Flight #10 - Extreme Flying on Either Side of the Earth's Surface

This week we talk with two extreme fliers who work on opposite sides of the earth's surface.  They explain what it takes to make it in this industry, how they deal with troubling situations that could be fatal, which tools in their toolbox they rely on heavily, and how a Boston Dynamics Spot robot ended up on YouTube because it was at a bar.
