Rachael Webster recounts the surreal experience of having her airplane stolen from Palo Alto Airport. Initially mistaking the tampered aircraft for a kind gesture, she later received a call from the club informing her that her Citabria had been stolen and flown toward San Carlos with its transponder off. The aircraft was eventually discovered, nose-down but largely intact, on a beach south of Half Moon Bay. The thief, a man calling himself “Sun Rock,” had allegedly sought to expose airport security flaws. After landing, he went for tacos and was promptly arrested. The recovery process was complex, requiring approvals from multiple agencies, delaying removal and worsening damage due to saltwater exposure. Although insurance nearly totaled the plane, it was instead repaired after months of delays due to maintenance backlogs. Despite the ordeal, Rachael remains positive, humorously considering marketing her aircraft as the only tailwheel trainer with "real beach landing experience." She has since launched a specialized tailwheel flight school, Next Level Tailwheel, incorporating Citabrias and Kitfox aircraft. Reflecting on the experience, she emphasizes patience in aircraft repairs, valuing skilled trades, and accepting that determined thieves will find a way—bike locks and all.

Max talks with CFI Jim Hopp, who shares insights about tailwheel flying. He explains that tailwheel planes offer a more hands-on flying experience, with fewer instruments and a stick for better control. The primary challenge in tailwheel flying is ground handling due to the center of gravity being behind the main gear, which increases the risk of swerving and ground loops during takeoff and landing. Hopp discusses gyroscopic precession, a factor that causes tailwheel planes to yaw left during takeoff, requiring more right rudder input. He also highlights the importance of precise rudder control, particularly in crosswinds, and explains the different landing techniques used in tailwheel planes: the three-point landing and the more advanced wheel landing. In the air, tailwheel planes demand more rudder usage due to their older, draggy designs, which make adverse yaw more noticeable. Hopp also talks about the requirements for a tailwheel endorsement, including extensive ground training and practice in handling the aircraft. He emphasizes that while tailwheel flying is more demanding, it offers rewarding experiences and improved piloting skills If you're getting value from this show, please support the show via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.

Captain Brian Schiff was flying on 9/11 when his plane was headed toward an erratic Flight 93. His story is amazing. Capt. Schiff is an Airline Pilot, Flight Instructor and one of the most innovative educators in general aviation. He flies for a major airline and is type-rated on the Airbus 320, Boeing 727, 757, 767, DC-9 (MD-80), CL-65, LR-JET, and G-V. And, in spite of all those big iron type ratings, you are just as likely to find Brian flying the pattern in his Citabria as you are to see him on the flight deck. “SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times. Register at SocialFlightLive.com to join the live broadcast every Tuesday evening at 8pm ET (be sure to join early because attendance is limited for the live broadcasts).

Keith Reeves wanted to be a pilot ever since he was a child, living on base at Kadena Air Base, Japan, and hearing the local F-4s and SR-71s taking off. When the family relocated to Selfridge Air Force Base he got the chance to get close to airplanes. A friend on base took him up for a flight in a General Aviation plane, and he was hooked. He attended the United States Air Force Academy, and flew with the Academy aero club. Before Undergraduate Pilot Training, he served as an engineer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, then he attended pilot training at Laughlin Air Force Base. Kevin qualified for the T-38 track, then flew B-52's for 5 1/2 years, rising to the position of Instructor Pilot. While flying B-52s, he bought a Citabria, and kept it for 10 years. He applied to the B-2 program, and was accepted on his third attempt. He remained on the B-2 for the remainder of his flying career, stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base. In addition to the B-2, Keith was dual-qualified in the T-38. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, he flew a 37-hour flight. Keith now flies as a B737 first officer for a major legacy airline.

Have you ever felt like you had lost your authentic self, while in pursuit of success and happiness? Well, our guest today is Greg Gagnon, the Barefoot Businessman from San Diego, CA.   Yes he really does business in his bare feet.  In fact he does most everything without shoes!  In this interview, Greg eloquently shares his journey to that transformation moment in his life - that tragic wake up call - where he realized he had lost himself in the pursuit of the American Dream.  A failed marriage, alcoholism, overworked and stressed, he had to make a change and there was no turning back.     He is still a successful businessman today, owning multiple retail stores, but he's learned now how to say NO to certain things so he can say YES more often to the positive possibilities of life.   Listen in as Greg shares what he did to recapture his true self, and how he has incorporated fun, friends, and freedom into his busy schedule.  Cool activities that add to the richness of life. Like running marathons barefoot, collecting and playing the Didgeridoo, paddling a Hawaiian Outrigger canoe, piloting a Citabria, building classic cars, and most of all, making authentic connections with people he meets along the way. Greg is dedicated to being a positive example for others, and welcomes the opportunity to help people discover their highest self.  He is a beautiful example of a man who graciously embraces life on every level.   Key Take-aways 1) What you consume, can consume you. 2) There are role models and possibility models.  3) Every day do something different. Mark it in your calendar and check it off.  4) You can purchase your future with your present actions. 5) There are 3 stages we journey through - Survival > Success > Significance To connect with Greg, visit him online at: www.ThriveBarefoot.com  https://www.facebook.com/thrivebarefoot  @Greg Gagnon #ThriveBarefoot
