CLEARED DIRECT's mission is to creatively share my passion for aviation with the world. I tackle topics related to aviation, tech, travel, and lifestyle. I strive for quality over quantity and strive to respond to each and every comment. While I focused on the Backcountry Bogey's build for a few years, it has evolved into a test-flight channel and will soon become a backcountry adventure channel. If you'd like to book Steve for aviation correspondent services, please reach out via email in the link below.

Find me at Buckeye Sunday morning (2/15). No idea what it’s about or where I’ll be. Coincidentally had a PHX layover and want to see what it’s all about. AOPA is on my s**t list but I like airplanes soooooo…

Between the earthquake, tsunami warnings, and now the disaster at Haneda, I’m not sure how to get home! We’re fine, but a few challenges with getting home from Japan remain. Open to ideas. #wtf2024
