As the engines roar to life, memories of my father's stories fill the cabin—stories of birds mirroring planes and dreams of reaching the stars. This episode of Changing Roads is a family affair, with my dad, Brad, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and pilot, sharing the cockpit with me. Our tales take you from the rumble of takeoff to the gentle bump of landing, unearthing the stories that pilots carry home.

The horizon isn't just a boundary; it's an invitation for the wanderer in each of us. This episode closes with the echoes of a well-traveled teddy bear named Boris, whose journey to Moscow during the twilight of the Cold War revealed the universal longing for connection. As we ponder the allure of distant lands against the pull of home, we share insights from literary explorers and the wisdom of returning with fresh eyes to the places we cherish most. From the thrill of a near-astronaut encounter to the warmth of a homecoming, join us as we celebrate the aviation, it's lessons, and the indelible marks it leaves on our souls.
