Show Notes
Welcome back! This week Rob wanted to come on to talk about IAC elections and some rule change proposals on the docket. Who are we to refuse when the GOAT wants to come back on!? This was a great podcast and we also touched on Oshkosh coming up, airshow acts, ACE program, Nationals and WAC and so much more. We were all pretty tired after a long day so there are some incoherent rambling towards the end (Mark lol) but this was a really fun one. Thanks to Rob for coming back on!

Welcome back! This week, we continue to talk about maintenance and supporting some legacy aerobatic aircraft like the Extra. We also talk about composite aircraft and the fact that, as of now, the NG has a life limit of 1500 hours. Crazy!

Welcome back! This week, we chat about Sun N Fun, the Sebring contest, and most of all, we chat about parachutes and BRS, and how they relate to egress. It is a fun discussion to think about the use of a BRS in aerobatic platforms. Think they are going to be standard equipment someday? Thank you to LIFT Aviation!
