Guest: Dr. Rachel MuncriefWhen we think about tackling climate change, it's easy to picture solar panels and wind farms. But there's another piece of the puzzle that impacts us all, every single day: how we get from point A to point B. Transportation accounts for a major share of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it's also an area of rapid innovation and urgent opportunity. From cleaner fuels in shipping lanes to electric trucks on highways, the road to a stable climate runs straight through the way we travel and transport goods. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Rachel Muncrief from The International Council on Clean Transportation, which is an organization leading the charge to transform global transportation systems with science-backed policy and practical solutions. We'll talk about where progress is being made, what challenges remain, and why rethinking transportation is critical for a climate-resilient future.

OB404: The Spirit of Separation Released to show supporters on 9/22/2025 Have a great week, and thanks for listening to Opposing Bases Air Traffic Talk! ✈️ Real pilots. Real controllers. Real talk.

This week, Nik sits down with his friend Man Phung for a two-part conversation that's as real as it gets. Man's path through aviation is full of twists, setbacks, and victories—and at the heart of it all is a powerful message: don't quit. Man fell in love with aviation as a kid in Hawaii, saving money as a teenager to earn most of his ratings before he even turned 18. But when the money ran out, he stepped away from flying for nearly two decades, building a successful career in sales and business. Then, during the hiring boom, Man reignited his aviation dream—buying his own airplane, building hours, and grinding through training while balancing family and work life. Along the way, there were engine failures, an off-airport landing, multiple checkride failures, and plenty of moments where it would have been easier to give up. Instead, Man doubled down, gave himself grace, and kept pushing forward. In this conversation, you'll hear: How a discovery flight in Honolulu lit the spark for Man's aviation dream The realities of training as a teenager with limited resources Why he stepped away from flying for 20 years—and what brought him back What it takes to buy your own airplane to build time (including smart financial strategies) The story of surviving an engine failure and off-airport landing Lessons learned from failed checkrides and the power of slowing down Why persistence, patience, and tenacity are the real keys to a long aviation career Man's story is a reminder that aviation isn't just about flying airplanes—it's about resilience. Whether you're a young pilot just starting out or a career-changer chasing your second chance, this episode will inspire you to stick with it, no matter what comes your way.

Kevin Nash dives into a controversial subject this week, taking aim at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s health promises and the messy truth about stem cell treatment. In a conversation that starts with airline chaos and ends with medical reform, Nash shares unfiltered thoughts about America's broken healthcare system and his own journey with stem cell therapy. The discussion peels back layers of politics, money, and access, revealing how much red tape still stands between American patients and real medical progress. Nash's personal account of his recovery after stem cell treatment outside the U.S. adds a firsthand look at what science can do when regulation doesn't get in the way. As always, Sean Oliver steers the conversation into unexpected territory—from airport etiquette and obesity in America to the economics behind medical breakthroughs. Their back-and-forth cuts through spin and exposes the contradictions in how we talk about “health freedom.” This episode isn't about politics; it's about systems—who controls them, who profits, and who's left waiting for answers. Nash's blunt reflections will make you rethink what “cutting-edge medicine” really means in the United States today. Watch the full episode of Kliq This #170: RFK—What About Stem Cell Treatment? now, and hear Kevin Nash explain why his trip to BioXcellerator in Colombia may have saved his leg and changed how he sees American healthcare forever.

