Welcome back to another episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast! We've got a special guest interview today from a brave woman who, at 140 hours of flight time as Private Pilot, decided to embark on the flight of a lifetime as she used general aviation aircraft to circumnavigate the continent of Australia. Join us as we interview Monika Petrillo about preparing for this flight, her scariest moments as a VFR-only pilot, and inspirational stories about seizing the day and living life to it's fullest. But first, a few house keeping items below.

Pre-Flight

The Dayton Airshow is this month on July 7-8, 2012 and includes performances by the US Navy Blue Angels. Find yourself in one of their premier, air-conditioned, catered tents and enjoy the airshow in the lap of luxury.

Secondly, a reminder (as if we could really forget) that EAA Airventure 2012 in Oshkosh, WI is at the end of the month from July 23-29, 2012. This airshow requires no introduction as it's the largest in the WORLD. If you've never heard of it before then you may be living under a rock. Our Stuck Mic co-host Victoria Neuville will be there all week staffing the Aviation Insurance Resources booth so make sure to stop in and catch a photo with our favorite sassy redhead! Also, co-host Carl Valeri and Len Costa will be wandering the grounds on various days of the event so keep a look out for the guys in Stuck Mic AvCast t-shirts.

Last is the Arlington Fly-In and Sport Aviation Convention located in Arlington, WA from July 11-15, 2012. Not just a fly-in but also vintage aircraft rides, air show performances, pilot workshops, and more so you should check that out, too.

And now onto the show!

There's a particular sound that fills the cockpit when the microphone key is held just a bit too long-a soft hum of shared connection and stories waiting to be told. That's the spirit captured in Stuck Mic AvCast, an ongoing conversation led by Carl Valeri and a seasoned crew of co-hosts including Victoria Neuville, Rick Felty, and Eric Crump. This isn't a sterile technical lecture, but a hangar-floor chat that spans the entire journey from that first spark of curiosity to a lifetime spent in the air. You'll hear from pilots like Tom Frick, Russ Roslewski, and Larry Overstreet as they dig into the real-world nuances of training, the unexpected challenges of cross-country flights, and the simple, enduring joy that keeps them returning to the runway. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair among friends who get it, discussing everything from gear and regulations to the philosophy of flight itself. Tune in for a podcast that celebrates every facet of aviation, where the passion is as clear as a controller's instruction and the stories are as varied as the skies above.
