Cruise Flight:

On May 9th, 2011 the first episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast was published. Len Costa creator of the show about learning to fly, living to fly and loving to fly brought us entertaining and informative content that continues to this day. In April of 2014, Len set off on an incredible journey outside of aviation with exciting travels and experiences. As years past he realized that you can take the pilot out of aviation buy you can’t take aviation out of the pilot. And now he’s back. Today we are excited to have Len on the show to talk about his journey to the back to the flight deck and flying again. Welcome back, Len Costa! 

  • Why he left the cockpit of an airliner.
  • His journey back to the flight deck.
  • You can take the guy out of aviation but you can’t take aviation out of the guy.
  • Flying the PC12.
  • How Len inspired me to create Aviation Careers Podcast.
  • His next adventure.
