Today's Flight Plan

Have you seen the new Star Wars yet? Well, it’s aptly named “The Force Awakens”. I had confidence JJ Abrams would pull it off, but I didn’t know it would be this good.

In this episode we travel far, far away, and learn about what flying is like in the Galaxy. We’ll explore pilot training, regulations, the different type of aircraft, and of course nerd out on some of the Star Wars battle stuff.

Truth is, flying a starship in the Galaxy isn’t that much different from flying an aircraft here on earth- it takes skill, practice and a lot of training.
