The Old Fly Guy was truly honored to join Brian Schiff in conversation at Hicks Field, Texas. Many of us know Brian for his calming demeanor taking us through the ins and outs of Foreflight with his detailed training sessions. We also know him for his engagement with many aviation organizations, with a focus on safety and proficiency. In Brian’s latest contribution to aviation, he has brought us the “Schiff Show”. While taking a little pun on his name, this variety program leaves us more empowered to be better aviators. You will quickly come to appreciate his selfless desire to give back to the art of aviation. With his family history in aviation, and a wonderful father mentor, he has demonstrated his craft in both the commercial and general aviation airspace. You will come away with a desire to follow his journey and improve your own personal safety minimums!
