Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way. Listen to “Time Travel,” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #31 One thing I love about flying is that there are so many dimensions to it. It might be as simple as going from point a to point B… For a meeting… Or a “hundred-dollar hamburger.” But sometimes piloting takes you mystically and magically to faraway places—spiritually or across time. And that’s what this story is abou ..read more

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way. Listen to “Eclipse!” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #30 As I record this, we’re just days away from the 2024 total solar eclipse that will traverse Mexico and much of the Midwest and eastern United States. I suspect that many of you plan on flying to see this eclipse, but if you’re not, you probably should be. Plenty of people have experienced a partial solar eclipse, and a ..read more

There’s no doubt that having good pilot credentials is important when job hunting. But from our earliest days as pilots, each of us has learned to revere flight hours. Somewhere back in ground school was buried the subliminal message, “the pilot with the most hours is the best… the pilot with the most hours is the best.” Strictly from an experience standpoint, maybe there’s some truth to this. But the question we’re considering is a little different. “Does the pilot with the most hours always get the job?” Let’s face it; almost every pilot out there yearns for some additional “s ..read more

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way. Listen to “iPads & Icing!” Greg’s Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #29 One thing I’ve learned over many years of piloting is that rarely can we plan a flight, take off, and then not have to think about anything until we reach our destination. More often than not, circumstances arise before takeoff and en route that require planning, strategy, and tactics to us safely where we’re ..read more

Why post a 2018 column now? When I shared this morning’s “Facebook Memory,” touting AOPA Flight Training magazine’s 2020 coverage of my Flying Carpet Podcast debut, my friend Gary Palmer observed, “A great homage and inspiration. But that picture is of a younger year which sounds like you have another story to tell!” There is indeed a story behind that photo, but it’s a sad one. It was taken in 2018 by my late friend Mike Collins, longtime AOPA editor and photographer who passed away of COVID in February, 2021. Gary’s comment revived a flood of memories of working with Mike and socializing t ..read more
