Inspired by our last conversation with airshow legend Rob Reider, we decided to turn the mic on ourselves and reflect on some of the most valuable lessons we've learned in the cockpit.From equipment failures and unusual attitudes to pilot errors and close calls, aviation has a way of teaching us things that can't be found in a textbook. Whether it's the importance of staying ahead of the aircraft, learning how to handle the unexpected, or the moments that remind us why we love flying, these real-life experiences shape us into better pilots.We're pulling from our own logbooks, sharing firsthand stories, and breaking down the lessons that can make all of us safer, smarter, and more prepared aviators. Whether you're a seasoned pilot or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with insights that might just save you some trouble down the road.So, strap in and join us for some hangar talk, hard-earned wisdom, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.Our Other Content:Badger Pilot on Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thebadgerpilot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AeroExploration: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AeroExploration⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fly the Transition Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fly-the-transition/id1657873290⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe and Follow:Don't miss an episode—subscribe to the Flying Midwest Podcast on your favorite platform and follow us on social media for the latest aviation news and podcast updates. • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://flyingmidwest.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/flyingmidwest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your support helps us keep bringing you high-quality aviation content! • Grab some chart-inspired apparel: Check out the new Midwest.Three design and Badger Gear at our merchstore. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠flyingmidwest.com/merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Join our Patreon community for exclusive content, behind-the-scenes access, and links to LIVE episode recordings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/Flyingmidwestpodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Affiliate links & discounts: • Flying Eyes: Get 10% off with code FlyingMidwest10 – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://flyingeyesoptics.com/FLYINGMIDWEST10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Lightspeed Aviation: Discover premium pilot headsets.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/?campaign=flyingmidwest23&ref=101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Engage with Us:Connect with us on social media or drop us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FlyingMidwestPodcast@gmail.com.

In this special episode of the Flying Midwest Podcast, we pay heartfelt tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of Loren Jones, an exceptional aviator who left an indelible mark on the aviation community. Our last conversation with Loren took place at this year's Airventure, where he graciously shared his unwavering passion for aviation with us during one of our FMP Live from OSH recordings. Not only was Loren a source of inspiration, but he was also a skilled Gyrocopter builder and pilot. In a testament to his expertise, he was awarded a well-deserved 2nd Place Lindy Award in the Gyroplan category. Loren's legacy extends to the countless lives he touched as an instructor, guiding aspiring aviators with patience, expertise, and a genuine love for aviation. On October 8th, Loren was involved in a devastating crash of his beloved Gyrocopter in southern Minnesota, resulting in a crash into the Minnesota River. Though rescue workers displayed incredible bravery in retrieving Loren from the river after the accident, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries, leaving an irreplaceable void in the aviation world. Join us in this emotional episode as we celebrate Loren Jones's lasting impact and reflect on his legacy in the world of aviation. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Loren's family and friends during this challenging time. As we commemorate the life of a true aviation legend, we encourage our listeners to share their own stories, memories, and tributes on our social media channels. Fly high, Loren, and may your inspiration continue to guide and uplift generations of aviators to come.

With heavy hearts we remember and pay tribute to a truly remarkable individual, Richard McSpadden. The aviation world has been shaken by the sudden loss of this extraordinary man, whose impact on the industry was profound. We reflect on the life and contributions of Richard, a former commander of the USAF Thunderbirds and a vice president at AOPA, where he served as the director of the Air Safety Institute. On the afternoon of Sunday, October 1st, 2023, Richard was involved in an aircraft crash near Lake Placid, New York. The Cessna 177RG he was in experienced an emergency upon take off and was unable to make it back to the airport. He and another pilot did not survive. Richard's legacy in the aviation community is nothing short of remarkable. Richard's aircraft incident early analysis videos have left an indelible mark on the aviation community. Through these videos, he shared his knowledge and expertise, providing valuable lessons and fostering a culture of safety within the aviation world. His contributions will continue to guide and inspire pilots for generations to come. Our podcast had the privilege to feature him as a guest. Our paths crossed at Airventure, an event that serves as a focal point for aviation enthusiasts. His warmth and generosity were evident as he graciously spent time chatting with us and even facilitated introductions for future interviews. In memory of Richard and as a token of our gratitude for his contributions, we are republishing our interview with him from this past summer. We hope that by sharing his insights and experiences once more, we can continue to benefit from the wisdom he imparted to us. To Richard's family, friends, and the entire AOPA community, our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Richard's presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy will forever soar in the skies of aviation. www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/air-safety-institute⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AirSafetyInstitute⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/AirSafetyInstitute⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/airsafetyinstitute/
