Welcome back! This week we talk about Marks' airplane getting back together finally, and the differences and significance of not having a fuel gauge reading for the acro tank on a mid-wing Extra versus a low-wing Extra. We also talk about the incident at the Bathhurst 1000 race where Hayden Pullen landed at the track and subsequently hit the barrier wall with his right horizontal stab. Lots of things wrong with that whole sequence. We also talk about the unfortunate passing of airshow pilot Chuck Coleman, who died at the Los Cruses Air and Space Expo last week. RIP Chuck.

Here is the video of Haydens' approach, landing, and impact with the wall:

Welcome back! Sorry for the long break! Jeff is back from Nationals and the topic of the day is (spoiler alert) airplanes again. This time we get into issues with manufacturing, or issues that arise due to how hard these airplanes get flown. All manufacturers have had issues and problems over the years and we talk about how we have handled those issues as an industry, and also how the public perception and judging of these issues has occurred over the years. What are your thoughts? Are we all too hard on manufacturers when an issue presents itself?

Welcome back! This week we talk about WAC. Lots of talk and buzz surrounding the US Unlimited team this year but now that things are starting to settle, we can get to the flying! We talk about why the US team only fielded two members, how they had three members for a minute then back to two, and some of the flying on day one. This was a fun one, we hope you enjoy it!
