FlightCast

This week we dive back into our real world pilot series with CRJ Pilot, Jared Dichter. Jared’s passion for aviation is obvious as he takes us through the journey of what led him to this career.  As a first officer for a regional airline in the USA, Jared does short hops and works to accumulate as many hours as he can toward the next phase in his career.  Join us as Mark and Jason chat with Jared to get a look into his world of flying.

This year, a group of Infinite Flight moderators and co-founder, Laura Laban got together for an episode of FlightCast Live! We streamed live to Facebook against our better judgement. You truly cannot tell what might happen when you put this group of people in front of a live audience! Lo and behold, they behaved themselves for the most part, and we got into some great discussion about airplanes, food, and Infinite Flight. Join us to hear the edited version of our live Facebook broadcast. Please note, this was recorded live and although it was edited, you’ll hear Coconut the cat chiming in as well as our FaceTime connection with Joe dropping out and reconnecting several times. It’s real, and it’s flawed, just like us! Please enjoy. Cover photo provided courtesy of Allison Lee Photography.

Steve Thorne is an independent filmmaker and weekend warrior pilot who decided to share his learning experiences as a private pilot with the world.  The idea for Flight Chops was born over dinner with some friends, with a logo doodled onto a napkin.  Since then, the show has almost 58,000 subscribers and over 5 and a half million views on YouTube. So I have to admit that when I cold called Steve to ask if he would give Infinite Flight a try and chat about his experience on FlightCast, I was a little surprised that he said yes!  Join Steve, Mark, and I as we learn the story behind this great pilot tale.
