JustIn the Clouds: Justin McShane

JustInTheClouds2992 is the true story of a family man who decided it’s never too late to chase a dream or to put that dream to work helping others. After my father passed away, I was asked a simple question that changed everything: “What childhood dream did you never follow?” At 47 years old, I finally gave the answer out loud and on Halloween 2023, I began my journey to become a pilot. I'm now almost 50.

Today, I’m a private pilot flying a Diamond DA40 (N208DS) out of KCXY, IFR rated and 350+ flight hours. My mission is bigger than aviation: I am a volunteer pilot, flying people in medical need and children with cancer to their medical treatments and delivering disaster-relief supplies to communities in crisis.

On this channel, you’ll experience every flight, milestone, challenge, and triumph as I turn a late-life dream into a purpose-driven calling.

Follow my journey to becoming a Pilot for Kindness and see how aviation can change lives, one mission at a time.
