EP174 - Information Whiskey: Just Don't Do It. Just Don't Do It.

Episode Description from the Publisher

Ted "puts a ring on" his airplane in the most permanent way possible. A Colorado hotel owner proves that "not a Patreon supporter" and "free advertising" aren't mutually exclusive. We talk IFR currency, what it's like to come back to instrument flying after 20 years of VORs that no longer exist, and why the marine layer off the west coast might be the greatest IFR playground on earth. A 56-year-old gets his ticket back, another gets his for the first time, and somewhere between teenage phone anxiety and shooting approaches in the Pacific fog, we remember why all of this matters.
