Episode #28 - Aircraft Valuations, Running the Captain's Gauntlet, & The FAA

Author: Carl Valeri July 15, 2012 Duration: 1:09:10

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast! Today's show contains information about aircraft valuations, the first part of Len's story about airline Captain training, and some notes about the FAA. Rick wasn't able to join us on this episode due to some unforeseen circumstances that were out of our control although he sends his best wishes!

NOTE: there were a few struggles with audio quality during recording due to poor Skype reception. That and Len was away from his studio equipment so his audio isn't as smooth as usual. Our apologies, sometimes these things happen, and we believe we've found a good backup to safeguard against similar issues in the future. But enough about that, let's get to the nitty gritty, y'all!

Pre-Flight

The Stuck Mic AvCast received our official media credentials to the EAA's AirVenture 2012 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin! If you recall from a previous show Ms. Victoria will be at Oshkosh working the Aviation Insurance Resources booth if you'd like to stop by and say hello. Carl and Len are working to free their airline schedules to stop in for a couple of days and visit with everyone so we'll continue to keep you posted on that.

There's an additional airshow happening right about the same time, the Sioux Falls Airshow in South Dakota on July 21st and 22nd, 2012. Check out the entire airshow schedule here: Sioux Falls Airshow Schedule.

The Stuck Mic AvCast MP3 Feed - An Aviation Podcast


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.
