The #AskTheAvGeekShow is back and I am happy to have Austin Claborn as a guest. Austin is a young up and coming helicopter pilot who is taking his love of aviation and content creation and bringing them together.

Take a listen to today's episode to hear Austin's $.02 on what aviation means to him and how it's helped him personally. Regardless of age, I know you all will take a few good lessons from Austin.

There has been a lot of aviation topics in the news lately and I believe a few are becoming trend worthy. On this week's episode, I am going to bring you all what I believe to be the Top 5 trending topics in aviation, that you need to be watching out for… at least for the rest of 2018. So far this year there has been some incredible news in the world of aviation but there have been some serious trends that have been popping in in the news more than most. Give today's podcast a listen to find out exactly what I believe those 5 trends to be. If these topics seem familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve been hearing a lot about them throughout the news and social media lately. Not only have you heard a lot about them, but I believe you will be hearing even more about them in the future. I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode of AvGeek Chronicles I want to dive into a topic that I think is sorely overlooked in the aviation world. I want to talk about 5 areas in aviator health that we should take serious pride in! Those 5 topics are stress and mental health, weight management, exercise, rest, and general health checks.These are all important parts of an aviator’s health so listen in and we'll dive a little bit deeper into these.

Welcome to episode 012 of AvGeek Chronicles! I am so stocked to be starting a new pillar show as part of the AvGeek Chronicles Podcast. I am proud to bring you all episode 001 of the #AskTheAvGeek show. The goal of this show is to showcase young aviators out there making a difference and injecting new life into our industry. As I've said in previous episodes, I am 100% convinced that it is going to be the young aviators out there today that are going to bring new life to our industry. If the stories we showcase on this show can convince one person out there to become an aviator, we will have succeeded in our goal. If you know anyone who would be a great addition to the show, please reach out to me on social media at @hodge_che!

I hope you all enjoy our new show and we hope to release more regularly.

Welcome to episode 011 of AvGeek Chronicles! There are a lot of people out there that don't understand why folks in aviation love it so much.

So... on today’s episode, I want to give you all the “Top 5 Reasons why I love Aviation.” I think you all will really connect with this episode and I bet a few of you out there share the same reasons.

I hope you enjoy the episode.

Welcome back everyone for episode 10 of AvGeek Chronicles!

You may say you're not an AvGeek right now but I can guarantee most of you will agree to one of these reasons. If you do, don't be ashamed!

I am now an FAA Private Pilot!!!! Listen in to today's episode and catch up on everything that's been going on.

First I just wanted to apologize for not releasing an episode in a while. Life gets busy and for the last few months my life has pretty much been work, eat, study, fly and spend time with my wife. With that things got busy and I decided to put a small pause on the podcast while I finished up my license.

Now that I’m done, I’m ready to rev the podcast back up and create a great platform to introduce folks to the world of general aviation, through the eyes of a millennial, and all the great things you experience as an aviator.

The AvGeek is back at it and he’s got some big news...I’VE SOLO’ED!! ✈️ What an incredible experience this but I know it was a culmination of a lot of hard work so far. Now that training is half over, its time to get into the second phase. Tune in to today’s episode to check in how I’m doing! Thanks for listening y’all!
