  • Where the Road Ends and the Flying Begins — Bush Pilot Nate Herbert & Black Moose Outpost

    Where the Road Ends and the Flying Begins — Bush Pilot Nate Herbert & Black Moose Outpost
    Apr 7 2026
    🎧 Episode Summary

    Ever heard the sound of a de Havilland Beaver buzzing over water at dawn? For most of us, that's pure adventure movie material. But for Nate Herbert, growing up in Red Lake, Ontario—once the world's second-busiest airport during the 1930s gold rush—that was just another Tuesday morning. In this incredible episode, we dive into the wild world of bush flying with one of Canada's most authentic aviation voices, exploring how a kid who used to hate flying (seriously, he'd puke off the floats) became the pilot behind Black Moose Outpost's fleet of nine aircraft serving 12 remote wilderness camps.

    From emergency wildfire response to luxury fly-out fishing adventures, Nate's story proves that the most authentic paths in aviation often start with the most unexpected motivations. His advice for aspiring bush pilots? Forget the romance—focus on character, hard work, and the reality that in bush flying, no two landings are ever the same.

    Plus, we explore the legendary de Havilland Beaver in our Vintage Aircraft Spotlight and preview our upcoming SUN 'n FUN coverage that's going to be absolutely epic.

    ✨ Key Points
    • 🛩️ Bush flying isn't about romance—it's about problem-solving, character, and landing on lakes that change every single day
    • 🔥 Wildfire season transforms luxury outfitters into emergency responders, flying into smoke with half-mile visibility
    • ✈️ The Pilatus PC6 Porter is Nate's pick for most capable bush plane—able to land in 150-200 foot gaps between obstacles
    • 🎯 Getting hired as a bush pilot? Flight hours help, but employers want to see hard work experience like welding, farming, or firefighting
    • 🤖 AI can't automate adventure—bush flying careers are among the most future-proof in aviation

  • Sport Pilot 2.0 & How to Get Into Aviation Industry Sales

    Sport Pilot 2.0 & How to Get Into Aviation Industry Sales
    Mar 31 2026
    🎧 Episode Summary What happens when a single rule change unlocks an entirely new generation of aircraft—and new opportunities for people who dream of flying? In this episode, host Shawn Staerker explores one of the most important developments in modern general aviation: MOSAIC, often called Sport Pilot 2.0. You’ll learn how this long-awaited FAA modernization could allow aircraft to fly faster, carry more passengers, and cost less to operate—while opening the door for more people to enter aviation without a traditional medical certificate. But the conversation doesn’t stop on the flight line. Shawn also introduces listeners to aviation entrepreneur Tom Lelyo, who took an unexpected path from youth ministry to selling private jets—and built a thriving career in aviation sales along the way. His story reveals a powerful truth: you don’t have to be a pilot or mechanic to succeed in aviation. And in our monthly history segment, we travel through the remarkable milestones of March—from the first successful parachute jump from an airplane to the invention of liquid-fueled rockets, the birth of Top Gun, and the daring solo flight around the world by Steve Fossett. This episode is about innovation, opportunity, and the many different doors into aviation—some technical, some entrepreneurial, and some still waiting to be discovered. Thank you to our long-time show supporters—TL Sport Aircraft, builders of modern, efficient aircraft designed to expand access to flight training and recreational aviation. Explore their lineup and see the future of light aviation up close at the upcoming SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo 2026. ✨ Key Points Understanding MOSAIC (Sport Pilot 2.0) Introduced to modernize the Light Sport Aircraft category first created in 2004.Removes the long-standing 1,320-pound weight limit for many aircraft.Shifts focus from weight limits to stall speed as the key safety metric.Allows up to four seats in qualifying aircraft.Opens the door to turbine engines, retractable gear, and more advanced avionics.Designed to make aircraft more capable while maintaining strong safety standards. How MOSAIC Could Change Flight Training Modern aircraft can carry more payload, including students and examiners.Lower fuel burn and maintenance costs may reduce the cost of flight training.New aircraft technology increases student interest and engagement.Flight schools may gain access to more efficient and capable training aircraft.Expands pathways into aviation for younger and cost-conscious students. Spotlight: Modern Light Aircraft Innovation Composite construction and glass cockpits are becoming standard in training aircraft.New engines offer higher performance with improved fuel efficiency.Aircraft design is shifting toward capability, safety, and operational flexibility.Manufacturers are preparing new aircraft models ahead of finalized regulations. Aviation Careers Beyond the Cockpit Aviation sales is a growing career path within the industry.Private jets can be accessible to business owners and professionals—not just billionaires.Success in aviation sales depends on persistence, communication, and relationship-building.Creating educational content can help build trust and professional credibility.Mentorship and community play a critical role in career growth.
