- **Event Description**: How I Survived “The Impossible Turn”

What would you do if your engine failed at just 250 feet AGL… with a passenger on board?

Join us for a powerful, real-world breakdown of a moment every pilot hopes to never face — and the critical decisions that can mean the difference between life and death.

Joel — STOL Demo Competitor Pilot, F-16 Instructor Fighter Pilot, Delta Air Lines Captain, ATP, CFII — shares his firsthand experience surviving what many call “the impossible turn.”

In September 2022, Joel faced an engine failure at low altitude and low airspeed — 65 mph, 250 feet AGL — and made the decision to turn back.

👉 Aircraft sustained significant damage
👉 No injuries

This isn’t theory — this is a raw, honest debrief of what happened, what went right, what didn’t, and what every pilot can learn from it.

Come listen. Come ask questions. Come learn.

Whether you’re a seasoned pilot, student, or aviation enthusiast, this is a forum you don’t want to miss.
