Matt Dearden is "Flying from Shangri-La" which is also the "Worst Place to be a Pilot"
Description
This episode is with with Matt Dearden, a UK-based pilot who was featured in the UK TV program titled "Worst Place to be a Pilot" that followed the adventures of UK pilots building flight time with Susie Air in Indonesia. Matt later wrote a book titled "Flying from Shangri-La" that is an amazing read and recap of his time there. It follows his beginning days in a Cessna Caravan and later in the Pilatus Porter. We talk a lot about those experiences and some not mentioned in the book. I wanted to know how Matt's experiences relate to every pilot in the backcountry, regardless of where in the world the airstrip happens to be located.
