Episode 92 of the Pilot the Pilot Podcast

0:03.0

takes off now.

0:04.0

My name is Stephen Kohler. I fly beavers and turbon otters on floats for Kenmore

air in the summertime and in the wintertime. I winter down in Northern California doing, playing with warbirds and old airplanes.

What is going on, Navy Nation, and welcome back to episode number 92 of the Pilot to Pilot Podcast.

0:34.6

In today's episode, I'm sitting down and talking with Stephen Kohler, who currently flies

for Kenmore Air.

1:08.5
