Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.
Grab your logbook, and join our flying adventure attending a unique “working cowboys” rodeo, and then fleeing thunderstorms on the flight home!
You may remember meeting my cowboy buddy “Baldy” way back in Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #2, “Cowboy Pilot,” in which Jean and I were first invited to the annual “Arizona Cowpuncher’s Reunion.” If you don’t remember that episode, or haven’t heard it, you might want to get to know Baldy via that episode before starting this one.
Regardless, I predict you’ll get a kick out of attending this unique “working cowboys” rodeo, and experiencing our piloting travails flying there and back.
Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, snug up your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “Cowpunchers Reunion: Rough Flight Home.”

There are many dimensions to piloting adventure: some are scary, most are educational, but all are memorable!
Ever heard of St. Elmo’s fire? This episode certainly fits the “scary” category!

Some Lessons a Pilot Never Forgets…
“So this must be Vertigo,” I thought. Nausea circled my gut like the snowflakes orbiting my propeller. I peered out the windshield for landmarks, but snow obscured all but a tiny spot of ground beneath me, even at an altitude of only a thousand feet.

It was almost Christmas, and I was a young University of Illinois student transporting precious parts for my motorcycle home to Champaign…
