Dad's Logbooks with Gita Brown

In this episode of the Air Facts Podcast, we talk with writer, educator, yoga instructor, and student pilot Gita Brown about her moving story, “Dad’s Logbooks.”Gita shares how growing up around her father’s sailplane flying eventually led her to flight training later in life—after years of being afraid to fly. We discuss the emotional connection between pilots across generations, the meaning hidden inside old logbooks, and how aviation can shape the way we process grief, identity, and personal growth.We also explore Gita’s work as co-host of The Calm Cockpit, where she and professional pilot John Niehaus discuss pilot mindset, stress management, and practical tools for flying with confidence and focus.
