Summary

Avination, welcome back to episode 98 of the Pilot to Pilot podcast. I'm currently on vacation in Key West watching seaplanes take off and land all day. Which is fitting, since today, I am talking with seaplane pilot Deon Mitton. Deon talks about his love of aviation and when it first started, why he initially pursued a career in tech and not aviation and of course, why he decided to change his career back to aviation.
