Emily, aka "Thug" and I connect for a destination episode in Asheville. We had initially attempted to record at the Butler County Airport following a tour of the rotor wing she rides in as a flight nurse, but a patient transport derailed our plans. Reconnecting in our lovely AirBnB she gracefully walks me through a day in the life of a flight nurse.
