Why We Fly

Why We Fly is a General Aviation podcast sharing pilot stories that illustrate the reasons behind why we choose to fly airplanes. We hope to share the adventure, excitement, and incredible experiences of flying. The goal is to entertain pilots and more importantly to inspire potential pilots to learn more about flying and hopefully one day become pilots themselves. Almost anyone can fly. We are here to share the Why.

034 Driving vs. Flying vs. Airlines

Why We Fly ·

2017/05/15

A very common question I get from people who don't know much about General Aviation is how long does it take to get places and how much it costs. So on this episode I take several trip scenarios and compare the time & fuel cost for driving, flying a General Aviation airplane like mine, and flying on the airlines. This is a great frame of reference for someone who in interested in learning about General Aviation for personal or business travel! THANKS to our sponsors! Nashville Flight Training
