Welcome aboard Flight 116 of the Squawk Ident Podcast, TOMATOAFLAMES.

On today’s flight Alex D. and I are excited to welcome back to the show a special guest that we first had on the podcast on Flight 52 - Race, Fly, Build, again on Flight 57 - Fabrications & the Magenta Line, and on Flight 93 - Moderate or Greater. That is when we had the privilege to hear all about his journey in aviation, and how he has created the opportunity to build and customize his own Lancair, Legacy aircraft. He has been chronicling his progress on Instagram @Lancair_Legacy. He is a B737 pilot with “Legacy Airlines” based out of Chicago-O'Hare, and he joins us today to update us on his progress with the build and to share with us some of his experiences at the 2022 Air Venture. We sit down with our friend Jon Gruber and we discover how far he has come with "Fuse".
