Jedi's back—and the brake-check lesson starts before the beers do. An F-4 slides into rainy Pensacola, our hero reports “good braking,” and a brick-built Marine promptly edits his vocabulary: “It's poor.” Decades later, that same Marine reappears—through Jedi's son. Aviation is a small world with a loud voice. From there, we ricochet through cockpit lore: a British captain freeing stuck throttles by axe-murdering a radar scope (maintenance note: “radar inop”), a Vampire jet literally pruning the only tree in northern Germany—onto a soldier, and the fine art of CRM when an FO treats a 767 like a single-seat fighter. Jedi also talks writing: Substack confessions, a new thriller, and why the FAA's “kinder, gentler” era works when crews own their mistakes. It's hangar talk at altitude—equal parts cautionary tale, comedy, and “don't try this at home.” Strap in, stow your screwdriver, and remember: if a Marine asks about braking action… you already know the answer.
In this episode of the Look Forward Podcast from S&P Global, host Andy Critchlow delves into the complex landscape of decarbonizing the aviation sector.

Arlette Chabot a écouté toutes les déclarations de Marine Le Pen, de Jordan Bardella sur les débats budgétaires, sur les impôts, sur les taxes et sur la dépense publique. C'était difficile à suivre ces derniers temps. Elle dit que c'est un grand écart, on a du mal à se retrouver. Pour Dominique Seux, il y a des exemples qui montrent que les taxes ont des incidences économiques, voire industrielles, c'est l'aviation d'affaires. Ce n'est pas que le secteur ne l'intéresse pas en tant que tel, mais c'est un enseignement qui montre que les meilleures intentions du monde peuvent aboutir à une catastrophe. Celui que l'on appelait le vice-président le plus détesté de l'histoire américaine est l'exemple le plus spectaculaire de ce que la morale peut faire comme ravage. Selon Abnousse Shalmani, Dick Cheney est devenu un symbole d'intégrité loué par les démocrates, tout simplement parce qu'à la fin de sa vie, il s'est prononcé contre Donald Trump.

From maintaining aircraft records to dealing with bad advice and sub-standard parts, Mike, Paul, and Colleen say being an aircraft owner is one of the hardest jobs in aviation. Email your questions to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Randy wants to know if circuit breakers have a life limit. He has a Mooney with about 3,000 hours. He had one that was acting up, and was wondering if he should intentionally exercise or change them on some interval. Paul said he recommends to all his clients that they exercise their breakers every few years, since they do tend to corrode. Just tripping it breaks oxidation off the contacts, he said. If you check the resistance before and after the resistance often goes down. Colleen said she replaces a few breakers during each annual. Gary owns a Lake Amphibian with a IO-360 and he runs with fine wire plugs. At the last annual he found four of his Champion plugs had infinite resistance. They otherwise seemed to function normally. He's wondering what the implications are? Paul said he has boxes old boxes of new Champion plugs that he can't force himself to throw away, but he refuses to give them away either because he doesn't trust them. The hosts said they've seen many problems with Champion fire wire plugs and the insulators. So they've stopped using them and suggest others do as well. They all endorse the massive electrode Champions are just fine, however. Chris helps clients establish aircraft logbooks after they buy their first airplane. Paul said: You should keep as much of the maintenance records as possible for value. Old invoices he puts in a bag and sets them aside. He keeps weight and balance history and it's nice to have a 337 record. Only the current equipment list is necessary. He'll recommend customers organize their own logbooks and not pay him to do it. Colleen also keeps a separate spreadsheet for time in service of all the airplane's components. That makes it easy for inspection, replacement, and for ADs. Mike's records include a big Word doc that includes all his maintenance records and a spreadsheet with the weight and balance, equipment list, and so on. Paul suggests only giving your maintenance provider a thumb drive so they can't hold your logbooks hostage, nor do anything else you don't approve of. Then when you're ready to leave, you get the thumb drive and the sticker to go in the logbook when you get home. Paul read an article that advised against leaning too quickly and leading to washboarding of cylinders. Mike thinks that came from an old service bulletin. He said it needs to be taken in context. They were talking about heating the cylinder too fast. They weren't talking about the transition from rich of peak to lean of peak, but rather a very rich mixture to a slightly less rich mixture. The piston heats faster than the cylinder barrel, and it expands faster than the cylinder. The piston could potentially cause metal to metal contact.

