Denver-based FlyteCo Brewery owner and flight instructor Eric Serani leads a flight across the Rockies in search of the freshest hops; plus Ian and David help explain what the recent Lycoming con-rod AD means for you, discuss the latest unleaded fuel update, a Gamebird firefighter, a deadly helicopter crash, and sales rumors for Boeing's Jeppesen/ForeFlight division.

There's a particular rhythm to life in aviation, where the pace of news and innovation never really slows down. Keeping up with it all can feel like a full-time job. That's where Hangar Talk-An Aviation News Podcast finds its purpose. Produced by AOPA, this bi-weekly conversation is hosted by pilots David Tulis and Alicia Herron, who do more than just read headlines. They settle into the details of the latest general aviation stories, breaking down complex regulations, emerging technologies, and industry shifts with the clarity that comes from firsthand experience. Their discussions are grounded in a genuine passion for flight, making even niche topics accessible and engaging. Each episode builds toward conversations with the people directly shaping the future of flying-engineers, advocates, instructors, and innovators. Listening to this podcast feels less like a briefing and more like pulling up a chair in the hangar after a long flight, where the talk is informed, the insights are real, and the shared enthusiasm for aviation is the real fuel. It’s a reliable source for pilots and enthusiasts who want to stay informed without getting lost in the technical weeds, all while feeling connected to the broader community that keeps our skies alive.
