We continue where we left off in Episode 24 with Daren @shotgun15e, Robert @robertcigliano, and the MHF gang, Zyola (@supovadea), Mike (@Mike_Flys) minus @dhindmanjr... 'cause he's busy gettin' his Private Pilot's license!
Topics:
- Edwards AFB General Aviation Fly-In
- Intros by our guests ("Hey, who are these people anyway!?")
- We make fun of Robert's New York Accent (Ha... kidding. Sorry Robert!) - Hear more of it at his podcast, The New Pilot Podblog!
- The 99's Paint Compass Roses - It's called "Airmarking". Who knew?!
- Nate talks about a fuel leak in the cabin of 79M on a flight with a former guest, Spencer Burkhardt. And the follow-up of working with both the local mechanics at Arapahoe Aero at KAPA and the Cessna Pilot's Association tech reps who are GREAT resources. We also mention what an "AMU" is.
- AppleTV isn't playing all episodes of MHF properly in streaming mode. Since this episode was recorded, Nate's up to 12 e-mails back and forth with Apple, and they have zero clue on what's causing the problem. Bummer!

Miscellaneous show notes:
- Some of the news in this episode has already passed. We apologize. Nate's behind on editing. We've given him twenty lashes with a wet noodle.
- We hope the participants in the Collegiate Flying competition did great at KBJC in October (Go Metro Roadrunners!), and we're catching up on getting these out on time!
Tech notes:
Something was wrong with Nate's mic level, and it added white noise whenever it was live. I've fixed it. Apologies. Also we experienced a very strange phenomenon on Skype that you can hear in Episodes 24 and 25... Zyola's audio was delayed both directions. If it sounds like we're talking over each other sometimes, we are, but Zyola couldn't hear us until about 10 seconds later. It creates some awkward-sounding back and forth at times. The pauses aren't Z's fault. It's Skype. And it's strange. - Nate
