The Pilot Project Podcast

What is it like to refuel a fighter over Iraq? What about going straight to one of the largest aircraft in the RCAF from a small twin engine turboprop? How can chair flying change the way you train, and how do you do it properly? Jeff will tell us all these things and many more.

Jeff walked into the RCAF with zero flight experience. Now, Jeff has flown all over the world in the CC-150 Polaris. He has immense experience and is now a qualified multi-engine instructor at 3 Canadian Forces Flight Training School. Jeff will talk about what it's like to fly royalty, Prime Ministers, and other dignitaries around the world. He talks about the importance of stress outlets, mental rehearsal, and support structures, as well as the importance of taking things one day at a time.
