Lawman returns with an action-packed show. Get ready for intriguing stories, heartfelt tributes, and unforgettable moments. Lawman kicks off the show with a touching tribute to our friend and fellow pilot, Brian Shul, with reflections on their shared experiences. Then, he takes us on a crazy adventure with the 13th MEU, exploring vibrant cities like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Phuket. It wasn't good. . . but we set a record for about six potential show titles in under two minutes! Then, Lawman humorously ponders the whereabouts of his comrades on HMS Invincible; needless to say, hungover and naked is no way to brief a flgiht. The episode takes unexpected turns with stories from Phuket, Mexico, and Lawman's days as an Arizona State Trooper. From "Pimping Thai Whores" to "The Two Pretzels," Lawman's tales will keep you hooked and howling! Don't miss this thrilling and entertaining show.

We flew to Geneva to record an episode of Attaché (now on YouTube, link below), so how were our flights, and what did we think of the airport (the new C-Gates are excellent, the time at immigration not always). Does too much info add unnecessary travel stress? (Aka Flighty is Paul's IFE of choice in lounges). Is Covid wear and tear a thing? Some aircraft interiors look older than they should. Dublin airport can be frustrating, but it's pretty much forgiven when you can see one of the most famous airplanes in the world next to you. The 380 is an absolute winner in those times of constraints, the 777X could be too (come on, when???), but its new window dimming is what we'll have to settle for now. The new security machines are awesome, unless you shoot film (yes, you know, rolls of film in cameras, the youth won't know what we're talking about), and a photographer friend has some update on that front. Some LCY & Cityflyer love, but "that stupid goddamn piece of crap building that I'm sure is really important to the operation of the airport blocks the view" (HAHAHAHAHA). We both sing in unisson: BA is improving. Undercover flight attendant CEO, whilst Starlux's saves the day (but might get a fine). Did passengers gain weight during Covid? We have the answer (for Europe at least). Apple Vision Pro, the new IFE (Vomit Pro or not?). Remembering Brian Shul.Lots more stories, from Japan to terminal pubs (morning beer anyone?).And whilst we always forget to link stuff in those show notes, for sure go watch Attaché with Alex and Paul:https://youtu.be/0z4pNTXEN3U

Listen in to this special Memorial Day Minisode  as Robert talks about Memorial Day history, the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the military, and how he met the recently departed Brian Shul.

KVI's Kirby Wilbur, substituting today for morning host, John Carlson, eulogizes the incredible story of SR-71 Blackbird pilot Brian Shul, who died last week after suffering a heart attack at age 75. He joined the Air Force in 1970 and became an attack pilot during the Vietnam War, flying 212 combat missions. His story of being selected to fly the secretive SR-71 is monumental because of the injuries he over-came after crashing badly in combat aircraft in SE Asia. Kirby proceeds to discuss another story about the election of a new mayor in Philadelphia that provides a glimmer of hope for WA (and King County) future elections.

