This is a great guide, thank you. I'm hoping to get up with my family to give hem great views. One thing I'd add: I really don't think it's a great idea for pilots to be wearing the eclipse sunglasses themselves. See and avoid other traffic, and focus on giving your passengers the safest flight possible!

100%, that is what I meant to say. Now that I re-listen to it, it sounds like advice pilots should wear those glasses when flying 🙈.. thanks for clarifying here! Can't wait to see you pics of the flight!
