Because it feels like it’s been far too long since we’ve geeked out together about airplanes over food and beverage AND to celebrate our 50th episode, we’re hosting an OPEN INVITATION meetup!

Join us on June 22nd at Pilot Pete’s in Schaumburg, IL (O6C) as we celebrate our 50th podcast episode. There will be CAKE and gift bags with cool surprises so make sure to help us spread the word and share this event with your friends and family so they can come, too.

You DO NOT have to be a listener of Stuck Mic AvCast to attend – ALL AVGEEKS ARE WELCOME! Whether you drive in or fly in, we’d love to see you for this special occasion.

Please RSVP if you’re confirmed to attend so we can guarantee your seat and gift bag. We will have a section of tables for our use – everyone is responsible for their own tab.

We can’t wait to see you!

Cheers,

SMAC

SMAC034 – First Solos & How to Maximize Flight Training

by 6 Comments

Thanks for joining us again on this edition of the Stuck Mic AvCast! Before we get started today an apology and best wishes to us all from co-host Carl Valeri as he was not able to be with us on today’s show. We did, however, find a stunt double to step in with our VERY FIRST guest co-host, one Mr Larry Overstreet. For those of you not familiar with Larry, Len interviewed him for Episode #31a – Learning to Glide with Larry Overstreet which we highly recommend you have a listen to not only to meet Larry but to also to learn more about soaring.

Pre-Flight

First of the show announcements is the Meet Us in Mohave event on October 19th through October 21st. This meetup is the 2012 CalPilot Annual Meeting and features next generation space pioneers, sailplane rides in high-performance gliders, static aircraft displays and a bunch more.

For those of you looking to get your kids or younger family members into flying, there’s an upcoming Young Eagles day at Robinsville, IL on October 20th at the Crawford County Airport. The Young Eagles program is put on by volunteer pilots for the purposes of taking children ages 8-17 for their first airplane ride, for FREE. There’s also going to be hamburgers, brats, car show, and raffles to name a few.

There’s a new non-profit in town, the Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide and our very own co-host Victoria Neuville is the Director so make sure to congratulate her! The purpose of iWOAW is bring businesses and organizations together to foster the diversity and growth in the air and space industries by outreach and educational programs aimed towards men and women working together in harmony.

Lastly, there’s our “What’s Great About Greenland?” segment. Today’s fun fact about Greenland, besides it’s hard to pronounce names, are it’s costal waterways. With over 1,300 km of waterway from north to south you can enjoy a journey from town to town much like that of a cruise ship.

Episode #31a – Learning to Glide with Larry Overstreet

by 2 Comments

During this field interview at the Hartford Municipal Airport KHXP in Hartford, Wisconsin, Stuck Mic AvCast co-host Len Costa interviewed Larry Overstreet about learning to soar and flying gliders at age 15.

Larry takes us on a journey for a virtual glider flight from start to finish as he explains the preflight weather process, hooking up to a tow-plane, take offs and landings, and everything in between. Also learn what it was like for Larry to earn his glider rating years before his powered aircraft rating and how those soaring skills helped him earn his Private Pilot certificate.
