Greg Brown: Cockpit Adventures from the Flying Carpet

  • Resumen

  • Greg Brown, “the story-teller-poet-laureate of aviation”

    Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the "Flying Carpet," as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.

    A former National Flight Instructor of the Year, Greg is author of five books, a former Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month, and longtime aviation adventure columnist for AOPA Flight Training magazine. Some reviewers have compared his book, "Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane," to sixties road-trip classics like "On the Road," and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance."

    Says aviation author and humorist Rod Machado: “Greg thinks with the mind of a pilot, questions with the curiosity of a philosopher, and sees with the eyes of a poet.”

    Observes Nina Bell Allen, former “Readers Digest” Asst. Managing Editor, "You don't have to be a pilot, or even a frequent flyer, to soar with Greg Brown in [his] Flying Carpet."

    So buckle in and join Greg for the ride!

    Flight instructing offers some of the most rewarding flying there is. We experience the joy of fulfilling our students’ dreams of flight, become better pilots ourselves in the process, and develop lifelong friendships with many of those we teach.

    But among hours and hours of routine teaching and flying, there are occasional hard lessons, too, most often unanticipated. And those hard lessons are generally even more eye-opening and profound for us instructors than for our students.

    Above all, we learn that while maintaining a relaxed cockpit learning environment, we must never become complacent.

    Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, buckle into the pilot’s seat, and prepare for takeoff on Flight Number 36, “Bowling Alley Hot Dogs.”

    There's been lots of news lately about possible extraterrestrial visits from other planets, other galaxies. And whether the government has been covering it up. In particular, many reports have revealed sightings from airplane cockpits.

    So when a friend messaged the other day asking whether I’d ever experienced UFOs or extraterrestrials in the course of flight, I was reminded of an incident Jean and I experienced years ago in the Flying Carpet. You might call it “Flying Carpet Meets Flying Saucer.”

    So climb into the Flying Carpet. Buckle up your seat belts. And prepare for takeoff on Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #35. “Flying Saucer!”

  • The Day GPS Went Away!

    How many pilots have seriously considered the safety implications of unexpectedly losing GPS navigation in flight?

    Well it happened to us, in clouds over remote and rugged terrain, and as you'll hear, the risks are thought-provoking at best, and potentially deadly without forethought, positional awareness, and preparation...

    This episode could save your life!
