  • Great Episode, look forward to more!

    Enjoyed the war stories and learning more about Tim Tucker’s experiences. The best part for me was the IIMC discussion. As an Army IERW IP, myself and colleagues go IMC quite often, there are a lot of people who don’t realize the surprise and apprehension created by an actual IIMC encounter. Overall great discussion and learning from great individuals.

    I fly HEMS, and when I fly IFR I always have a plan. Going IIMC is an emergency procedure, sure you may formulate a plan of what if’s but at the moment you punch in you’re being behind the aircraft which is unsettling. Land and Live
