Admiral Cloudberg writes fantastic articles about aviation accidents. Please go check out thier content.  Today's Episode is a narration of their article "Legacy of a Lie, The Crash of Atlas Air Flight 3591" I sincerely hope there isn’t another one of these events out there, lying silently in wait, and ready to bring down an airplane that’s full of a lot more than Amazon boxes… My apologies for the terrible voice acting in the middle...

I may not make a Podcast every week, or even every month... BUT when I do, I’d like to think that it’s chock-full of actionable content, or at least really entertaining stuff. But today it’s definitely the former. And it might actually change the way medicine works for you in Aviation FINALLY. Plus a new vocab word: VOLOSAN. Enjoy! -BG Go see if VOLOSAN direct primary care is right for you.

David Moser from Cirrus is here to tell us all about their recent deal with United Aviate Academy.  I think you’re really going to like what David has to say and I know you’re going learn a few things about the Cirrus, I know I certainly did.  And the best part is the rest of the show is all about you all, and the plethora of wonderful feedback that I’ve had since the show came back on the air.

Well, it’s probably time to address the elephant in the room… It’s been since August 2021 that I’ve released a podcast Episode and yes, there’s a very good reason. And that’s what today’s show is. A bit of a comeback really, but mostly just an explanation of what happened and how I’ve dealt with it. And that’s not to be somber or negative. I’m genuinely happy to be back, and I want to thank everyone who has emailed and messaged me over the last six months or so, asking what’s up, and offering genuine words of encouragement to come back. And we’ll cover most of those in the talk. And I say ‘we’ because I asked my friend Rob Mark to come on and act as my sounding board as I talk through everything. He’s a good listener and I thank him for doing this one with me. It feels good to be back! GOOOOOD DAY! -Brandon   Support: https://www.patreon.com/podcastingonaplane  Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BravoGolf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingonaplane/ Twitter: podcastonaplane Website: www.podcastingonaplane.com      Music by:  Damma Beatz   Make sure to use good equipment!

These last few months have really been something for me. I think the best way to describe it is as a total reset. All of the hard lessons learned over the last year and a half, plus all of the great stuff too, all put back together in a new package, and with that, the show’s finally back. And with a bang because Chad’s here, and I’ve got a great reading from one of my favorite magazines that sums up “Enthusiasm” better than I ever could. So, while I was “away” I actually got a lot of feedback and emails and even a few new patrons too. And we’re going to get right to that. But first, the elephant in the room. No, I’m not at Oshkosh. I actually did plan to go, even managed to get the week off, but this summer, for whatever reason, I felt the need to be home and getting things back on track more than ever. And I’m glad I did, because a lot actually transpired over this last week of July I was glad to be home for. Including making this Episode! Let's welcome our new Patrons: Scott Sutton and Christian!

I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Not really flying, not really participating in the industry, not really inspired to put it bluntly. And I know I’m not the only one. And it’s kinda funny, since by all counts, we’re actually coming out of this disaster time and getting the industry on the long road to recovery. Will it ever be the same. Well, probably not exactly, but who knows, maybe it’ll be better? But I finally started flying again on the regular. Every Saturday around noon you might find me in a Diamond Star somewhere over Southern California and it feels pretty good. But there were a few first flights back that felt more than a little uncomfortable and awkward. And I don’t like feeling that way in an airplane. Now I know, I know, this might be the last thing anybody wants to talk about ever again. Except maybe politics, that’s usually worse, and I usually make a point to steer clear of that as much as possible, but the conversation we have isn’t about that, although it may border dangerously close few times... It’s about what I call “getting it back.” Our lives, our inspiration, our mojo. Getting our groove back so that we can put this all behind us as quickly and healthily (I’m sure that’s a legitimate medical term) as possible. So, I hope you’ll stay listening, and let me know how you’re feeling as we come back to reality.   JetWhine.com  PlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: https://www.patreon.com/podcastingonaplane  Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/BravoGolf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingonaplane/ Twitter: podcastonaplane Website: www.podcastingonaplane.com  Music by: Cushy Make sure to use good equipment!

I think it was Bob Dylan who sang about the times, they are a changin’. And while I guess that’s always a little true, it seems like it’s especially appropriate now. And I hope it’s all good, because there are a few things that really do need a changin’ so that we can resume functionality in the industry. And particularly this is true anywhere there’s bureaucracy. Like how many times have you said something like. “Don’t we have a technology to just automate this?” And since the beginning of the pandemic, maybe you’ve said something similar like “can’t we just do this remotely?” Well, more and more, it’s looking like the answer is yes! Just about every meeting and collaboration can now be done from the comfort of your home over Zoom or Teams, and for the most part, that’s cool. That is, unless your kid pops in on your live broadcast, or you’ve accidentally left your favorite sex toy on the shelf right behind you... But what about in aviation? We don’t pilot passengers remotely. Yet at least. We can, but do t really do remote tower operations. However you could argue that just about all radar stuff is remote though. But of course, not from home. But there is one thing we just may be able to do remotely now, but the jury is still out on whether or not it’s a great idea… Rob and I want to hear from you about this! Make sure to send in your feedback so that we can discuss it in a future Episode. GOOOOOOOD DAY! BG P.S. go to Rob's website jetwhine.com  where you're always welcome to "be a whiner."
