Caleb's Aviation Podcast: Patients to Pilots – Caleb & Byron Talk Flying & Overcoming Medical Challenges!

In this episode, I traveled all the way to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 — The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration — to sit down with Byron Waller, better known as Teen Pilot Down Under on social media. Like me, Byron has faced significant medical challenges, but his passion for aviation has never wavered.We discuss his inspiring journey from overcoming health obstacles to becoming a pilot, plus his exciting future plans. I also share a bit of my own story — Byron and I have faced many similar challenges. This conversation is about more than just airplanes; it’s about resilience, determination, and pushing past life’s turbulence to reach new heights.Byron is currently flying with his instructor on his first circumnavigation of the world.

Also thanks to the wonderful people at Sling Aircraft as well as Midwest Panel Builders for allowing us to hang out at Sling Island & to use Sling N915MW the Midwest Edition Sling TSi for our interviews.

In this Episode of my Caleb's Aviation Podcast I have a VERY SPECIAL TREAT! I emailed with a contact of mine at The Naples Executive Airport in Naples, Florida about conducting an interview with an aviation professional, which has always been the goal of my podcast. To interview professionals in the worldwide field that is aviation and to learn more about the people and the potential jobs that play a VITAL ROLE in the aviation industry I enjoy so much! With all that in mind I'd like to introduce you to the Deputy Director of Safety for the Naples Executive Airport, Mr. Justin Lobb. Justin works at Naples Exec Airport (KAPF) in beautiful Naples, Florida and has carried out his role at Naples Airport for almost 10 years now! (As of March 2024) It was such a privilege to speak with Justin and learn more about his incredibly interesting job at one of the world's BUSIEST PRIVATE Airports, that being Naples Executive! Also, when I return to Naples I will make an INSIDE AIRPORTS video part of my new series going behind the scenes and exploring the secretive world of airport operations! So definitely keep an eye on my YouTube Channel (Caleb's Aviation) for that video at some point soon..

Enjoy perhaps my FAVORITE podcast episode to make so far (SORRY TIM from the previous episode! 😂)
