    Welcome to the season finale of the Forever on the Fly Podcast! What a journey the second season has been delving into the lives of some seriously awesome pilots and human beings…and of course we want to finish Season 2 strong with our next guest!

    He has accumulated over 18,000 flight hours over his 30+ year career. 15,000 of those were spent shooting for over 160 films and countless commercials making him one of the biggest names in aerial cinematography history. 

    Additionally in 2002, he set the world record for altitude flown in a helicopter climbing to a whopping 42,000 feet in an AS350B2! 😳 Don’t try this at home kids…

    You’ve probably seen his videos on instagram, you’ve DEFINITELY have reaped the benefits of his aerial production in theaters, but were here to get to know the man behind the camera, and a behind the scenes look into what goes into the complicated aerial sequences he performs.

    We can’t wait to start recording SEASON 3! I will keep you posted on our next release date. If you enjoyed this season don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review on @applepodcast. As always we love to hear from you guys!

  • Capt.Lindsey Jefferies Jones: Level Your Wings
    Jan 24 2022

    What to say, what to say about our next guest. She was the very first African American female Black Hawk pilot for the North Carolina National Guard. But not only is she a trail blazer, she's someone that exudes her love for aviation in everything she does. She’s the definition of a leader through and through. 

    Not only has she displayed immense courage and leadership commanding and coordinating helicopter rescue missions during multiple catastrophic hurricanes, but when she’s not out saving lives and serving our nation, she's bringing her leadership skills home by working as a personal trainer and accountability coach to the masses. 

    We all know that being a pilot puts a strain on relationships. We typically have to uproot our lives every few years chasing those flight hours. Well, Lindsey puts her master's degree in Clinical Mental Health with a focus on couples and family counseling to work in her new book, Level Your Wings: A pilot’s guide to healthy relationships. 

    She’s here to chat about her career in the National Guard, favorite fly ing stories, her new book, and stick around until the end of the episode where Lindsey will share her top 5 relationship nuggets from one aviator to another.
