Flying High with Evan Luft: Calgary Pilot, YouTuber & Aviation Storyteller
What’s it really like to fly over the Rockies, land in a snowstorm, and then edit the footage into a viral cockpit video?
On this episode of The Deets with Duddy—Calgary’s late-night-style podcast spotlighting the city’s most fascinating creators, entrepreneurs, and leaders—we’re joined by Evan Luft, a contract pilot, content creator, and founder of the Luft Bros media brand.
Evan has built a life most people only dream about: flying high above the mountains, filming point-of-view aviation videos, and growing a loyal following of flight enthusiasts through authentic, no-BS YouTube content. In this deep-dive conversation, we talk about his unique path through the aviation world—from learning to fly at 14 to landing deals with Garmin and building a creative brand that fuses adventure, paddleboarding, and storytelling.
🎧 In this episode:
– Becoming a pilot before getting a driver’s license
– The real life of a contract corporate pilot in Canada

– Working with Garmin, paddleboard companies, and sponsors
– The truth about YouTube growth, hate comments, and burnout
