    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!

    Even after decades of piloting, night landings remain tough, beautiful, a little scary, and immensely rewarding. But just 30 minutes aloft displace all the preflight fears and apprehensions with just a single thought: CAN YOU BELIEVE WE GET TO DO THIS?!

    Old Pals and N-Numbers Jul 23, 2020
    Show notes

    Text or Voicemail Greg!

    Like fond memories of long-ago lovers, beloved airplanes resurface occasionally from quiet corners of a pilot’s mind. We hear the last three digits of some familiar N-number and are flooded with reminiscences.
    But rarely do the abbreviated call signs used in routine communications fully match the numbers of actual steeds we once flew — especially when 1500 miles and thirty years have passed under the wings. Along the way, you'll learn how Greg's airplane, the Flying Carpet, earned her name.

    New Beginnings; Return to Flight Jun 23, 2020
    Show notes

    Text or Voicemail Greg!

     During the COVID pandemic, many of us pilots sat around wishing we were back in the air rather than actually getting to fly, and I thought it would be neat to kick off this series with a story that sort of relates to that. This story is called New Beginnings, and it actually came together following the 9/11 grounding of all aircraft in the United States.
    Back then, like during COVID, we were suddenly grounded with no indication of if or when we would ever get back into the air. It was a traumatic period, and then there was that special day we were returned to flight. That's what this story is about, and I think you'll find it relevant to the pain we pilots endured through both 9/11 and the pandemic, and the joys of once again being cleared for takeoff.
    Hop aboard my flying carpet. Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff on flight number one of the Flying Carpet Podcast,
    Greg