In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, we sit down with Patrick Turner, a pilot who recently upgraded from the Piper M600 to the King Air 200. Patrick shares what it's really like making the leap from a single-engine turboprop to a twin-engine workhorse — from training and technology to the real-world challenges of owning and operating a larger aircraft.We explore the decision-making process behind the upgrade, how family and business needs shaped his choice, and what lessons he's learned about aircraft performance, safety, and pilot proficiency along the way. This conversation dives into the importance of training, the balance between automation and hands-on flying, and the rewarding experience of flying one of aviation's most respected platforms — the King Air 200.If you've ever thought about stepping up from a PA-46 or wondered whether a King Air could fit your mission, this episode offers firsthand insight from someone who's done it.
This week, we sit down with Jamail, the FAA's Ambassador for Aviation and Space Education and founder of AviationStart.org, to talk about the growing aviation workforce crisis — and why it could actually be the opportunity of a lifetime for anyone considering a career in aviation. From pilot and mechanic shortages to ATC hiring surges, Jamail breaks down what's really happening behind the numbers and how new students, mid-career changers, and aviation enthusiasts can prepare to step into the gap.
What does it really take to move from turning wrenches on helicopters to closing high-stakes aviation deals? We sit down with Joe, a former Army maintainer and crew member, to unpack the gritty, unfiltered path from technical mastery to building a business in a safety-first industry. The story starts on the flight line, where meticulous maintenance and responsibility for lives in the air forged a mindset that later shaped his entire sales approach.Joe shares how he discovered that being great at the craft is only a small slice of entrepreneurship. Quitting multiple jobs after a few big wins seemed like the right move—until three months passed with no calls. That drought became a lesson in pipeline, positioning, and patience. We walk through the real work behind a sustainable aviation business: marketing that educates, sales that protects safety and profit, accounting basics, insurance, branding, and the crucial habit of consistent follow-up. If you're eyeing aviation without a pilot license or A&P, you'll learn how to add value by building trust, asking better questions, and partnering with maintenance and operations teams who keep aircraft flying safely.We also dive into coaching and community. Joe invested in mentorships and observed top performers across industries, borrowing tactics without losing his voice. Success leaves clues—habits, systems, and standards you can adapt to aviation's tight-knit ecosystem. And for veterans leaving the service, we highlight resources to rebuild your network and find your footing in business aviation. The big takeaway: if you become truly good at sales, you'll always have a job, but in aviation the bar is higher—because every deal touches safety.If this conversation sparks your next move, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

In this episode, Wally Mulhern and Bobby Doss take listeners deep into the mindset and methods behind effective flight planning. They break down how professional pilots think, plan, and prepare—long before the engine ever starts.Wally explains why smart flight planning begins weeks in advance, sometimes as early as 20 days before departure, especially for longer trips. He shares how to select fuel stops just beyond the halfway point—around 280 to 320 miles—to maintain both efficiency and mental endurance. Past experiences taught him that chasing cheaper fuel can backfire through delays and limited services, making reliability and safety worth the extra cost.Weather plays a defining role in every flight, and Wally emphasizes checking forecasts repeatedly—three weeks, two weeks, ten days, and again the night before. He outlines how to analyze broad surface charts, TAFs, and METARs to anticipate conditions, adjust routes, and account for winds that can change fuel burn by up to 20% in a Cessna 172. He also discusses planning around TFRs and keeping alternate airports ready, even when not required.Bobby builds on that foundation with his focus on cockpit organization and readiness. His night-before checklist includes verifying oil levels, charging devices, updating ForeFlight, and packing flight materials. These habits reduce stress, save time, and make each preflight smoother. Wally echoes this with his own structured airline routine—packing the night before, updating iPads, and keeping notes on the yoke for future pilots. Both stress that good organization directly impacts performance and safety, especially during check rides.Together, they underline a shared philosophy: prepare early, plan thoroughly, and stay flexible. Weather forecasts are only predictions, sound judgment and real-time decision-making matter most. Their combined airline and general aviation experience shows that professional-grade preparation leads to safer, more confident flying.Whether you're a new student pilot or seasoned aviator, this episode delivers actionable insights on fuel management, weather interpretation, and cockpit discipline—helping you fly smarter, safer, and more like a pro.
In this episode 140 of The Afterburn Podcast, Rain sits down with retired US Marine Corps fighter pilot and Echelon Front leadership instructor Dave "Chip" Berke — the only Marine ever to fly the USAF F-22 and the first to operationally fly the F-35B. From deployment on the USS John C. Stennis and TOPGUN instructor duty, to commanding the Marines' first F-35B squadron and now helping build high-performing teams at Echelon Front, "Chip "brings unique stories and hard-earned leadership lessons. Find "The Need to Lead" here: https://amzn.to/4nlA67m “The Need to Lead” by Dave “Chip” Berke, with a contribution by Jocko Willink, explores what it truly means to lead under pressure — in combat, business, and life. Drawing on Berke's rare experience flying the F-18, F-16, F-22, and F-35B, the book distills the lessons learned from two decades of military service and years teaching leadership at Echelon Front. From the cockpits of the world's most advanced fighter jets to the classrooms where he now trains corporate teams, Berke breaks down how humility, accountability, and decisiveness shape effective leaders. His stories reveal how ego can sabotage performance and how embracing failure, listening, and empowering others are the real markers of command.
