EP58 - Record your flights safely, or maybe not at all

Listen Later

Many pilots are recording their flights now, whether to learning, or maybe just for content farming. Ben, Brian, and Ted talk pros and cons of filming your flights, and some ways to do it safer - if at all.

Ben also talks about the Fly-In, which is in April. The "midlife compound" is in place and is filling up!
