In this week’s episode, we deal with one of the biggest concerns of any pilot: the possibility of losing our medical certificate. Our guest today is Stefan Drury, a real go-to name for excellent aviation content.
Stefan's popular YouTube channel is packed with fascinating stories and travel adventures, including his epic pilot series flying his Cirrus SR22 across Australia, Europe and the US.
Then, early in 2024, Stefam faced a significant setback with a brain tumour diagnosis and the loss of his medical.
It's been truly inspiring to see how Stefan has approached losing his medical, having to stop flying as a pilot (not knowing what the future held), and how he's moved forward.
In this episode, Stefan shares his insights on navigating that moment, discovering hope and new adventures.
