100 year old RAF veteran Tom Davidson shares his experiences of flying on a Halifax in 1944-1945. In this episode of Never Mind the Dam Busters, Jane and James discuss the Handley Page Halifax, an unsung hero of Bomber Command. They delve into the evolution of the Halifax, from the 'death-trap' early Marks to the magnificent Mk III, and its role in strategic bombing, mine laying, and other operations during World War II. They also interview Tom Davidson, a flight engineer with 466 Squadron, who shares his experiences of flying in the Halifax and the strong bond he had with his crew. Funny, moving, and tragic - this is an episode you won't want to miss - and how can you not love that Geordie accent? Watch out for photos of Tom, his pilot Pat and the rest of the crew on our social media. You can read more of Tom's story, and about the Halifax and the men who flew it, in Jane's book, Above Us The Stars. If you'd like to see a real Halifax (well, a reconstructed one), visit Yorkshire Air Museum and Friday the 13th. You can even go on a tour of the inside (well worth it!) Details here There's also S-Sugar at the RAF Museum in Hendon, still in the same state as when it was fished out of a Norwegian fjord...a very thought-provoking sight.

Meet retired Marine Drill Instructor "JC," the man who turned terrorizing into an art form for officer candidates dreaming of the skies! In his time, JC wasn't just flying high as a Marine Plane Captain in an F-4 Phantom Squadron or mastering the systems as a Flight Engineer on the KC-130. Oh no, he was also the gatekeeper of dreams at the Navy's Aviation Officers' Candidate School in Pensacola. Imagine trying to become a naval aviator with JC as your personal obstacle course! In his rollicking book, "The Pressure Cooker: Forging Naval Officers Through Marine Leadership," JC recounts 240 hilarious and hair-raising stories from naval officers who somehow survived his drill sergeant tactics to earn their Ensign's bars. These tales aren't just stories; they're rites of passage, signed, sealed, and delivered by the king of the candidate gauntlet himself. Want a peek into what it takes to soar through the ranks (and survive JC's legendary "guidance")? Buckle up, and grab a copy. Your flight lesson into the awe-inspiring begins now!
On 13th February 1974 G-BBDG took off for the first time. Our panel of Allan Winn, Terry Selman, Gordon Roxburgh and former Chief Concorde Pilot Mike Bannister discuss Delta Golf's remarkable journey from test flights to arriving here at Brooklands and and most importantly, what it was like to fly her. UPDATE - WE ARE DELIGHTED THAT CONCORDE PILOT JOCK LOWE JOINS US FOR THIS PANEL TALK. Allan Winn Allan's role in beinging Delta Golf to Brooklands was to fight the legal, regulatory, technical, financial and commercial battles to get it to Brooklands in the first place, and then get it restored and into service as a genuine revenue-generator forthe Museum. Mike Bannister Mike's proudest association with DG comes from my time at British Airways, the owners of the aircraft. Whilst at BA he was one of a very small group that decided where each Concorde should go after retirement. Mike lobbied heavily for Brooklands and managed to convince the others that the Museum was the right site and that DG was the perfect 'Concorde' to be allocated. Terry Selman Joined BOAC (BA) from school to complete a 5-year apprenticeship, went on to obtain UK CAA maintenance engineers licences before taking up a position as an Overseas Line Station Engineer. In 1975 attended 3-month Concorde training course in Bristol after which posted to RAF Fairford and Brize Norton to provide maintenance support during the Pilot, Flight Engineer training program. After completing the training program, he was posted to Bharain for 2 years to provide line station support for the first Concorde commercial passenger flights. Gordon Roxburgh Gordon Roxburgh, founder of the ConcordeSST website, used the power of the internet to bring together and lead a group of over 100 volunteers, many new to Brooklands Museum and to aircraft engineering for that matter, to help restore G-BBDG. The Team also worked on the restoration of the Concorde Simulator. Many of the team are still volunteers today at Brooklands and other museums around the country.

Welcome to the first episode of our four part series with NASA, focusing on how they approach human performance for the unique demands of spaceflight. We're starting with an astronaut and in the rest of the series we'll be talking with the human performance and research teams who support them. Stay tuned! Colonel (retired) Shane Kimbrough is a 1989 West Point graduate where he was captain of the baseball team. He was commissioned as an aviation officer and flew Apaches, including in Desert Storm. He got his Masters of Science degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998, and headed back to West Point to teach in the math department. While he was teaching he got selected by NASA to be an astronaut and he entered that program in 2004. He completed his first spaceflight in 2008 on STS-126, one of the last shuttle missions where they were building the international space station. He spent almost 16 days on the mission to expand the crew living quarters to accommodate a six-member crew on the International Space Station (ISS). He performed two spacewalks during this mission. On his second spaceflight, Kimbrough launched to the ISS on the Russian Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This mission lasted 173 days as part of Expeditions 49 and 50, where he performed four spacewalks and numerous science and maintenance activities. He most recently served as commander of the NASA/SpaceX Crew-2 Dragon spacecraft, which launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Once on the ISS, Kimbrough served as Flight Engineer of Expedition 65/66. He performed three spacewalks during the 199-day mission. Kimbrough now has a total of 388 days in space. For additional insights into Shane's approach to fitness, your can read his profiles in Men's Health and Men's Journal.

