Hey FlightCast Listeners!

I’m really excited to introduce our next guest on the podcast; Instagrammer, commercial/Instrument/Seaplane pilot, as well as private helicopter pilot. You may recognize his name from Instagram because his plane spotting photos are glorious. Check him out and follow here:

We’ve invited Deon to come and have a chat with us, and it will be the second in our plane spotter series and also part of our real world pilot series. Please ask questions and remember to try and keep them relevant for us to consider them.

He’s currently at Sun 'n Fun so keep that in mind when asking questions!

Thanks!

Based on this photo it looks like you flew a Cessna into a class bravo/charlie airport. What is it like flying a GA aircraft into a big airport? Do you feel the intimidation having other heavies around you?
