SMAC036 - Formation Flying, $100 Hamburgers in Hawaii, Obstacle Departure Procedures

SMAC036 - Formation Flying, $100 Hamburgers in Hawaii, Obstacle Departure Procedures

Author: Carl Valeri November 16, 2012 Duration: 58:08

Todays show discussions involved some information and chatter about formation flying and each co-host's experience with this flying pleasure. We also shared a story of nearly one of the coolest $100 hamburger flights known to man and then wrapped it up with a segment on obstacle departure procedures explained, as requested by one of our listeners. Do to innumerable scheduling issues thanks to Hurricane Sandy, Rick was not able to join us for this episode but does send his best regards.

Women Fly It Forward 2013  - Women of Aviation week is March 4 - 10, 2013 and Victoria is looking for volunteers worldwide to host events. The goal is to eventually host 1 event in each of the 50 states. Fun fact: If there was 1 event in each state, where 100 women were introduced to flying, and if only 2% of those women chose to fly, we'd see a 10% annual increase in female pilots. So come one GUYS and GALS - contact Victoria with your interest to host an even in your local area!

US Sport Aviation Expo - Carl will be in attendance reporting for SMAC. Sun N Fun Radio and Flight Time Radio, sponsored by LiveATC, will be broadcasting form the show. THis show is not just about LSA's but also includes performances by Team RV and Patty Wagstaff in the very first airshow at the US Sport Aviation Expo.

Dubai Airshow 2013 - This even is hosted only every other year and boasts an opportunity to learn about the newest cutting edge technology for airliners, corporate, and military. The 2013 show runs from November 17-21, 2013. Who wants to meet us there?

And in one final announcement - A Happy Hatchling day to our friend and fellow aviation podcaster, Grant McHerron, co-host of Australia's premier aviation podcast, Plane Crazy Down Under. By the time this show has released his birthday will have passed but you can wish him a belated on Twitter @PCDU.

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.
