Ep. 108: He Left Welding to Become a Pilot

About this episode

Nick Bowman shares his journey from welding to becoming a flight instructor at Thrust Flight.

Nick Bowman started out working as a welder in the Texas heat. After years in blue collar construction, he realized he wanted a different future and decided to give aviation a chance. In this episode of Pilots Say What , Nick returns to the podcast as a brand-new CFI at Thrust Flight. He talks about what it was like transitioning from student to instructor, why he switched flight schools during his training, how he finished the rest of his ratings at Thrust Flight, and what it feels like to now teach the next generation of pilots.