In this episode, we speak with Trevor Best, Co-founder and CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics, who shares how his company's proprietary photocatalytic technology converts waste biogas into sustainable aviation fuel, and has the potential to reach fossil jet fuel parity. Best discusses:NovaSAF's unique value proposition: converting biogas from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment plants into SAF, simultaneously addressing methane emissions whilst decarbonising aviation transport.The technology's competitive advantage: using light instead of heat which enables the use of raw biogas without extensive cleanup, scaling efficiently at smaller sites, and increasing yield by incorporating CO2 into the fuel rather than separating it out.Strategic targeting of stranded biogas assets that are far from natural gas grids, which helps secure feedstock at low prices $5-6 per MMBtu, making jet fuel parity achievable.How Syzygy is building the world's first biogas-to-SAF plant in Uruguay, that can produce 400,000 gallons of SAF anually, serving as proof of concept before scaling to 100,000 tons per year by 2030 through clustered developments.The global biogas opportunity: the International Energy Agency estimates reserves could theoretically produce 580 million tons per year of SAF, exceeding total global jet fuel consumption, though 95% remains stranded today.Best also shares his leadership philosophy: the importance of listening over talking, the inevitability of failure in entrepreneurship, and why persistence matters more than avoiding mistakes.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Dave Kettner, President and General Counsel at Virent, who shares the company's pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future in aviation.

It's finally here – the biggest change to Qantas' domestic fleet in decades. The new A321XLR has joined the national carrier with its first commercial flight, and with 48 on order to replace the ageing 737-800s, it's the most ambitious phase yet in the airline's massive fleet renewal program. With a wider body, more fuel-efficient engines, and a slew of other changes, the A321XLR is a massive leap for the Flying Kangaroo – but does it live up to the hype, and what's being done about the delicate issue of the toilets? On this week's podcast, Jake has a full trip report of the inaugural flight of the Qantas A321XLR, and he and David discuss what it will do for the airline both domestically and internationally. Plus, Qantas looks to improve its battered reputation by making it a condition of CEO Vanessa Hudson's bonuses: will it work, or is it just a PR stunt?

In this inspiring episode of The Ugandan Boy Talk Show, we sit down with Sureya Umeimah — Miss Uganda 2024/25 First Runner-Up, Miss Uganda Eastern, and Top Model Uganda Winner 2024/25 — who is also a cadet pilot pursuing her commercial license.Sureya opens up about:Balancing the spotlight of beauty pageants with the intensity of pilot trainingBreaking barriers in aviation as a Ugandan womanGrowing up in a strict Muslim household and how it shaped her journeyHer advocacy for girl child education and women in leadershipNavigating mental health as a career woman in male-dominated spacesThis conversation is full of motivation, resilience, and empowerment — a must-watch for young dreamers, future pilots, and anyone inspired by women breaking barriers.

At The Red Eye, we tell true stories from the skies and the ground. They're funny, heartbreaking, and sometimes downright shocking - but today's story is different. It isn't just about a dramatic in-flight medical emergency. It's about the emotional toll it left behind, and what happens when the strength we've relied on for so long suddenly cracks.The crew member who donated this story, a seasoned flight attendant and cancer survivor, has weathered countless red-eyes. But when a passenger collapsed mid-flight on her London–Nigeria route, she found herself alone in the galley, protecting the cockpit, caring for an unwell passenger, and carrying the impossible weight of life-or-death decisions she wasn't trained to make.The real turbulence came later, alone in a hotel room far from home. For crew, the unspoken rule is simple: smile, stay composed, and leave your problems at the door. But the truth is that behind the uniform, flight attendants carry the same struggles as anyone else - grief, illness, financial stress, loneliness. And sometimes, the pause button we press during service can't hold it all back.This episode sheds light on the hidden mental health struggles faced by aviation professionals and reminds us that no one, no matter how strong, is immune to reaching their limit.