In Tony's words: I served 22 years in the Navy and flew as the Flight Engineer on the P3 Orion aircraft for over 20 years. In the year 1981 on the island of Oahu while stationed at the Barbers Point Naval Air Station and after departing the runway at over 150MPH in an aircraft incident during an emergency engine out landing I had an intense OBE in the middle of that incident. Two days later I had my NDLE and was in the Light of my Creator whom I call God. On this episode, Tony shares the details of the harrowing experience that induced his out of body experiences and connection with The Other Realm, and the journey on his quest for further understanding about the nature of our souls and about his experiences.

We appreciate all of our listeners (frequent flyers) and thank you for your support. We are happy to announce our first sponsor, a supplement company that has a new product called Magic Mind. We will be test subjects, using the product ourselves and reporting our results to the audience. While the position of Flight Engineer or Second Officer no longer exists in most of the world, it was a key component in the overall operation of FedEx that lasted well into the twenty-first century. Getting started investing in mutual funds is easy; accumulate money while you sleep. Total isolation and being cut off from the outside world is bad. Everyone needs to either be on a team or support a team of some type to live a fuller life. Now that NASA and its partners have successfully deflected a small asteroid millions of miles from earth, they may develop a system to alter the path of a much bigger one to avoid a collision that will end life on this planet.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
I was hired by United Airlines as a Flight Officer on October 16, 1978. In those days they used the term "Flight Officer" instead of "Pilot" because most new-hires were assigned as Flight Engineers. Now, of course, new-hires are all hired as pilots. My road to the airlines: 1977: Flight Engineer written exam 1977: Airline Transport Pilot written exam - FAILED on the first attempt! 1977: Self-study for ATP written exam - PASSED with 99% 1977: Airline Transport Pilot practical test - Beech 18 1978 (March): Flight Engineer training at Arnautical, Inc. 1978 (April): Instructed Flight Engineer trainees at Arnautical 1978 (May): Updated United application 1978 (July): Interviewed with United Airlines 1978 (October): New-hire at United 1981 (June): Furloughed!

Anytime John Lear talks conspiracies, it’s time to shut up and listen. Tonight John talks about a universe that is much bigger than most of us realize. Sit back and listen to the Godfather of Conspiracy on My Alien Life.“One of the anguishes of advancing age is losing old friends. The upside of that, though, is that I get to tell the story my way."I learned to fly at Clover Field in Santa Monica when I was 14. However before I got to get in an actual airplane Dad made me take 40 hours of Link with Charlie Gress. I can't remember what I did yesterday but I guarantee you I could still shoot a 90 degree, Fade-out or Parallel radio range orientation.When I turned 16 I had endorsements on my student license for an Aero Commander 680E and Cessna 310.I got my private at 17 and instrument rating shortly thereafter. The Lockheed 18 Lodestar was my first type rating at age 18. I went to work for my father and brother flying copilot on a twin beech out of Geneva Switzerland after I got out of high school. Dad was over there trying to peddle radios to the European airlines. However just after I turned 18 and got my Commercial I was showing off my aerobatics talents in a Bucker Jungmann to my friends at a Swiss boarding school I had attended. I managed to start a 3 turn spin from too low an altitude and crashed.I managed to get the following type ratings: 707/720/727, Convair 240/340/440, DC-3, DC-8, B-26, Gulfstream 1, Lockheed Constellation, Lear Jet series, HS-125, Lockheed L-1011, Lockheed L-18, Lockheed P-38, Martin 202/404, B-17, B-25, Grumman TBM and Ford Trimotor. I also have single and mufti engine sea, rotorcraft helicopter and gyroplane, and lighter than air free balloon. I never got all categories having missed the Airship. And in case you are interested many, many airmen have lots more type ratings. What I did get…that no other airman got was most FAA certificates: these are the ATP, Flight Instructor with airplane single and mufti engine, instrument, rotorcraft helicopter and gyroplane and glider. Flight Navigator, Flight Engineer, Senior Parachute Rigger, Control Tower Operator, A&P, Ground Instructor, Advanced and Instrument and Aircraft Dispatcher. I have 19,488 hours of total time of which 15,325 hours is in 1,2,3 or 4 engine jet. I took a total of 181 FAA (or designated check airman) check rides and failed 2. I have flown 119 types of airplanes, helicopters, gyroplanes and gliders.Of the thousands of times I knowingly violated an FAA regulation I was only caught once but never charged or prosecuted.Now some of you may be asking why so many airlines collapsed that I worked for and why I got fired so many times. My excuse is simple. I am not the brightest crayon in the box, I am extremely lazy, I have a smart mouth and a real poor f**king attitude.” John LearLas Vegas, July 2004
We have such great people at the track and James Bock is another one! What a great friend who has another amazing story. I think after we talked about his favorite helicopter we spent a little time talking about racing! Ha!

