Though he lives in Texas, Nate Vosburg is more at home in a pair of shrimp boots than cowboy boots. He feels the gravitational pull of the Bayou every day. South Louisiana is home for him, having spent his childhood fishing the rivers, bayous and bays from the Sabine to the Pearl River.
As a general aviation enthusiast and a professional pilot, flying is both his hobby and his job. When he’s not flying doctors, organs, prisoners, or country singers in a jet, he’s probably flying his small plane to West Texas or Northwest Arkansas with a gravel bike and camping gear in the backseat and - roughly half of the time, give or take - his patient and understanding wife Jasmine in the right seat.
But when all the travel keeps him away from home for too long, he hops in his airplane and points it towards New Orleans. He reckons he has spent hundreds of hours crossing South Louisiana solo in his 1967 Piper Cherokee, taking in endless meandering watery scenes at a hundred knots and several thousand feet.
He became a volunteer pilot with SouthWings to share the perspective he is immensely privileged to enjoy of our precious, fragile shared resource - the Louisiana coast.
