Flashback! UCAP co-host Jim Goldman talks with a couple who visit AirVenture Oshkosh from Scotland. Recorded Jul 28, 2024. (00:14:44) [#749] {}.

Ahead of AirVenture Oshkosh 2024, Experimental Aircraft Association CEO Jack Pelton discusses what's on the docket for the world's largest general aviation gathering, touching on show highlights as well as major issues facing pilots and operators.

Noah Lieberman was excited by flight from his first experience flying on a DC3 around Mexico as an 8 year old. Affectionately known as the Gooney Bird, the DC3 has found a warm spot in a lot of our hearts. Noah was keen to become an aerospace engineer. He also wanted to learn how to fly. Shortly after beginning his pilot training as a teenager, he ran out of funds. He later went to university and continued his career in the tech industry, repairing hardware and later delved into software development. He cemented his belief in customer service while working in tech support, which was evident while running Coradine. If you have ever found the need to reach out to Coradine, you will understand what I'm talking about. With a young family, he needed to make a strategic decisions to chase his dream of working in aerospace. Moving across the country and a new adventure began working, building websites for an Internet Service Provider. After several frantic years in the burgeoning website industry, Noah decided to make a big decision to get back to his dream of flight.Noah continued his path to become a pilot. He was surprised by the amount of paperwork required to keep track of the flying details. Having been an Apple fan for several years, he decided to make his own database for his flying training. He was sure that other Mac users would be interested, so he posted it on a shareware service and quickly pilots from all over the world began adopting his “personal logbook”.Pilots began to ask for specifics to their own needs and different logbook requirements for Civil Aviation organisations all around the globe. The launched on day one of the Apple App Store, being one of two aviation apps. This coincided with AirVenture Oshkosh, with hundreds of pilots arriving at his small booth announcing the launch of LogTen, by Coradine.15 years and more than 150 000 customers later, LogTen has become the most successful logbook program for professional pilots.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

This time on The Green Dot, hosts Tom and Chris were joined by Connor Madison, EAA's staff photographer, to recap EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 and share each of their perspectives about this year's version of the World's Greatest Aviation Celebration.

People come to Oshkosh for the airplanes, but they stay for the people. That's according to EAA Chairman Jack Pelton, who explains why the culture at AirVenture is so unique, why America needs more of this spirit in everyday life, and his favorite place to visit at the big show. He also shares the organization's big plans for the 30th year of the Young Eagles program, why experimental airplanes are so popular right now, and what his top priorities are for the FAA. In the Ready to Copy segment, Jack explains why you can't build a new Cessna 172 for $100,000, shares his favorite vintage airplane, and identifies some underrated aviation museums.

Never a dull moment, always a next move, and nearing 70, Patty will impress, endear and inspire you.  You can watch her air show performance at AirVenture Oshkosh 2021.This week would not be complete without a shout out for Wally Funk. Regardless of when you are listening to this, marking this moment on the When Women Fly podcast is like staking territory and claiming space in our current culture for the phenomena of when women fly. Wally Funk symbolizes women rising into what is deserved and earned. Also, the integration of allies and shifting systems dismantle barriers-to-entry and give seats at the table, literally give seats on the rocket ship, and give a platform for women to be seen and heard.Topics Include:Blue Origin and Wally Funk's spaceflight with Jeff BezosHow to join Patty for a ride in her show planeWinning U.S. National Aerobatic Championship and defending the titleMotivation to be a "first woman" championThe mindset of an elite performer and neurodiversityFinding focus and being attentive while ADDStigma around learning and thinking differencesCommitting to excellence and persistenceAnd other topics...To Patty Wagstaff the sky represents beauty, freedom and challenge. A six-time member of the US Aerobatic Team, she is the first woman to win the title of US National Aerobatic champion and one of the few people to win it three times. Patty continues to fly airshows worldwide, and when not flying, she leads an active lifestyle and enjoys working out, riding horses, hanging out with her dogs and her parrot, Buddha, or at the beach. She loves good restaurants, music, reading, and cooking too!Her latest venture is producing a series of educational and instructional videos on aerobatics with Sporty's Pilot Shop in Clermont, Ohio, with its first two releases “Introduction to Aerobatics” and “Basic Aerobatics” newly released. Patty Wagstaff Airshows, Inc. and Patty Wagstaff Aviation Safety LLC are based in St. Augustine, Florida.Resources Mentioned:https://pattywagstaff.comFly With Patty – https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=raJ17MKOwaI&feature=emb_logoWally Funk – https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/19/science/wally-funk-jeff-bezos.htmlWant to connect?

