A lot of people have asked in the comments and in emails: "How can I afford aviation?" In this video I wanted to give an honest take at the steps I've taken in my life to help make aviation more financially feasible. The extended seasons where I haven't flown in my life were due in large part to money, so if you are struggling to afford aviation, you aren't alone.
I hope this video helps you in your aviation journey!