SR-71 BLACKBIRD Pilot Brian Shul passed at the age of 75 from cardiac arrest (May 20th). New research reveals many people who cheat still deeply love their partner or spouse, yet show little regret about their behavior. Krispy Kreme is sweetening graduation season by offering a dozen glazed doughnuts to the Class of 2023. The doughnut chain on Monday said any high school or college senior who wears their "Class of 2023 swag," such as a shirt, jacket, or even a graduation cap and gown, can get a free Original Glazed dozen in a special "Dough‑ploma"-wrapped box. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A szórakozóhely népszerű a Németországban állomásozó amerikai katonák között. A terrortámadásnak négy halottja és 230 sebesültje van – két amerikai katona veszíti életét, és több mint ötven katona sérül meg.A gyanú azonnal a líbiai diktátorra, Moammer Kadhafira terelődik. Ronald Reagan amerikai elnök kilenc nappal később légicsapásokat rendel el több líbiai katona célponttal szemben,  amelyet másnap végre is hajtanak. Kadhafi őrjöng, és vörös vonalat húz a térképen: minden behatolót lelövéssel fenyeget. A líbiai légvédelem teljes készültségben áll. A támadás után néhány órával a szovjet eredetű SA-2-es légvédelmi ütegek kezelői nem egy újabb repülőrajra, hanem egyetlen, gyorsan mozgó pontra lesznek figyelmesek. Egyetlen pontra, amely a radar alapján 25 km magasságban, a hangsebesség több mint háromszorosával átlépi a vörös vonalat, és a líbiai főváros felé tart. Azonnal rakétákat lőnek ki a célpont felé, amely a főváros után elfordul a Földközi-tenger irányába, és olyat tesz, amire senki nem számított: gyorsít. A következő két napban kétszer is megismétlődik ugyanez a jelenet: mindhárom alkalommal egész Líbiában hallani lehet a hangrobbanást, amelyet a láthatatlan pont hagy maga után.Míg a líbiai légvédelmi tisztek a fejüket vakarva nézik, ahogyan rakétáik az üzemanyagból kifogyva a tengerbe hullanak, 26 km magasságban Brian Shul, az amerikai légierő veterán pilótája tövig nyomja a gázt. Felderítő tisztje, Walter Watson, aki néhány méterrel hátrébb, a másik pilótafülkében ül, beleszól a rádióba: „Brian, nem kéne már lassítanod?” Shul ránéz a sebességmérőre: Mach 3.5-öt, 3600 km/h-t mutat. Visszaengedi a gázt, és utazósebességen, a hangsebesség „csupán” 3,2-szeresén, 3290 km/h sebességgel folytatják az utat egészen Angliáig. Az általuk készített, tűéles, nagy felbontású fotók néhány órával később az amerikai elnök asztalán landolnak, eközben a repülőgépet, a Lockheed SR-71 felderítőgépet átvizsgálják és felkészítik a következő küldetésre.Nem kell a repülés szakértőjének lennünk ahhoz, hogy lássuk: az SR-71, becenevén Blackbird, egy mérnöki csoda. Én magam nem vagyok mérnök, nem értek a repüléshez, de lenyűgöz az a tény, hogy 60 évvel ezelőtt, ceruzával, körzővel és logarléccel terveztek egy repülőgépet, amely minden sebességi rekordot megdöntött – és azóta is tartja őket.Most azonban nem a mérnöki zsenialitás miatt beszélünk a feketerigóról (habár erről is szó esik majd). Sok helyen dolgoztak ugyanis kiváló mérnökök ugyanebben az időben, de az a műhely, ahonnan ez a gép kigurult, mind közül kiemelkedett.A Skunk Works, magyarul Bűzösborz Művek, ugyanis ontotta magából azokat a technológiákat, amelyek forradalmasították a repülést, és végül megnyerték az Egyesült Államoknak a hidegháborút. A Bűzösborz Művekben született a Feketerigó mellett az első amerikai sugárhajtású repülőgép és az első lopakodó bombázó. Ezekhez a bravúrokhoz kellett a mérnöki zsenialitás mellett valami más is. Vagy inkább „valaki más”: egy vezető, akinek menedzsmentmódszerei a Bűzösborz Művekben évekkel megelőzték korát.A következő írásban három projekten keresztül tekintünk be a Bűzösborz Művek kulisszái mögé. Megnézzük, mit tanulhatunk vezetői szemmel három szupertitkos katonai projektből, és hogyan alkalmazták ezeket a módszereket máshol. Mind a három projektnél 3-3 vezetői tanulságot hozok, amelyeket ha lemásolunk, akkor megismételhetjük az SR-71 sikerét, kicsiben.A kezdetek és a Bűzösborz Művek alapítója (1932-1943)

This is the second week and second part of our most downloaded episode of the OldGuyTalksToMe Podcast. In this episode, I talked with Brian Shul, pilot of the world's Fastest Airplane, the SR 71, and a retired major in the United States Air Force (USAF).   He flew 212 combat missions and was shot down near the end of the war. He was so severely burned that he was given no chance to live. Surviving, he returned to full flight status, flying the SR-71 Blackbird. Major Shul completed a 20-year career in the Air Force. After 20 years and 5000 hours in fighter jets, Shul retired from the Air Force in 1990 and went on to pursue his writing and photographic interests. He has written four books on aviation and runs a photo studio in Marysville, California. Near the end of hostilities in 1973, his T-28 aircraft was shot down in the vicinity of the Cambodian border. Recovery from the burns took several months and 15 major operations. Physicians told him he'd never fly again. Months of physical therapy followed, enabling Shul to pass a physical flight and return to active flying duty. Post-Vietnam Two days after being released from the hospital, Shul was flying Air Force fighter jet aircraft. Shul volunteered for and was selected to fly the SR-71. This assignment required an astronaut-type physical just to qualify, and Shul passed without waivers. Shul's comeback story has been the subject of numerous magazine articles conscious and teaching them how to survive such incidents better. In addition to running his own photo studio in northern California, he has authored seven books on flying and flight photography. His first two books (Sled Driver: Flying The World's Fastest Jet and The Untouchables) are about flying the SR-71 Blackbird and give the reader a first-hand account of being in the cockpit of the world's fastest jet.   A bit about me (Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj) Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj enjoyed a prestigious career as a periodontal regenerative surgeon moving to a new passion in June 2018.

Welcome to the show about learning to fly, living to fly, and loving to fly. Joining us today is Brian Shul SR-71 pilot, keynote speaker and author Of Sled Driver, Flying The World’s Fastest Jet. In a time where many have given up on their dreams of flight Brian’s story will truly inspire future aviators. […] The post SMAC251 Overcoming Adversity And Flying The World’s Fastest Jet with Brian Shul appeared first on Stuck Mic AvCast - An Aviation Podcast About Learning to Fly, Living to Fly, & Loving to Fly.

