#74 Mitchell Banks: Private Pilot is still waiting for his special issuance after five years.

35 min • 13 april 2023

This week we spoke to long time supporter and Pilot, Mitchell Banks. Mitchell reached out in 2021 to tell us his story and how he resonated with our mission after having his medical revoked five years ago. Now we are finally sitting down to discuss his aeromedical journey and how he still doesn’t have his third class special issuance. • SOCIAL LINKS- Instagram: https://Instagram.com/thepilotspandemic https://instagram.com/emneonicon https://Instagram.com/thefitaviatrix Link for aeromedical reform petition: https://www.change.org/apilotspandemic WEBSITE: https://msha.ke/thepilotspandemic/ SPONSORS: www.avi-foods.com @avi_foods_co Code:pilotspandemic
