Introductions including guests

[Editor's Note: We apologize for the echo in this episode, it was a recording technique mistake, and we've learned from the experience!  Sorry Lynda!  It's easier on the ears to listen to this episode on speakers, rather than with a headset. - Nate]


MHF Hosts: Nate, Zyola, Doug
Guest: Lynda Meeks founder of Girls With Wings

Interview with Lynda

(Then Lynda hangs around with us for the rest -- well, right up until her cell phone died!)

Who's been or is going flying? What have we been up to?

Zyola

  • Ran RC & glider Air Races at my daughter's school carnival & was beat by a bunch of kids under 4 years old. But my daughter ruled the course.

Doug

  • Went flying with my buddy Alan in his Cherokee 180 last Saturday - found out you need to be fully recovered from an ear infection to enjoy the flight. 
  • Young Eagles last Saturday - 27 EAA301 set a record 51 kids flown, 16 pilots.  Kids had to Improve their grades to earn the ride.  Very cool. 
  • Sky Raider Aviation expands to APA- Glad to see LSA rental and Sport Pilot training exand to APA.   
  • Open House at Sky Raider Aviation on March 13th. 
  • Recorded a couple of interviews for future podcasts. 

Nate

  • 79M Out of the shop, annual completed, but new squawk - vacuum issues. (Since then, resolved. New vacuum regulator, and 79M is at KAPA and happy.)

Mike

 

  • Wasn't available for this episode.  We miss you Mike!

 

Other topics?
The North American P-51 Mustang fighter plane of World War II and Korean War fame was sometimes nicknamed the "Spam Can", presumably because of the distinctive shape of the ventral air inlet for its radiator. The term is also casually used by both proponents and opponents of single-engined Cessna aircraft to describe the simple aluminum monocoque construction of the planes.

Special Topic
  • Is the cost of GA hurting GA? - Exams, books, etc. 3rd parties.
Regional/National Aviation News
Aviation News we've heard about
