Darren Byrd -Geek On The Flight Deck LLC

When I was a kid I didn't know any pilots....I had encyclopedias. They never changed. I started making videos to show what my profession is like. I don't gloat, sensationalize or try to deceive you. I tell it like it is. No paid promotion. No sponsored videos...just my day to day life as a Dad, Airline Pilot and Husband of a Scientist.
