Greg Brown: Cockpit Adventures from the Flying Carpet

12

Greg Brown, “the story-teller-poet-laureate of aviation”

Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the "Flying Carpet," as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way. 

A former National Flight Instructor of the Year, Greg is author of five books, a former Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month, and longtime aviation adventure columnist for AOPA Flight Training magazine. Some reviewers have compared his book, "Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane," to sixties road-trip classics like "On the Road," and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." 

Says aviation author and humorist Rod Machado: “Greg thinks with the mind of a pilot, questions with the curiosity of a philosopher, and sees with the eyes of a poet.” 

Observes Nina Bell Allen, former “Readers Digest” Asst. Managing Editor, "You don't have to be a pilot, or even a frequent flyer, to soar with Greg Brown in [his] Flying Carpet." 

So buckle in and join Greg for the ride!

    Not your average aviation podcast
    A delightful and worthwhile change from the dozens of other “how to” and “what not to do” aviation podcasts. Greg Brown has a knack for telling a good story- the common and uncommon ones that go beyond a few hash marks in a logbook. His true-life pilot stories are relatable to all of us that fly as well as those that aspire to become pilots.

    Fabulous story!
    Greg is an amazing storyteller. We felt like we were in the cockpit with him, as he rediscovered an "old pal." Even folks that aren't into aviation would enjoy listening to his compelling stories.

    Beautiful story teller
    I have admired and followed Greg’s presentations since the early 1990’s, and have just finished listening to his pilot (first) podcast. His prose poetic style of story telling drew me in and I connected immediately, as if I was joining on his journey on the Magic Carpet.
