Author: Brandon Martini & Carson Vasquez March 22, 2023 Duration: 23:33

Join us on this episode of Aviation Mentors as we explore the fascinating world of ferrying airplanes. We'll dive into the logistics of hiring the right pilots and safely transporting aircraft to their destinations. Have you ever wondered how airplanes are transported from one place to another? Whether it's a brand new aircraft being delivered to a customer, or a plane that needs to be moved for maintenance or repairs, ferrying airplanes is an essential part of the aviation industry. But it's not as easy as just hopping in the cockpit and taking off. In this episode, we'll hear from Brandon who has ferried planes across the country, from small single-engine aircraft to larger multi-engines. Our Aviation Mentors share their experiences and insights into the challenges of long-distance flying, including planning the route, dealing with weather, and managing fatigue. So buckle up and get ready to soar with Aviation Mentors as we delve into the world of ferrying airplanes.

Every Friday, Brandon Martini and Carson Vasquez settle in for a conversation that feels like hanging out in the best kind of pilot lounge. Their Aviation Mentors podcast is built on the idea that the world of flight is vast, connecting everything from engineering and history to personal stories and global culture. They bring their own perspectives as active aviators, mentors, and entrepreneurs to each discussion, creating a space that’s as welcoming to a first-time student pilot as it is to a seasoned airline captain or someone who just loves the sound of a radial engine. You’ll hear episodes that dive into the nuances of technique, the stories behind iconic aircraft and airports, and the broader ways aviation shapes our society and sense of place.