“It's been a wild ride since last year,” says Jack Pelton, Experimental Aircraft Association chairman and CEO. EAA's AirVenture Oshkosh returns next month following the cancellation of the 2020 show because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So far, response to AirVenture 2021 has been “phenomenal,” he says. Pelton discusses AirVenture's highlights and events, changes and safety precautions it is making and what to expect if you go. He also gives insight on how EAA, general aviation and the pilot shortage has fared since the pandemic and more.

The countdown to AirVenture Oshkosh 2021 is in full swing, and EAA Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board Jack Pelton offers a preview into the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.

Cell coverage provided by drones, sUAS conflicting with aerial applicators, controlling swarms with your mind, another package delivery milestone by Flirtey, a drone pilot is arrested, and using drones to find old land mines. A Bird's Eye View of AT&T's Drone Inspection Program News Better cell service for responders when COWs fly AT&T uses Cell On Wheels (COW) equipment to temporarily add cell capacity for large events, or bring coverage to disaster scenes. Now the company is looking at a new kind of COW that used drones: Cell On Wings. In the company blog, Drones Taking Our Network to New Heights, AT&T says, “We're researching how in-flight drones can use our LTE network to send large amounts of data in real-time. This capability may benefit areas such as insurance, farming, facility and asset inspections, and even delivery service companies." AT&T is already using drones to perform cell tower inspections. (Video above.) New UAV rules should help farmers, ag businesses Most groups with an interest in using sUAS commercially are in favor of the Part 107 rules, including the agriculture business. But the National Agricultural Aviation Association thinks “the FAA set the bar a little low” when it comes to safety and certification requirements. Note: The Small UAS Rule (Part 107), including all pilot and operating rules, will be effective on August 29, 2016. These resources are provided by the FAA: Summary of the Small UAS Rule (PDF) Small UAS Advisory Circular – How to Use the Rule (PDF) Complete Text of the Small UAS Rule Control a swarm of drones with your mind Arizona State University is researching technology that allows human brainwaves to control up to four robot vehicles. Electrodes on a skullcap pick up electrical brain activity, software processes the data, and the drones are controlled via a Bluetooth connection. ASU says that to make the drones move, the operator watches on a monitor, and thinks and pictures the drones performing various tasks. 7-Eleven makes food deliveries with Flirtey UAS Flirtey and 7-Eleven announced they have completed the first fully autonomous, FAA-approved drone delivery to two residential homes in Reno, Nevada. The Flirtey drone delivered a 7-Eleven chicken sandwich, donuts, hot coffee, and Slurpees. The Flirtey drone hovered over the residents' backyards and lowered the packages. The two companies plan to expand their delivery services in the future. Drone pilot arrested at JFK Airport A 52-year old man was arrested for flying a drone within 50 feet laterally of a jet, and 20 feet below it. The drone was spotted by the pilot on approach about 4 miles from the airport. Afghan brothers launch new mine-hunting drone Two former Afghan refugees are developing technology that would allow a drone to safely sweep an area and destroy old land mines. The UAS would use ground penetrating radar and metal detectors to locate the mines. A small charge could then be placed by the drone and detonated remotely. The brothers are using a Kickstarter campaign to fund the Mine Kafon Drone.   Video of the Week Martin Mars - View From a Drone The beautiful Martin Mars, originally a four-engined cargo transport seaplane, now used for water drops to fight wildfires.

Ron Klutts and I have carried on a correspondence for more than a year and we finally met in person at AirVenture Oshkosh this summer. Ron and a friend had flown all the way from Palo Alto and had made a two-week ossyssey out of the OSH trip.So when I thought about doing a show on going places (far-away places) Ron naturally came to mind. In this episode, we talk about long-distance GA flying. How to plan, what to take, how to pack, and other lessons learned from two nearly trans-continental trips.Also check out Ron's appearance on The Pilot's Flight PodLog - Episode 9.

NSFW version of the song is at http://media.libsyn.com/media/airspeed/FirstSoloHeyDon.mp3.We're back from AirVenture Oshkosh 2007 and beginning the decompression process. For this episode, I'm hauling out a song I recorded about my first solo a few months after it happened.Many of you have heard the podcast episode about my first solo (the show notes for which are here), but there's a funny side, too. I loaded all of the angst and energy into a song called First Solo and recorded it and gave a copy to Don Fuller, the CFI who soloed me. I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me before now to include the song in an episode of the podcast, but I thought about it on the drive home and decided to do it.It's way too long, contains too many details, and isn't the best sound-engineering job I've ever done (I did all of the engineering in addition to performing all of the instrumental parts and all of the vocals except for two of the radio voices without much help in setting the levels, etc.) but it's a fun tune and you guys might appreciate it. So I post it now for what it's worth.Thanks to John Crowe and Doug Parker for playing the parts of YIP tower and Don Fuller respectively.
