Captain Barry Lee is the kind of pilot every nervous flier hopes to meet: calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping others feel safe in the air. A Boeing 717 Captain, Barry’s career has spanned everything from teaching new airline pilots in turbo props, to mentoring and evaluating pilots in regional jets like the CRJ700 and CRJ900 to long-haul operations on the Airbus A350.

That broad experience gives him a deep understanding of how modern aircraft work, and how every layer of redundancy and safety fits together to make commercial aviation remarkably secure. Beyond flying, Barry is actively involved in his company’s Safety Management System, where he helps analyze and improve daily operations to keep flights running smoothly.

Within the No Fear Flight Club, Barry leads guided monthly lessons that help members demystify aviation. Whether it’s turbulence, takeoffs, or the technology behind the cockpit, he explains it all in plain language with patience and empathy.

Having the heart of a teacher, his teaching style is relaxed but professional, making him a great resource for anyone with extensive questions. If you’re looking to replace anxiety with understanding, Captain Barry makes it easy to see flying the way pilots do: safe, predictable, and built on layers of precision and care.
