    Welcome back! This week we talk about WAC. Lots of talk and buzz surrounding the US Unlimited team this year but now that things are starting to settle, we can get to the flying!

  • Episode 166: Rob Holland
    Jul 19 2024

    Welcome back! This week Rob wanted to come on to talk about IAC elections and some rule change proposals on the docket. Who are we to refuse when the GOAT wants to come back on!? This was a great podcast and we also touched on Oshkosh coming up, airshow acts, ACE program, Nationals and WAC and so much more. We were all pretty tired after a long day so there are some incoherent rambling towards the end (Mark lol) but this was a really fun one. Thanks to Rob for coming back on!

  • Episode 173: Loren Marburg
    Jun 21 2024

    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!
