On this episode, we are thrilled to welcome back AOPA's Kyle Lewis, Great Lakes Regional Manager. Kyle chats with us about his background in aviation, how he got started with AOPA, and what his role is.

We also take a moment to talk about our efforts to help grow and develop the podcast and a call to action for our listeners. You can show your support and help us grow through sharing the podcast with others, leaving ratings and reviews on your podcasting platform, or even talking about us in social media or in person groups. We would love to keep reaching a wide audience and sharing aviation with others!

If you would like to help us financially, it does actually cost us a bit each month to bring the podcast to you. We have a ton of great merch in our merch store, or you can join our new Patreon! We will have exclusive content, some returns of early FMP segments like CFI Minute and This Week in Aviation History, Jim's attempt at blogging with his CFI Quest, and so much more! And we can't forget to give a HUGE Shoutout to FMP Patron #1, the one and only BADGER PILOT! Thanks so much for the support!
