg Brown, “the story-teller-poet-laureate of aviation”

    Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the “Flying Carpet,” as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way. 

    A former National Flight Instructor of the Year, Greg is author of five books, a former Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month, and longtime aviation adventure columnist for AOPA Flight Training magazine. Some reviewers have compared his book, “Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane,” to road-trip classics like “On the Road,” and “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” 

    Says aviation author and humorist Rod Machado: “Greg thinks with the mind of a pilot, questions with the curiosity of a philosopher, and sees with the eyes of a poet.” 

    Observes Nina Bell Allen, former “Readers Digest” Asst. Managing Editor, “You don’t have to be a pilot, or even a frequent flyer, to soar with Greg Brown in [his] Flying Carpet.” 

    So climb into the “Flying Carpet,” buckle in, and join Greg for the ride!

    Flying Saucer! Dec 15, 2024

    There's been lots of news lately about possible extraterrestrial visits from other planets, other galaxies. And whether the government has been covering it up. In particular, many reports have revealed sightings from airplane cockpits.

    So when a friend messaged the other day asking whether I’d ever experienced UFOs or extraterrestrials in the course of flight, I was reminded of an incident Jean and I experienced years ago in the Flying Carpet. You might call it “Flying Carpet Meets Flying Saucer.”

    So climb into the Flying Carpet. Buckle up your seat belts. And prepare for takeoff on Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #35. “Flying Saucer!”

    The Day GPS Went Away! Oct 01, 2024

    How many pilots have seriously considered the safety implications of unexpectedly losing GPS navigation in flight?
    Well it happened to us, in clouds over remote and rugged terrain, and as you'll hear, the risks are thought-provoking at best, and potentially deadly without forethought, positional awareness, and preparation...

    This episode could save your life!

    IMPORTANT: In May, 2026 a Medivac King Air crashed under GPS jamming in the same area as my podcast experience, killing all four occupants. PILOTS: Do not miss Juan Brown's video analyzing the tragic accident. Important lessons there!

    You may remember meeting my buddy Baldy in previous Flying Carpet Podcasts, Flight #2, "Cowboy Pilot," and Flight #29, "Cowpuncher's Reunion." Well here's what happened when he suffered an inflight emergency, and then what followed. The precautionary landing went well enough, but not so the takeoff.

    One thing I love about flying is that there are so many dimensions to it. It might be as simple as going from point a to point B... For a meeting... Or a "hundred-dollar hamburger."

    But sometimes piloting takes you mystically and magically to faraway places—spiritually or across time. And that's what this story is about.
    So climb into my Flying Carpet, buckle up your seatbelts and prepare to takeoff on today's adventure, "Time Travel."

    Eclipse! Mar 24, 2024
    Show notes

    Text or Voicemail Greg!

    As I record this, we’re just two weeks away from the 2024 total solar eclipse that will come up through Mexico and cross much of the Midwest and eastern United States.

    I suspect that many of you plan on flying to see this eclipse, but if you’re not, you probably should be.
    Plenty of people have experienced a partial solar eclipse, and a few have experienced an annular solar eclipse.
    But if you’ve never experienced a total solar eclipse, it’s so much more exciting and so much more memorable, that it’s something you don’t want to miss.
    In this episode, I’ll share the stories two previous solar eclipses I’ve experienced, which I believe you’ll find interesting and inspiring whether you’re preparing to attend the 2024 Total Eclipse, or have already experienced one.
    So climb into my Flying Carpet, buckle up your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “Eclipse!”

    iPads, Icing, & Restricted Airspace! Dec 16, 2023
    Show notes

    Text or Voicemail Greg!

    One thing I’ve learned over many years of piloting is that rarely can we plan a flight, take off, and then not need to worry about anything until we reach our destination.

    More often than not, circumstances arise before takeoff and en route that require planning, strategy, and tactics to get us safely where we’re going . A big part of this, too, is being prepared to land at any point… To turn around. To land at an inconvenient airport that might even be unattended. But if we’re not willing and able to make smart decisions “on the fly,” we cannot safely fly around in potentially marginal weather.
    This episode’s flight was great piloting adventure because we did not know over the entire three-hour flight whether we would make our destination.
    But when I discussed this flight with pilot friends afterwards, including some very experienced ones, I discovered that in the course of it I’d unwittingly done something innovative—an integration of new technology with what we’ve always done. Whether pilots or not, I think you’ll find it interesting.
    Okay, everyone, grab your logbooks, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, snug up your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “iPads & Icing!”

    Cowpunchers Reunion: Rough Flight Home Oct 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Text or Voicemail Greg!

    You may remember meeting my cowboy buddy "Baldy" way back in Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #2, “Cowboy Pilot,” in which Jean and I were first invited to the annual "Arizona Cowpuncher’s Reunion." If you don’t remember that episode, or haven’t heard it, you might want to get to know Baldy via that episode before starting this one.

    Regardless, I predict you’ll get a kick joining our flying adventure to attend a unique “working cowboys” rodeo, and experiencing our piloting travails flying there and returning.

    Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, snug up your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “Cowpunchers Reunion: Rough Flight Home.”
