Mike and Matt rescued my wife and I out at grasshopper valley when we got stuck sheep hunting during the crazy storm in the fall of 2012. Amazing guys.

16:02 "Don't do anything you're not comfortable with." I love his talking point on this. I'm surround by CFI's and Commercial Pilots who will hear there's a gusting crosswind of 18 and won't fly because the max demonstrated crosswind was 17. I will never actively shame anyone for choosing not to fly when they're uncomfortable, but if you're going to be a professional, you're going to have to do some uncomfortable things. You might as well be a little uncomfortable intentionally (by taking off into known crosswinds and learning how the plane flies in a fairly controlled environment) before you're notifying ATC of your fuel remaining trying to find a calm runway somewhere in Oklahoma because the intended destination is above the max demonstrated crosswind.

Great podcast! Pretty cool to find out Matt flew an Arctic Tern around while growing up. Great to get his perspective of flying in and around the mountains where I live.

Dont ever think you have all the answers for Alaskan flying; no one knew more than the late, great Jim Tweto🥲

great interview, I'd like to see a similar one with float flying in the mountains with small lakes at elevation.

Supercapacitors are handy for starting aircraft and other machines in winter also; very high max current spins things fast. Not much cranking duration, but charges even from a dead battery.

I really appreciate the validation of my natural cynicism at the end. The bonus content was great. I did not expect JP to enter a conversation about flying but it fit perfectly into the subject.

Great point about the “positive thinking” mindset. We need those people. We just don’t need them flying airplanes. Probably should stay away from boats too.

Great interview! I really appreciated the comment “go around will kill you.” I had never considered the possibility of getting trapped in a rut of thinking they were always an option. The explanation of the meaning, and his techniques for dealing with approaches was very enlightening and informative. I learned a lot from him, and enjoyed the casual conversation style. Thanks.
