Simpleflight Radio

Some of our listeners may have heard the SimpleFlight crew refer to the "VFR Bandit".  That moniker was earned by Adam Hirsen, a Chicago entrepreneur that used General Aviation to fly around the country for business.  Not so unusual, until you understand that Adam had not completed his IFR training, so his frequent long trips all were made VFR.  And as the legend goes, he never had to cancel. How does that happen?  That's what we wanted to know, and so Adam joins us on this episode to dispel the myth, or tell us how he pulled it off.  For the record, Adam has earned the right to move on from that title, as he recently earned his IFR ticket, which is a story in and of itself.  Listen in as Adam takes us through his experiences conducting business, while training for what we all know as one of the toughest GA ratings that can be earned.  It's sure to be a great conversation and look forward to you joining us.  As with all SimpleFlight discussions, there is much to be learned from our fellow pilots. ​​​
