In this inaugural episode of "Hometown Jax," host Aaron Bacus sits down with Eric Carson, a seasoned pilot with a treasure trove of flying experiences and stories. From hair-raising mechanical malfunctions at 43,000 feet to behind-the-scenes encounters with celebrities like Paul McCartney, Britney Spears, and Robert De Niro, Eric shares candidly about the realities and thrills of life in the sky. With his insider knowledge, Eric also answers some of our biggest questions about turbulence, the safety of flying, and even the mystery of the Mile High Club.
As a Jacksonville native, Eric’s story isn't just about flying—it's about commitment, growth, and sacrifice. He opens up about the challenges of balancing family life with a demanding career and the impact his journey has had on his loved ones. Join us for a captivating conversation that goes beyond the cockpit and deep into the life of one of Jacksonville's very own.
