We have an up-and-coming content creator attending Aviation Expo 2026 Seattle: Bryce from Skylite Productions! He’ll be hosting a seminar and exhibiting in the marketplace during the event.

Skylite Productions is one of the active aviation YouTube creators, known for high-quality, immersive full-flight videos capturing the complete passenger experience from gate to gate. His content has built a strong following within the aviation community by focusing on real-world airline operations, a wide range of aircraft, and authentic in-flight perspectives. His YouTube channel has grown to 140,000+ subscribers.


During his seminar, Bryce will share insight into how he produces his full-flight content, including filming techniques, equipment setup, planning flights for content, and the realities of traveling frequently to capture unique airline experiences. This session will give attendees a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into running one of the most consistent aviation channels on YouTube. The session will also include time for Q&A, allowing attendees to engage directly and ask questions about his process, experiences, and advice for aviation content creators.
