“The Importance of Communication in Aviation”
Rob Mark was an airplane geek long before the 10-year old podcast of the same name that he co-produces was ever created. Flying since he was 17, Rob’s logged nearly 7,000 flight hours in a variety of aircraft, from small trainers to business turboprops and jets and even Airbus’ A380. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, as well as flight instructor and control tower operator ratings.
Rob is Flying magazine’s Senior Editor. In addition to years writing for publications like Air and Space, AOPA Pilot, Aviation International News, and the Chicago Tribune, he’s the author of five McGraw Hill aviation books. He’s twice received the Airbus Aerospace Journalist of the Year award at the Paris Air Show, as well as the National Business Aviation Association’s Award for Outstanding Journalism.
In addition to the Airplane Geeks podcast, Rob’s blog, Jetwhine.com, this month begins its 11th continuous year in production. He spent five years as an adjunct lecturer at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, from which he earned his MS in 1995.
