A Pilot, a Professor, and a Purpose-Driven Mission | John Moalli

In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with John Moalli from Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands to talk about his aviation journey, his transition from Mooney to Baron to Cessna 206 and eventually into a JetPROP, and how aviation has shaped nearly every part of his life.

John shares what it is like to live and fly from the San Juan Islands, why aviation is such an important part of island life, and how his JetPROP became the perfect airplane for his mission between Friday Harbor and Stanford. He also talks about his background in forensic engineering, his teaching at Stanford, his work helping students design solutions for people with disabilities, and the powerful role general aviation played in changing one young man’s life.

This conversation is about much more than airplanes. It is about using aviation with purpose, continuing to grow as a pilot, and finding the right aircraft for the mission.
