EP176 - Flying With Pilots, Strangers, and Stranger Pilots

There's nothing more dangerous than a plane full of pilots. A wise man with a Pilatus once told Brian that, and he's been thinking about it ever since. Episode 176 is a deep dive into one of GA's most awkward social puzzles: what do you actually do when you need to evaluate another pilot before you get in the plane with them? And flip side — what should a non-pilot passenger even know to ask before trusting their life to someone with a certificate and a Cessna?

Also: Ted went flying with no engine. On purpose. Loved it. Needs more rudder.
