Send us a message or question! In this episode of Never Mind the Dambusters, I take a deep dive into the fascinating and often overlooked world of RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War—through the lens of the airmen's personal flying kit. I'm joined by Daniel Richards an RAF Living History enthusiast, and together we explore the evolution of aircrew equipment, from flying jackets to survival kits, and even the surprising use of pigeons for communication.Using the original clothing card issued to 10 Sqn wireless operator Jack Clyde (Jane's great Uncle)  (linked below) , we look at the kit issued to Jack through the course of the war, from boots to parachutes to dinghys! It's a conversation that goes beyond the gear itself, shedding light on the human stories behind the uniforms and the importance of keeping these memories alive for generations to come. Flight Sgt John (Jack) Clyde's RAF Clothing Card Jack in flying suit, boots and gauntlets, early 1943The Pennicott crew, endex photo 8 March 1944. Chapters00:00 Introduction to RAF Bomber Command History01:16 Exploring Personal Flying Kit and Clothing05:30 The Evolution of Aircrew Kit During the War10:17 Detailed Examination of Aircrew Equipment14:33 Insights from Jack's Clothing Card19:29 Understanding the Practicalities of Aircrew Gear23:32 The Importance of Survival Equipment27:08 Understanding the Escape Kit30:22 The Role of Pigeons in Bomber Operations36:34 Living History and Community Engagement43:07 Show intro.wavSupport the showPlease subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

Can you take a civilian airline pilot, make them an RAF Reservist and have them operate a state-of-the-art military ISTAR aircraft? Well, if the aircraft has essentially the same flight deck, why not!InsideAIR met with Group Captain ISTAR Reserves who aims to do this at scale with X-Flight. InsideAIR is produced for the Royal Air Force by RAF Media Reserves. Theme music by RAF Music Services.

"Self-loading baggage" is a derogatory term often used by pilots to describe lazy or disengaged medical crew members in the air medical industry. Whether intentional or not, this behavior sets a bad precedent for those of us that want to embrace aviation cross-training and be able to assist the pilot effectively. In this podcast episode, we are joined by pilots Miles Dunagan and Brett Reeder to discuss how pilots and clinicians alike can be a cohesive team before, during, and after the flight. We touch on complacency, Crew Resource Management (CRM), and specific skills required of an effective air crew.

This time they're accused of doing more than just slashing tires: they might have crashed a $178 million dollar plane. While the details here are murky, the joke is due to the military recently boasting about how the crews of the plane that just crashed into the ocean by overshooting a runway were the most diverse in the country. They even uploaded an image of an all female crew in the past. We aren't sure who exactly was in this crew, but we know one thing for sure. America has a diversity problem and a woman problem the same. Something needs to change.

Welcome to episode 72 of the Hangar Z Podcast.This is a unique episode for a few reasons. Jason Quinn from the Real ResQ Podcast and I have teamed up to create a podcast mashup.This will be episode 127 of the Real ResQ Podcast.During this episode, Jason and I interview the crew of Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Aviation Unit Star 9 that won the Airborne Public Safety Association Captain, “Gus” Crawford Memorial Aircrew of the year award for 2022.The crew consisted of Deputy Chad Marlatt acting as the PIC, Corporal Andy Rasmussen acting as the SIC, Deputy Drew Pigott acting as the Crew Cheif, Deputy Michael Edwards Rescuer, and Deputy Mike Doyle acting as the catcher.I actually recorded a version of this episode in person at RSO's annual safety fly-in this last year at their hangar. Due to some technical difficulties, the audio was unusable, unfortunately.With us to re-record this episode is Corporal Marlatt.. Congratulations on the promotion to Corporal, Deputy Pigott, and Deputy Edwards.In the interview, the Rescue 9 crew breaks down what ended up being an officer-down type rescue and incident.For those who have not listened to The Real ResQ podcast, Jason Quinn goes behind the scenes of the rescue stories we hear and read about.We interviewed Jason Quinn way back in episode 21. Jason is a former Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and host of The Real ResQ Podcast.I would like to thank our sponsors Metro Aviation and SHOTOVER as well as our supporters on Patreon. 

In this episode of The Real ResQ, I teamed up with Jon Gray from Hangar Z podcast and together we interview the crew of Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Aviation Unit Star 9, who won the Airborne Public Safety Association Captain “Gus” Crawford Memorial Aircrew of the year award for 2022. (Episode 72 on the Hangar Z Podcast site.)  The crew consisted of Deputy Chad Marlatt acting as the PIC, Corporal Andy Rasmussen acting as the SIC, Deputy Drew Pigott acting as the Crew Chief, Deputy Michael Edwards Rescuer, and Deputy Mike Doyle acting as the catcher. In the interview, the Rescue 9 crew breaks down what ended up being an officer-down type rescue and incident. The team was dispatched to an injured California State Park Ranger who had slipped approximately 200 feet down a hillside on icy snow. The ranger grabbed a small bushy branch, which stopped his slide just at the edge of a cliff approximately 500 feet high. The ranger radioed them and advised that hypothermia was setting in, and given his position, he will not live if he is not rescued very shortly.   For those who have not listened to the Hangar Z podcast, Jon Gray created the first and only podcast dedicated to promoting and exploring the personnel and equipment behind the missions of public safety aviation.

The Canadian government remains largely inert on the case, saying only the Dominican Republic should consider its reputation as a destiation for vacationing Canadians. The CEO of Pivot airlines has much to say on this matter.

Welcome to the thirty-third episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! One of the greatest assets US leadership owns is the ability to move patients, cargo, and relief supplies anywhere on the planet literally in twenty-four hours. It's all done from one place! Colonel Geno Redmon was my KC-135 Squadron Commander in Okinawa Japan during the mid-90s. As Vice Commander of Air Mobility Command's Tanker Airlift Control Center on 9/11, Geno tells us how air mobility operations were planned and executed to defend the US from attack and move US and allied forces to Afghanistan to hunt Osama bin Laden. His TACC Team leaned way forward watching the Battle of Roberts Ridge unfold through the same CIA Predator video feed I was watching at the Saudi Arabian Air Operations Center. Geno tells the story of the first C-17 crew into Karshi Khanabad and speaking with Marine Corps Brigadier General Jim Mattis as his troops prepared to occupy an Afghan airfield. Support for the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast comes solely from Wall Pilot, very detailed custom airplane profiles printed on vinyl and can be peeled off and stuck to any flat surface or framed for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. Aircraft profiles are available in right (Crew Chief names!) or left side (Aircrew names!) profile images. Custom images can be created with aircrew names, unit markings even specific weapons loads, and nose art in four, six, and eight-foot long vinyl graphics. Wall Pilot has printed a thirty-footer for one customer!   A graphic is available of the 909th Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 in four, six, and eight-foot long images. Two KC-10A Extender graphics are available for jets based at McGuire and Travis Air Force Bases at Wall Pilot. The C-130J is an AMC workhorse flying missions all over the world and is also available from Wall Pilot. The book Tanker Pilot: Lessons from the Cockpit Geno and I talked about around his firepit is available on Amazon. Thirty-two pictures taken during events discussed in the book are included in all four formats: hardback, softback, kindle, and audible Thanks for listening and please download and share this and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast with your family and friends found on my website at markhasara.com
