Welcome back! We are in the studio after a two-week break to catch up on things. The weather is changing, airshow seasons are wrapping up and people are settling in for the winter. We talk about how excited we are to get our LIFT AV2.1 helmets soon, and other random stuff. Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back! This week we talk about Marks' airplane getting back together finally, and the differences and significance of not having a fuel gauge reading for the acro tank on a mid-wing Extra versus a low-wing Extra. We also talk about the incident at the Bathhurst 1000 race where Hayden Pullen landed at the track and subsequently hit the barrier wall with his right horizontal stab. Lots of things wrong with that whole sequence. We also talk about the unfortunate passing of airshow pilot Chuck Coleman, who died at the Los Cruses Air and Space Expo last week. RIP Chuck.
Here is the video of Haydens' approach, landing, and impact with the wall:

Welcome back! Sorry for the long break! Jeff is back from Nationals and the topic of the day is (spoiler alert) airplanes again. This time we get into issues with manufacturing, or issues that arise due to how hard these airplanes get flown. All manufacturers have had issues and problems over the years and we talk about how we have handled those issues as an industry, and also how the public perception and judging of these issues has occurred over the years. What are your thoughts? Are we all too hard on manufacturers when an issue presents itself?

Welcome back! This week we talk warbirds with Loren Marburg. Loren is a friend so it was great to catch up and get to know him better. We get into T-6 flying, bombers, aerobatic and ferry flights, and so much more. We also talk about the two Electra crashes, most notably the second crash with Vido which shows that either the tailwheel was left unlocked, or the locking pin sheered, causing the airplane to veer off the runway. We wish everyone a speedy recovery!
