Today's episode is a very special one. Our guest, Brian Addis, has spent his working life dedicated to aviation education.

Brian has since administered well over 13,000 flight exams for pilots and today works closer to his roots as a flight instructor. He is well-versed in educational psychology, flight experience, and flight training. Brian has an amazing story to tell and so much to offer to new and experienced aviators today. Enjoy the show!
