In this episode of the Flying Midwest Podcast, we’re flying solo—but with a purpose. Inspired by our last conversation with airshow legend Rob Reider, we decided to turn the mic on ourselves and reflect on some of the most valuable lessons we’ve learned in the cockpit.

From equipment failures and unusual attitudes to pilot errors and close calls, aviation has a way of teaching us things that can’t be found in a textbook. Whether it’s the importance of staying ahead of the aircraft, learning how to handle the unexpected, or the moments that remind us why we love flying, these real-life experiences shape us into better pilots.

We’re pulling from our own logbooks, sharing firsthand stories, and breaking down the lessons that can make all of us safer, smarter, and more prepared aviators. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with insights that might just save you some trouble down the road.

So, strap in and join us for some hangar talk, hard-earned wisdom, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
