Air Charter 101 Podcast to Feature Midair Survivor David Rimmer in Special Episode
Podcast Co-Host Opens Up About 2006 Crash and Aviation Safety in Wake of Recent Accidents
NEW YORK, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Air Charter 101 podcast has released a special episode featuring David Rimmer, co-host and aviation safety advocate, who will speak in-depth about his personal experience as a survivor of a midair crash in 2006. In the episode, Rimmer reflects on his harrowing experience and the critical importance of safety in aviation, especially in light of recent accidents and near-miss incidents within the industry.
Although Rimmer has rarely discussed the details of the crash publicly, he has chosen to share his story with Air Charter 101 listeners due to the heightened concerns surrounding aviation safety following a series of recent accidents and incidents, including the tragic midair collision over the Potomac in January. The accident, involving an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter during a training mission, has caused widespread alarm and further underscored the need for enhanced safety measures across both commercial and private aviation sectors.
In the episode, Rimmer sits down with fellow co-host Omar Diaz for a candid discussion about his journey to recovery, the lessons he's learned, and the ongoing importance of safety practices for all involved in aviation. With a deep understanding of the aviation industry, Rimmer is committed to raising awareness about how private jet owners, charter customers, and all those involved in business aviation can prioritize safety to avoid accidents and close calls.
David Rimmer said, "Surviving the 2006 crash was a turning point in my life. It reinforced my belief that safety must always be the top priority in aviation. I've never spoken publicly about that day in great detail, but I feel now, with the rising concerns in our industry, is the right time to share my experience. If it can help raise awareness and prevent another tragedy, then it's worth it."
Omar Diaz shared, "David's story is both powerful and important. In an industry that sometimes takes safety for granted, hearing firsthand from someone who has lived through such an intense experience is a reminder of why we must always stay vigilant and committed to safety on every flight. His courage to speak out is invaluable, and we're proud to give him the platform to do so."
Air Charter 101 provides valuable insights and conversations for those in business aviation.
