Episode 074 | If it ain't Boeing | Part 5
29/06/2020 Duration: 50minAt the risk of beating this dead horse beyond recognition, I just… It just keeps on going. It ain’t over yet, and of course, I’m talking about the 737 max saga. But I can’t let you all go any longer without an update, and COVID or not, there’s a lot going on. And in one case, it might finally be time to shine.Congrats to Seattle Times for a Pulitzer for Boeing coverage!MCAS to a Software Engineer ArticleAerotime Article 1Aerotime Article 2AviationWeek Human factors legislationGary Kelly's Growth plansSupport: https://www.patreon.com/podcastingonaplaneBuy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BravoGolfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingonaplane/Twitter: podcastonaplaneWebsite: www.podcastingonaplane.comPlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code: delta Music by: Damma Beatz Make sure to use good equipment!Bose Headset: https://amzn.to/2FFaKjNBose ProFlight: https://amzn.to/2VZAJrPLightspeed Sierra Headset: https://amzn.to/2suAqYALightspeed Zulu 3 Headset: https://amzn.to/2RPGg5i David

073 | The Future | Imperium Jets | Airline Business Check-in
04/06/2020 Duration: 35minIt’s been a minute since the last episode. And the last two have both been about COVID related topics, and I’m proud of them, and hopefully they’ve helped make a small difference in someone’s decision making. But the constant low lying threat out there, plus the fact that I’ve not been flying in months, coupled with the weird work schedule, and the lack of social connection with friends and family has really started to add up for me. And I’m sure for you too. But the thing that really seems to be at the center of it all is that eventually, I felt that I lost my creativity. The drive to make content, the drive to become a better pilot, and share what I know, and learn from others. And when that went, I felt down, and I needed to concentrate on getting the background stuff right again. And luckily, I found some stuff that really helped, and now I’m feeling a lot better. Full of cautious optimism if you will… https://imperiumjets.com PlaneEnglish ATC app iOs AND Android (use code "delta" for 10% off!)https://www

The Dilemma with Chris Dunn
20/04/2020 Duration: 45minOn a short break at work, I was scrolling through instagram, and I saw a post that really struck a chord with me. It was by aeroprollc. Which is the company of a great fan of the show, whom you’ve heard more than once reading the post show disclaimer like a seasoned radio pro. And it’s no surprise, since he’s no stranger to broadcasting… His name is Chris Dunn, and he’s known as “The Flying Weatherman” from Gulf Shores Alabama. He’s got a unique perspective on things, and I’ve been looking for a good time to get him on the show. And this is it!

071 | Staying Home with Dr. Eric Fine
06/04/2020 Duration: 42minUnpleasant as it is, that’s what we all need to be doing right now. Staying home. Social distancing, being careful. It’s the only way to slow and maybe even stop the spread of this terrible virus that it’s hard to predict how will affect a person.So, in these scary, never seen before times, we’re all forced to reality check ourselves in a way we’ve probably never had to do before. And as we stay home (that’s what you’re doing right??) I want to give you some legitimate ways to stay connected, to stay informed, and to protect yourself as an aviator. I’ve got a doctor here to give us some facts, and answer some gray area questions about Coronavirus and flying. Try PlaneEnglish App with 10% discount.

065 | Spy Week Part 5 | The Final Flight | Stormy Boudreaux, John Manzi, Robby Butterfield
30/11/2019 Duration: 01h02minThis was life. It was as unique as any program could be.These gentlemen you’ve heard from lived it, and they could have just retired. Hung up the flight suit, and sailed off into the history books. But they didn’t. And to think they would have, would be to miss the point that those who were chosen and successful in the SR Program were truly a cut above. And don’t worry, they’re in the history books already. But for an SR crew, that’s not good enough, because even though you could buy a book about the SR anywhere, or check one out at the library, and I recommend you do. These guys are still traveling around, 30 years later, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE to make sure that their stories don’t expire on their watch. And to do their part to inspire youth, and people of all ages to participate in this amazing thing we call aviation.And that, is how you leave a legacy.I want to thank you personally for being here all week and hearing these stories. On such a special series like this, I won’t be back at the end with an outro,

