#21 Whoopsie Daisies! Ground Loops, Bird Strikes & Almost Dying in Nepal


Listen Later


A loose, unfiltered catch-up with the boys covering everything from flying over Christmas with medevac runs and life in the cockpit. What starts as casual chat quickly turns into a string of “whoopsie daisy” moments—ground loops, rough strips, turbulence hits, and the kind of decisions that seem like a good idea… until they aren’t.
