This episode is with Cayla McLeod, the editor-in-chief of Plane & Pilot magazine. We talk about her aviation start with what is now called the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program, where kids earn flight hours working on vintage aircraft. We also explore her travels in Idaho and also how she's rebranding a legacy aviation publication. This is a really fun listen and great opportunity to hear from one of the young voices in aviation!
