    Episode 106 - Mist Approach: The Finest Regional Aviation Podcast
    Apr 1 2026

    It’s that time of year again! The Flying Midwest Podcast proudly presents our annual April Fools’ episode, packed with satirical aviation news, absurd events, and plenty of laughs. We love bringing you these stories every year as a way to kick back, let loose, and celebrate the lighter side of aviation.

    We also want to take a moment to offer a HUGE thank you to our friend Ted from the Midlife Pilot Podcast for his help with our intro. Man, did he deliver and this may have been one of our favorite fun bits yet! THANKS TED!!!


    And another special shoutout to Bryan Turner of Just Plane Silly—while he couldn’t join us this year, he’s been a huge part of our April Fools’ antics in the past, and we truly appreciate his support on our aviation content journey.

    🎧 Buckle up for an episode full of fun, aviation nonsense, and maybe even some unexpected wisdom. Happy April Fools’ Day from The Flying Midwest Podcast!
