Trevor Simoneau shares with the story of his very first GA flight as a participant in EAA Young Eagles, which led to his journey to becoming a private pilot. To wrap up the episode Trevor shares his next big adventure with us. You don't want to miss this.
Trevor started his journey into general aviation at age ten. From there on, only the sky was the limit. In order to afford flight training, Trevor did what any kid his age would do: he started a business selling aviation apparel. With that, http://ChartItAll.com was born.
Trevor soloed a Cessna 172P on this sixteenth birthday, and he will have his private pilot certificate shortly after turning seventeen. As if that's not enough already, Trevor has announced that he is planning to fly a single-engine airplane around the world all by himself. His mission is to encourage grade school kids at all levels to follow their dreams.
Follow along on his journey, and stand behind him as he makes this epic journey to share aviation and STEM education with the entire world.

Abingdon is fully immersed in aviation and has made it her career. In these Logbook Memories, she tells the story of a pair of rather harrowing ferry flights.
Abingdon's ratings include CFI, CFII, and ATP, and she holds several type ratings. Abingdon is a respected ferry pilot. In this episode, she tells the story of a couple of her earlier ferry jobs.
When she isn't flying, Abingdon is running her business designing and selling "Adventurous watches for adventurous women". Abingdon wanted to reward herself with a new aviator watch after accomplishing a difficult goal only to find there weren't any decent women's watches available. So she got to work and designed her own.

Ken VeArd has flown into EAA AirVenture Oshkosh five times, and he shares the story of four of those trips with David and Mike. The second of those flights was flown with David in the right seat, so we get to hear his perspective as well.
Ken has been involved in aviation since 1997 when he created the first version of the Pilot Partner electronic logbook. Since then, Ken has flown many different types of aircraft and is even an accomplished skydiver. With all of his flying experience, we could created a whole season of Logbook Memories. For now, we will stick with flying to the World's Greatest Aviation Adventure, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

In this episode of Logbook Memories, our friend Kirby tells the story of a trip he and his girlfriend took to Ingalls Field (KHSP), the highest public-use airport east of the Mississippi River. It's a very picturesque airport, but that's not the only reason they chose to go there.
Kirby is a member of a local flying club based out of Valkaria (X59) on Florida's Space Coast. He regularly flies the club Cessna 182 Skylane, and on this particular trip, he and his girlfriend were heading up to Virginia for Thanksgiving.

Rod Rakic, founder of OpenAirplane and FlyOtto, tells the story of a flight he and his companions took from Opa Locka near Miami, FL down to Key West. And yes, there was pie.
Rod founded OpenAirplane with the goal of making renting an airplane as easy as renting a car. The mission: rent an airplane at an unfamiliar FBO, sight unseen, avoiding the red tape and typical "local checkout", fly somewhere awesome, and return the airplane without having to spend hours going over local procedures with an instructor from the FBO. And it worked.

Victoria is an experienced commercial pilot with a confidence problem. She found herself having lots of time in her logbook, but the circumstances under which she flew those hours began to make her a rusty pilot. When she realized this, she began to doubt her abilities. Victoria tells the story of her struggles to overcome this confidence and competency problem in the cockpit, and the victory that ensures months later.
The first segment of this episode was recorded at the 2018 SUN 'n FUN Fly-In on the deck of SUN 'n FUN Radio. There's a lot of background noise, so we hope you we bear with us as we add a little "atmosphere" to the episode.
We would like to thank Victoria for taking the time to talk to us on the show. She was open and honest about her flying experiences. Hopefully this episode encourages more pilots to take a close look at their flying experiences. We can all be better in some area of aviation.
