Turbulence, Terrain, and Meeting @Wairworthy | Flying to St. George Utah

Bumpy skies, stunning views, and one unforgettable meetup 👀 In this episode, we depart Las Vegas in my 1957 Cessna 182 and head north over Lake Mead and the desert terrain en route to St. George, Utah. The turbulence over the hot rocks made for one of the bumpiest rides I’ve had in a while — but it was all worth it to catch up with the legendary ‪@wairworthy‬ for a behind-the-scenes tour of his incredible airplane. Come along for the full flight experience: cockpit audio, multi-cam footage, honest flying moments, and one very cool aviation collab at the end. 📍 Route: Las Vegas (HND) → St. George, Utah (SGU) 🌤️ Conditions: Hot, high, and very bumpy 🛩️ Aircraft: 1957 Cessna 182 “Mojo” 🎙️ Special Guest: @wairworthy 🎧 NEW PODCAST: Captain John Doe Listen to wild, anonymous aviation stories every Wednesday 📱 Available on Spotify, Apple, YouTube & more 🌐 captainjohndoe.com 🔔 Subscribe for more real flying adventures, cockpit stories, and pilot life vlogs! 👍 Like + Comment to help this video reach more aviation fans. #cessna182 #aviationvlog #lakeMead #turbulentflight #pilotlife #femalepilot #wairworthy #stgeorgeutah #generalaviation #flyingmojo 🧑‍✈️ About Us: Mindy is an ATP-rated pilot, CFI, and CFII with over 13 years of flight experience.
