Wing Walking.......Yeah right!!   You won't catch me climbing out of the cockpit of a perfectly good airplane and climbing all over it, but to Wing Walker Jana Leigh Mcwhorter, that's an every day event for her.  You see these incredible people at just about all of the major airshows around the country.  The thrill and excitement of the danger involved has got to be one of the most adrenaline pumping activities there is.  I was able to catch up with Jana and talk to her about what it is like to crawl all over the wings and perform in front of thousands of people.   Jana has an incredible story and it was a pleasure getting the opportunity to interview her.   She performs a few times a month at an authentic flying circus that replicates the events from back in the 1920's and 30's.  Listen as Jana takes us through what it is like to be a Dare Devil Wing Walker.

This is the very first episode of the My Pilot Chronicles Podcast.  I will be bringing you all kinds of things in the aviation world.  In this first episode, I felt it right to go back to my beginnings.  I had the pleasure of interviewing the man who taught me how to fly, Mr. Robert Johnston CFII.   Robert is a local flight instructor at the Clark Field Municipal Airport in Stephenville, Texas.   He has been teaching people to fly for the last 10 years.   We discuss how Robert entered the aviation world and what keeps him motivated even still today.   Join me as Robert takes us through the steps of obtaining a Private Pilots License.