In this episode, Nik sits down with Michael Nixon, a flight attendant who is now preparing to begin his flight training to become a pilot. Michael's path hasn't been traditional—private security, marina work, a serious injury, and eventually the cabin—all of it shaped his drive to move toward the cockpit. Aviation is built on diverse backgrounds—military, civilian, international, first-generation pilots, flight attendants, engineers, and everything in between. Michael's story shows how these different paths come together to create the industry as it is today: dynamic, resilient, and deeply human. From mentorship and outreach, to the challenges of commuting, to the teamwork between pilots and flight attendants, this conversation shines a light on what makes aviation both demanding and rewarding. Whether you're just starting out or decades in, you'll find something here to inspire and encourage you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Michael's unique path from private security and marina work to becoming a flight attendant and aspiring pilot How a fractured femur led to a turning point in his life and opened the door to aviation Why representation and diversity in the cockpit matter, and how OBAP helps create opportunity The role of mentorship—both receiving it and paying it forward to the next generation Insights on financing flight training and choosing the right program, including Michael's plans with Sling Pilot Academy Nick's insider advice on making the most of aviation conventions like OBAP: networking, volunteering, and building long-term professional relationships The truth about commuting: crash pads, lost days, and why living close to base can save your career and your sanity How pilots and flight attendants can better understand each other's roles—and why teamwork between the cockpit and cabin makes every flight stronger Key Takeaway: Mentorship changes lives: seek it, embrace it, and pass it on!  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

What happens when a tech executive with a passion for flying gets the chance to combine both worlds? In this episode of Behind the Prop, hosts Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn welcome Barry Knuttila, President and CEO of King Schools, to explore that exact story.Barry recounts his early flying background, how a corporate collapse unexpectedly redirected his career, and the fateful moment he reached out to John and Martha King. That outreach led to a role as CTO during King Schools' transition to the internet era, eventually growing into leadership of the company itself. Along the way, Barry earned advanced ratings, flew Falcons with John and Martha, and became a familiar on-camera instructor.The discussion highlights King Schools' unique ethos—authenticity, humility, and an unwavering focus on student success. Barry explains how listening to customer feedback and treating students like friends has guided the company from the days of shipping VHS tapes to today's mobile-friendly apps, flashcards, and integrated flight school tools.Listeners will hear about how the flight training industry has shifted from primarily self-paced, individual learning to ab initio, career-focused programs. Barry shares how King Schools has responded by expanding its B2B offerings for universities and flight schools while continuing to serve individual learners. The conversation also covers innovations in course design, the importance of breaking training into smaller, more consumable segments, and King Schools' efforts to reduce checkride anxiety through immersive preparation courses.From personal reflections on flying helicopters and biplanes for fun to insights on the future of aviation training, Barry's perspective underscores both the timeless values and forward-looking vision that continue to shape King Schools. Whether you're a student pilot, CFI, or aviation enthusiast, this episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom for every stage of the journey.

Welcome back, pilots! Today, Nik is flying solo and diving deep into one of the most powerful qualities a pilot — or any leader — can have: GRIT. This episode unpacks why grit matters more than raw talent, how perseverance beats perfection, and what it takes to keep pushing when the skies get turbulent. From chair-flying one more rep to sending that next application, grit is the force that keeps you moving forward when everything else says quit. Nik walks through: What grit really is — passion + perseverance toward long-term goals Why resilience matters — bouncing back after setbacks and failures The power of consistency — showing up every day, even when motivation fades Why adversity builds better pilots — strong captains are forged in storms, not calm skies Practical ways to build grit — study more, train harder, stay disciplined If you're training, interviewing, or grinding through the long days in aviation, this episode is your reminder to stay the course. Easy flights don't make you a great pilot. Grit does. CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level? Don't wait until it's too late.

