In this episode of Flight Tales, we sit down with Brian Hayes, a fish spotter pilot who racks up over 700 hours in just six months flying low along the Gulf Coast. Brian shares the gritty details of what it’s like to fly for the commercial fishing industry—circling schools of fish, communicating with boats via secure radios, and making high-stakes calls that affect million-dollar hauls. From near-misses with weather to late-night landings and unforgettable sights on the water, this episode is packed with stories from one of aviation’s most unique careers.
