Episode #28 – Aircraft Valuations, Running the Captain’s Gauntlet, & The FAA

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast! Today’s show contains information about aircraft valuations, the first part of Len’s story about airline Captain training, and some notes about the FAA. Rick wasn’t able to join us on this episode due to some unforeseen circumstances that were out of our control although he sends his best wishes!

NOTE: there were a few struggles with audio quality during recording due to poor Skype reception. That and Len was away from his studio equipment so his audio isn’t as smooth as usual. Our apologies, sometimes these things happen, and we believe we’ve found a good backup to safeguard against similar issues in the future. But enough about that, let’s get to the nitty gritty, y’all!

The Stuck Mic AvCast received our official media credentials to the EAA’s AirVenture 2012 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin! If you recall from a previous show Ms. Victoria will be at Oshkosh working the Aviation Insurance Resources booth if you’d like to stop by and say hello. Carl and Len are working to free their airline schedules to stop in for a couple of days and visit with everyone so we’ll continue to keep you posted on that.

There’s an additional airshow happening right about the same time, the Sioux Falls Airshow in South Dakota on July 21st and 22nd, 2012. Check out the entire airshow schedule here: Sioux Falls Airshow Schedule.

Episode #26 – Our First Anniversary, How We Got Started Flying, & A Year in Podcasting

Today’s show is an unusual one, more off the cuff, no topics, other than sharing a celebration of our first anniversary here at the Stuck Mic AvCast, stories of how each co-host got started in aviation, and reminiscing on our first year of podcasting, the experiences it’s afforded us and even how it’s changed our lives.
