In this episode of the Plane + Pilot podcast, host Cayla McLeod sits down with Levi Noguess to recap his debut at the High Sierra Fly-In. Levi shares the story of his journey to the Dead Cow Lakebed in a borrowed Legend Aircraft Nomad, including a cross-country trek through New Mexico and Nevada that featured a unique Onewheel commute from the tarmac to his motel room.

The conversation dives into the high-stakes world of STOL Drag racing, where Levi details the technical challenges of competing on the lakebed and the adrenaline of racing against world champion Steve Henry.

Beyond the competition, Levi highlights the "ultimate fly-in" atmosphere, focusing on the camaraderie and backcountry spirit that define the event. He encourages pilots of all levels to explore the STOL scene and experience the unique community found in off-airport flying.
