ABOUT BIGAVIATION

Scott Reisch has been flying airplanes for more than twenty years. Big Aviation started as a YouTube channel for pilots and people who cannot leave the airport fence alone. This site is the morning paper that belongs next to that channel.

We pull public aviation desks — AOPA, AVweb, FLYING, AIN, FlightGlobal, The Air Current, Leeham, Aviation Today, AeroTime, ch-aviation, AvHerald, The Aviationist, TWZ, AirlineGeeks, Simple Flying, NBAA, Vertical, Aerossurance, Mentour Pilot, DroneLife — into one brief. Each story is summarized, tagged, and linked to the original. When something matters to working crews, Scott writes a short take.

This site is:

• A brief, not a wire service.
• A METAR decoder, not an official weather briefing.
• A directory, not a booking engine.
• A watchlist on your device, not an account you have to babysit.
• A Mailchimp 6am list, not a blast to a bought roster.

This site is not:

• A replacement for ForeFlight, 1800wxbrief, or your ops manual.
• A paid classifieds board. Marketplace is parked until it is real.
