Flare Aviation Podcast

Kyler Nachtigall never grew up around aviation and never really had an interest in becoming a pilot. It wasn’t until he spent some time on the west coast as a member of the Men’s Varsity Hockey Team at the University of British Columbia, where he took atmospheric science courses with applications to flying while spending his time surfing and admiring the seaplanes in Vancouver Harbor. Kyler chose to withdraw from UBC and pursue a career as a pilot, doing his private training out of Boundary Bay Airport, then his commercial and Multi IFR with Mount Royal University. After doing a summer season of float flying out in NW Ontario, he now flies for Wilderness Seaplanes on Vancouver Island.

Hey Everyone, In todays episode I welcome Yatish (Georgina's dad) and his wife Joan to the show. In this episode I chat with them about the accident involving Georgina Joshi that took the life of her and 4 others back on April 20th, 2006. The NTSB after very little investigation ultimately ended up blaming Georgina for the crash saying she was a young pilot with little experience flying in poor weather,  however, there is so much more to this story than what is seen on the surface.
