Fascinating Aviators With Fascinating Ideas That You Should Follow

Picture
Recently I was thinking of the power of the internet and social media and how it has changed the communication landscape. This is true in every industry including aviation. The Internet gives us an outlet to share our thoughts, ideas and opinions and for those that are open to learning, a place to consume the ideas and absorb the experience of others.

Over the past several years I have had the privilege to get to know and work professionally with some fascinating aviators that are dedicated to sharing their passion and ideas with those who are interested and hungry for knowledge, a dose of reality and perhaps a little entertainment. 

In the intrest of continued learning, here are a few intriguing aviators that I follow and I think you should too.

Jason Miller

In the following years Steve has curated a library of over 150 episodes of learning filled flying in everything from a Phenom Jet to a World War 2 Harvard.

There are few people more passionate about aviation than Jodi. Beginning as a flight instructor Jodi has found a niche in the aerobatics world. I first met Jodi at an aviation event where she told me that she wanted to be a Redbull Air Racer. Unfortunately that series has come to an end however she is on the rise as an airline pilot and airshow performer. You can catch her at airshows across the western half of the continent this summer. Jodi is also a Cardinal Aviation Coach and is a great mentor and instructor for aerobatics, tailwheel and IFR flying.

This is my blog so I'll shamelessly plug myself. Please check out the Cardinal Aviation Audio Blog where I plan to share mini sessions on a variety of aircraft handling topics with a focus on IFR flying and advanced systems management. While you're online also check out the BC General Aviation Association and have a look at what we are up to. Fun fact: I find it really hard to relate to people that aren't in aviation. It is something that I'm working on.
