## Resource

In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with JetProp owner Brendan Kiefer to talk about his aviation journey, from growing up around airplanes and studying aerospace engineering to eventually stepping into the PA-46 world. Brendan shares what led him from flying Mooneys into owning a JetPROP, why pressurization and climb performance became important for his family’s mission, and how the aircraft has changed the way they travel. Joe and Brendan also discuss flying in Alaska, avionics upgrades, dispatch reliability, weight and balance, icing considerations, and what it’s like to be part of the PA-46 community as a younger owner. Whether you’re considering a move into a turbine PA-46, curious about JetProp ownership, or simply enjoy hearing real-world owner stories, this is a great conversation about aircraft, training, family travel, and the people who make the PA-46 community so special. 🌐 Visit Us Online - Aircraft Sales & Brokerage: https://flycasey.com - PA46 Aircraft Maintenance: https://www.caseyaviationservices.com