064 | Spy Week Part 4 | The Blackbird Affair
29/11/2019 Duration: 37minSaturday night at the museum.Maybe not something you’d associate with a good time. Probably the opposite actually. But on THIS Saturday night, even for a college town like Kalamazoo, the Air Zoo was the place to be.Because, on that night, every single member of the crew was out and about to tell their stories to a willing crowd. Forget about the context of a museum, the Air Zoo is possibly one of the finest event venues I’ve ever seen with an aviation theme. Like walking onto a movie set but one where you get to interact with the characters. And the characters in our story are the SR-71 crews.And to make it even more special tonight was the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually sit inside the SR 71.If you’re wondering, yeah, I did end up sitting in it, in the same exact seat that Buz, BC, and those select few instructors got to sit in as they checked out each and every one of the 89 or so SR pilots at Beale.And it was an honor.Now that we’ve met all but 3 of our crew members, as you listen, see if you ca

063 | Spy Week Part 3 | High Maintenance | Ed Hall, Floyd Jones, Lewis Sulzle, Mike Relja, David Burns
28/11/2019 Duration: 01h03min“A letter to Kelly Johnson” was a bonus part of “Blackbird: The Movie” A film by Lockheed. I recommend you go see it.For today’s episode, I have 5 people here who CAN follow that act. The guys who maintained it.The reality of operating the SR was that with all of its technology and grace, it needed a lot of maintenance. And rightfully so. Can you imagine being tasked with learning every nut bolt, spacer, mount, bearing, expansion joint, seam, and seal in the world’s most amazing aircraft?I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t like working on any other aircraft at the time, or ever since, and for the crews tasked with keeping it ready to go at all times, it wasn’t like supporting anything else…Today we hear their stories. And if you even think for a second that the maintenance side of things isn’t for you, think again. The 5 histories you’re going to hear today will change the way you think about maintenance forever, and each story will teach you something you’ll take with you, and think about every time you touch

062 | Spy Week Part 2 | Blackbird Porter with the Alphas | Jerry Glasser, Buz Carpenter, John Murphy
27/11/2019 Duration: 40minYeah, so turns out the event I’m at has its own beer…Have I mentioned yet how cool and different this museum is? Well, over a couple of these I got to spend an evening just hanging out with the entire SR71 crew. And that I got to talk face to face, just like that, with this incredible group is something I’ll never forget.Today Jerry Glasser, Buz Carpenter, and John Murphy share their one of a kind perspectives from both the front seat, and the back seat of the SR.Links:SR-71 Spy-posium: Blackbird Revealed.Support: https://www.patreon.com/podcastingonaplaneBuy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BravoGolfYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx1DKOUuGxohHU5YxEC_w0w?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingonaplane/Twitter: podcastonaplaneWebsite: www.podcastingonaplane.com Music by: Yeti Music and Fracture Design

061 | Spy Week Part 1 | The Air Zoo, Steve Justice, BC Thomas, Ed Yeilding
26/11/2019 Duration: 01h30sOur story starts with me standing in a hangar. A really big hangar. Actually, it’s more like a movie set. A movie set, with rides, and and F-14 and an SR71, but they’re not props though, they’re real…I’m not on a movie set at all though, I’m in a museum. A museum they call the Zoo. And I’m in Michigan.Follow along all week as the story unfolds. Today, hear from former Lockheed Skunk Works Director and Historian, Steve Justice. Plus, Pilots B.C. Thomas and Ed Yeilding tell us what it was like to hold a blackbird steady for 20 minutes for a refueling. What it was like to mess with Fidel Castro from 80,000 feet, to make the final Blackbird flight, while setting a world record speed run, and to deliver a piece of history to Washington. And what it’s like to see 3 sunsets and sunrises in an hour, while looking down into the eye of a hurricane.Special thanks go to Jamie Pleune for kicking this all off.And to Air Zoo CEO Troy for Hosting me, and giving me free rein to record this spectacular weekend.Thank you Abby f

056 | Goldberg Aviation | Are single engine pilots making a deal with The Devil?
10/09/2019 Duration: 59minWelcome! This is a view of aviation from both sides of the mic. That means I’m an Air traffic controller, but also a pilot, and I’ve done a lot of other stuff in aviation over the last 25 years, so on this show, we take a look at aviation from as many angles as possible. And lately, there’s an angle that I’m liking more and more. And that’s the view from a single engine turboprop. By the time you’re hearing this, I’ll be getting ready for my first annual recurrent training in the Piper M600 Meridian, and I’m getting into mentoring and instructing in them as well. And don’t worry, this isn’t going to be some self indulgent salvo about how cool they are. Well, ok, maybe we’ll talk A LITTLE about how cool they are, but there’s a bit more to it than that. Quite a bit more actually. But we’re going to be real about it, because there are a few elephants in the room… Goldberg Aviation: https://www.goldbergaviation.com Deal with The Devil article by Mac McClellan: https://airfactsjournal.com/2019/08/pilots-make-a-dea
