Our latest episode is a whopper but well worth going through as there's plenty of great content about drone racing and how it can lead to multiple career opportunities, social support networks, travel and, of course, lots of fun :)
Our new episode is a big one covering the Military International Drone Racing Tournament: tactical intercepts, FPV racing, ISR, STEM autonomous systems & emerging technology - and why Australia’s ADF drone racers are currently the ones to beat.

I had a great time chatting with Aarron & am looking forward to meeting him at the @Pacific_Airshow Gold Coast event in August :)
In our latest episode we chat with Aarron Deliu about flying airshows, aerobatics, Red Bull Air Race, @airrace_x , Sky Grand Prix & this year's @Pacific_Airshow Gold Coast. Less than a month until we head to the Gold Coast... Woo hoo! :)

The Tyabb Airshow is always a cracker and this year was no exception. We've released our episode featuing content from the airshow and there's lots of good stuff, including me having to say I was wr... wro... wron... Damnit! :)
The Tyabb airshow had a great collection of warbirds, handling displays, and amazing aerobatic routines. Our latest episode has our airshow content & we even get a mea culpa from Grant after Veggie spotted his deliberate mistakes in the previous episode :)

Our next episode is out and we finally managed to get Chris Tibbetts to chat with us about being an Aussie Airboss. All that and my chats with Alan Arthur and Matt Henderson from the time Evan Schoo & I fly up to Tocumwal.
Right, time for me to grab a beer :)
Check out our chat with Tibbsy, the Aussie Airboss, plus Grant flew up to Tocumwal & chatted with Alan Arthur and Matt Henderson about their warbirds, the Tocumwal Aviation Museum and, of course, The 'Drome Cafe. It's time to get Plane Crazy!

Great news for the team at OzRunways & a validation of their efforts over the past 10+ years :)
The big news down under is that Boeing has acquired OzRunways. We scored an exclusive interview with Bas Scheffers, CEO, about how this came about and what's going to happen to VH-EFB :)

Had a blast recording with Jan & Jerry in their hangar home at Bridge Pa near Hastings in NZ. Who knew you could do bush flying in a 737 in Alaska?
Our latest episode is out, featuring bush flying 737s in Alaska, a Gypsy Moth flying from London to Sydney, & more of the Steve Padgett story. Have a listen & let us know your thoughts :)

@evernotehelp I'm using Evernote via Chrome on the web and whenever it presents the "Upgrade" popup screen, the CPU usage goes up over 10%. Once I go back to the Evernote tab and say "No" to upgrading, CPU usage drops back to normal. Oooops :(
Yeah, we got delayed because Steve was in hospital & I was travelling, but our latest episode is out at last :)
New episode out at last & featuring a 99 year old who flew the Seafire & Sea Fury, @lifesavingqld's Rescue Helicopter Service team, a wrap up of the Gold Coast event, & guest host appearance from ATC Ben. It's time to get plane crazy once again :)

This was a great chat & Mick has some excellent insights into the Ukraine counteroffensive. Well worth checking out.

Over 25 minutes on hold once again with @Melair's parking phone number & still no human to talk to about the double-charge. Thinking it's time to call @acccgovau 'cos clearly it's good to be a monopoly service provider...
Good thing Melbourne Airport (@Melair) don't respond to aviation issues as slowly as complaints or refund requests after over-charging my parking. Cases lodged on Aug & 28th Aug. Aside from emails with each case number, it's been crickets & extremely long phone queues! :(

We had a lot of fun chatting with Brick & look forward to catching up with again in (hopefully :) ) the not too distant future :)
Want to know more about flying the F-35 and sensor fusion? Check out our latest episode with Tony 'Brick' Wilson, F-35 test pilot with Lockheed Martin. It was a cracker conversation & we could have easily gone on longer :)
