Episode 154- Going Big against the Odds with Thad Spencer

October 9, 2021

Thad hails from Minnesota, just sold a successful musical production company and is addicted to flying. The holy grail in the US has been the 200 mile mark, a distance very few pilots have pulled off and Thad has chased it hard for years. His chase has taken him through the full arc of what you have to learn to send, an arc that of course never ends. This spring he pulled it off in the flats of the MidWest with a 228 mile (very cold) beauty. A little while after he pulled it off he sent me an email that I've posted here nearly in full because...well because we all need a good laugh now and then and it's what lead to this show. Thad tells the "and there I was..." story better than anyone. Grab a whiskey and tuck in, you're in for a treat.