Aviation and marine transport together account for approximately 15% of global oil consumption—a substantial share driven by sectors that are among the hardest to decarbonize. Unlike road transport or power generation, these industries face unique constraints: the high energy density required, long operating ranges, and the limitations of onboard storage mean that electrification or hydrogen solutions remain technologically and economically unfeasible in the near to medium term.In response, policymakers and industry leaders are increasingly focusing on low-carbon liquid fuels as transitional solutions. Chief among these are Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), both of which can be used in existing infrastructure and engines with minimal modification. These fuels can be of biological origin—typically derived from waste oils, agricultural residues, or purpose-grown feedstocks—or synthetic origin, such as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) fuels produced via electrolysis and CO₂ capture.Globally, significant efforts are underway to scale up these alternatives. The European Union, for instance, has introduced blending mandates through the ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime regulations, requiring a gradual increase in the share of SAF or other renewable fuels used in transport. These policies are supported by a range of subsidies, research programs, and emissions trading mechanisms (e.g., EU ETS inclusion for aviation and shipping), all designed to stimulate supply and demand for cleaner fuels.To help unpack the complex interplay of technical, economic, and regulatory challenges, we invited Callum McPherson, Chair of its Sustainable Business Forum and Head of Commodities at Investec, a London-based investment bank. With a mandate to structure and trade a wide array of fuels, Callum provides real-world insight into how these markets are evolving—and the limitations that remain.Some of the key topics Laurent and Gerard explored with Callum included: Which green fuels have realistic pathways to scale, and which are unlikely to work due to poor energy return on investment, unsustainable feedstocks, or prohibitively high costs? How will regional mandates, particularly those in the EU, impact global markets—and will they be enforceable in practice? What role will synthetic fuels play, given their dependence on clean electricity, high capital costs, and still-immature supply chains?What emerges is a highly nuanced picture. Despite the political momentum and technological progress, the fundamental economics remain challenging. Current estimates suggest that the cost of abating one tonne of CO₂ in these sectors can easily exceed €1,000 requiring considerable public support, whether stick or carrot.High costs and regulatory uncertainties are probably some of the reasons why Shell has decided not to complete the construction of a SAF refinery in Rotterdam.Laurent and Gerard conclude that while green fuels are a necessary part of the decarbonization toolkit, they are far from a silver bullet. The financial and ecological trade-offs are significant, and at current cost trajectories, these fuels will make only a marginal dent in overall emissions curves—at least in the near term.  Finally, an excellent book on the general topic of biofuels by Michael Grunwald:  "We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate."“The views and opinions expressed by Callum Macpherson are his own and are provided for information purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any financial products or commodities.

In this episode of  @AfterburnPodcast  host John “Rain” Waters sits down with Bob “Bags” Simeone, a former Navy F/A-18 Hornet pilot who flew combat missions during Operation Desert Storm. From low-level strikes over Iraq to night tanking in icing conditions, Bags shares a raw, often hilarious, and deeply personal account of what it was like to be part of America's return to high-end warfare after Vietnam. They dive into what deployment looked like aboard the USS America in the early ‘90s, the challenges of navigating pre-GPS cockpits, and the chaos of coordinating missions in a pre–Link 16 world. Bags recounts everything from near-diverts over Australia to accidentally bombing a Kuwaiti beach house to make Saddam think an amphibious assault was coming.

October brings two exceptional modeling events to the Midwest that showcase the unique character and community spirit that make scale modeling such a rewarding hobby.First up on October 4th, the West Michigan IPMS presents their Great Lakes Challenge at the West Michigan Aviation Academy. What makes this venue extraordinary is its connection to aviation education – hosted at a STEM-focused public school where students actively participate in both organizing the event and building models themselves. Perhaps most impressive is how the show bridges generations, with Aviation Academy students eagerly assisting throughout the day. These young modelers represent the future of the hobby, learning precision and patience through scale modeling as part of their curriculum. With hourly seminars covering everything from weathering techniques to creating display bases, there's something for modelers of all skill levels to learn.Just two weeks later on October 18th, the Cincinnati Scale Modelers transform the Tri-State Warbird Museum into a modeling showcase where history comes alive. Picture displaying your 1/48 scale P-51 Mustang beneath the wing of an actual restored P-51D – that's the unique experience this venue offers. With fully restored World War II aircraft including a B-25, Focke-Wulf 190, the museum provides an immersive backdrop that celebrates both modeling craftsmanship and aviation history.Both shows feature vendor areas, special awards, raffles with valuable prizes, and food options that keep you fueled throughout the day.
