Today on AviatorCast we are joined by Josh Flowers from Aviation101. You may know Josh from his popular YouTube channel, where over the past 10 years he has chronicled his growth in aviation from teenager to CFI/I.

You may also remember Josh from the series he and I collaborated on in Alaska. During our time together we had some very epic adventures, and are all viewable through some beautiful material on the YouTube Channel.

Josh and I discuss many things from his beginning and training in aviation, to aviation safety mindset, life as a YouTuber, and other anecdotes in between.