Today's show features Brad Wakefield who talks about shooting press work and how in many respects it's similar to photographing a wedding in terms of story capture. Why don't we talk about micro two thirds? And other questions, all in The FujiCast Daily. Remember the show lives by your questions and thoughts on photography, so keep sending them in to click@fujicast.co.uk  Brad Wakefield: https://www.bradwakefield.com/  Brian Shul's spy plane photography: bit.ly/brianshul 

Yep, when we get into a bind at the Hangar 49 studios, we start to babble, and the show starts to crash, we just reach for the handle and pull the chute.  Easy, right?  Maybe.  In this show we talk about a flight where they, "pulled the chute," right in our own backyard.  Plus, another incident that "impacted" one of Al's favorite rental Cessnas.  Climb aboard...it's fate...and we have that movie, too.  Plus, we check our speed at nearly 2,000 nautical miles per hour.

The Moneywise Guys Friday, February 9th www.MoneywiseGuys.com Guest: Maj. Brian Shul, (USAF Ret.) Top-Secret SR-71 Pilot 

In 1973, Brian Shul was an Air Force T-28 pilot advising the Thai Air Force when his airplane was shot down over Cambodia. He suffered catastrophic burns and spent over a year in the hospital, with numerous experts telling him he would never fly again. He was determined to prove them wrong. Two days after being released from the hospital, Brian was back flying Air Force fighter jet aircraft. He went on to fly the A-7D, and was then selected to be a part of the first operational A-10 squadron at Myrtle Beach, SC, where he was on the first A-10 air show demonstration team. After a tour as an A-10 Instructor Pilot at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, he went on to instruct at the Air Force’s Fighter Lead-In School as the Chief of Air-to-Ground Academics. As a final assignment in his career, Shul volunteered for and was selected to fly the SR-71. This assignment required an astronaut type physical just to qualify, and Shul passed with no waivers. He started taking photographs of the SR-71, and since retiring has published two books of SR-71 photos and information, and then turned his attention to photographing birds and nature.   His "speed check" story is the most-repeated story in all of aviation.

Brian Shul speaks softly and carries a big stick. The American war hero every bit worthy of Roosevelt’s words flew 212 missions in the Vietnam War before his nearly fatal crash. With his body severely burned, Shul was in so much pain that he wanted to die. Then one day, lying in his hospital bed, he heard children playing soccer and the voice of Judy Garland singing “Over the Rainbow” on the radio. Suddenly, Shul, at 25-years-old, realized he had a lot to live for. He set himself on a determined road of recovery that would span 15 reconstructive surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy. Shul eventually turned his amazing story of survival into his greatest strength, and he went on to be one of fewer than 100 people to pilot the SR-71 Blackbird, a U.S. spy plane largely operational during the Cold War and thereafter. Shul and flight engineer Walter Watson flew multiple missions in which they escaped missiles over enemy territory including the Soviet Union and Libya, gathering footage and information that would help the U.S. win the Cold War. Unlike other STEM-Talk guests, Shul is neither engineer nor scientist, but he piloted and knew intimately of one of the greatest feats of both. The plane went 3,400 feet per second, which is faster than most bullets and is the speed of traveling between LA and D.C. in an hour and four minutes. For more information on Brian Shul, visit his Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Shul. Also, check out the YouTube video of his IHMC lecture, “From Butterflies to Blackbirds,” which has had more than 180,000 viewers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kIMTJRgyn0. Shul is also the author of Sled Driver: The World’s Fastest Jet: http://amzn.to/29ml4LH and The Untouchables: http://amzn.to/29fn1Yk. Here is a link to Shul’s recently opened photo gallery in Marysville, California: https://galleryonepublishing.com/sleddriver/galleryone.html 00:35: Dawn introduces herself and Ken Ford. 00:51: Ford says the SR-71 was the “remarkable product” of a sustained United States investment in STEM. 2:23: Ford reads an iTunes 5-star review of STEM-Talk from PTL Stan: “I love these interviews with the people who are leading these fields. Good science with amazingly friendly interviews by the experts themselves. The quality is amazingly good, and the subjects move right along with my thinking. Thank you, IHMC.” 2:54: Dawn describes Shul’s background. He became an airshow demonstration pilot and taught at the Air Force’s Top Gun School. He retired from the Air Force in 1990. 3:58: Shul was born in Quantico, Va. His father, who had spent 32 years in the Marine Corp, encouraged Shul to join the Air Force because of his strong interest in flying. 5:30: Shul describes the “moment of peace” before his plane crashed during the Vietnam War. “The inevitability of impacting the earth became quite clear…. For a very brief moment, you could actually see your life flash before your eyes. In a nanosecond, I could see the funeral; I could see my parents standing at graveside. And then of course the crash and the fire brought you back to reality.” 6:43: Shul describes his blind escape from the burning plane: “The heat of the fire and the reality that I had not died and was still alive became apparent to me with the pain of the fire.” 7:40: Shul describes his will to live, despite periods of deep depression and wanting to die. 10:32: ‘I’m the product of a lot of people who helped me along the way, from therapists, to surgeons, to nurses, to doctors, to Air Force flight surgeons. There were a lot of people who had a lot to do with getting Brian Shul out of a hospital bed back into the cockpit.” 13:00: “I was in awe of my own body that wanted to heal itself…. You had to want to do your therapy, and it’s not an easy thing to want when it’s just going to hurt the whole time you’re doing it.” 14:15: Shul describes his tenure of teaching at the Air Force Top Gun school.
