Description

This week our guest joins us from Valdez, Alaska with her story! She has flown everything from Robbies, Hughes 500s , 412s, AS350s, to most recently her personal Bell 505. She’s here to share her journey from traveling the world as a pro snowboarder, to how she developed in the aviation world beginning in Hawaii to starting her own utility helicopter company based in Valdez, AK. In this episode we dive into bush flying in Alaska, and her journey in starting her own utility helicopter company in Alaska. Also...have you guys seen that Bell 505 that looks like a candy cane? Well that's Leigh! She just picked up her new heli and flew an epic cross country journey from Mirabel to the Bahamas, through the midwest, up the coast of Canada to finally reaching her home in Alaska——dang what a journey of inspiring people and bringing joy along the way. Oh and by the by,  she’s also a BA señorita Gravity  pilot getting ready to throw on her racing gear. You guys may know her as @Leighyogipilot on Instagram...handstanding her way around Alaska while spreading her inspiration around the world through her social media. Stay tuned at the end of the episode we are going to review required Aircraft and Pilot Documents and Maintenance Items! *Episode contains some material not suitable for children*