Jim Ferrari has been a CFI for over 45 years. He fascination with flying started when he was nine years old, taking his first flight on a B-707 and getting an inflight tour of the cockpit. His father’s employment with NASA gave him the opportunity to see actual mission flight plans and activities. Jim wanted to fly in the military, but bad eyes kept him out, so he worked throughout high school to earn money for flying lessons. He received his Private Pilot certificate while still in high school, and earned the rest of his certificates (CFI. Inst, MEI) in college. After graduation he got a job flying in night single-pilot operations in the Beech-18, then moved up to twin Otters and Shorts 330 at Metro Airlines. Finally, he was hired by United Airlines. In 1985, when he was hired, he became a member of the famous “Class of 570”, where the class was hired to be strike-breakers, but they refused to cross the picket line and were subsequently fired. They were finally re-hired after almost a year of unemployment. When he finally came back to United, he became a Flight Engineer on the DC-10. It took five years for the Class of 570 to obtain restored seniority. Jim eventually became a B737-300 instructor at the United Airlines Flight Training Center, then worked his way up (through B767, Airbus, and B777) to B787 Captain. Jim recently retired, and plans to continue as a CFI.
Tatsha Robertson is a New York Times best-selling ghost writer. She is the co-author, of the book, The Formula: Unlocking the Secrets to Raising Highly Successful Children, with Harvard professor, Dr. Ronald Ferguson. Tatsha, a native of Greenville, SC, is a graduate of Morris College in Sumter, SC, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in English; and a M.A. in Journalism from The Ohio State University. Ms. Robertson has written for several newspapers across the country, including the Boston Globe. She is a former editor of People and Essence magazines. She is a ghost writer for Little Brown Book Group and Harper Collins Publishers; and a writer for BenBella Books. Tatsha and her husband, Nico, live in New York City, where she is currently writing an African-American sci-fi thriller. In today's episode, we discuss the 8 parental roles and how they work: The Early Learning Partner lights the fire in young children to learn and develop problem solving skills before they start school. Most of the highly successful children Ferguson and Robertson interviewed could read basic words by the time they started kindergarten, which impressed teachers and started the children's school years on a very positive note. The Flight Engineer works to ensure that the child is getting everything s/he needs in school, and will step in whenever necessary to make sure this continues. (This sounds like Ground Control Parenting!) The Fixer makes sure that no opportunity is lost or overlooked, regardless of the parent's resources. If the parent determines that there is an opportunity his or her child should have access to, s/he won't stop until a way is found to provide it. The Revealer introduces children to worlds beyond their own, again regardless of the family's income. If they can't afford to travel to other lands, they go to local museums and libraries and other cultural institutions where children can explore and learn. The Philosopher answers children's deep and thoughtful questions honest and earnestly and encourages them to ask more. They help their children try to understand life and find their purpose. The Model gives children behavior to emulate. The Negotiator teaches children to advocate for themselves, and how to deal with people who exercise authority and power. The GPS Navigational Voice ensures that the parents' voices will be in their children's heads well after the kids have left home to pursue their futures. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/patricia-bligen-jones/message

Tracy M. spends nearly seven days a week teaching people how to fly airplanes. You read that right--SEVEN. Whether he is practicing maneuvers in the air, teaching in a classroom, or just helping colleagues increase their knowledge, he is one of the most dedicated aviators around. He joins me on Episode 15 of Stick Talk to talk about his time in the Navy, post-service life, and journey to becoming a Flight Instructor. Tracy served as a Flight Engineer assisting in essential crew duties and system monitoring in a Lockheed P3 Orion (NOAA uses this plane to fly into the middle of hurricanes). His experience as a naval aviator made his decision to pursue his civilian flight ratings an easy one. It is a prime example of how the GI Bill can be a truly incredible reward for service in the armed forces. Originally, Tracy did not see himself becoming a flight instructor after finishing initial flight training. He talks about how the decision to pursue flight instructing influenced his progress and development as a pilot more-so than if he were to do a different time-building opportunity. Tracy gives some great tips and tricks on various aspects of aviation and discusses the importance of CRM in the cockpit. Check out the official Stick Talk Podcast website! sticktalkpod.com

Anytime John Lear talks conspiracies, it’s time to shut up and listen. Tonight John talks about a universe that is much bigger than most of us realize. Sit back and listen to the Godfather of Conspiracy on My Alien Life. “One of the anguishes of advancing age is losing old friends. The upside of that, though, is that I get to tell the story my way."I learned to fly at Clover Field in Santa Monica when I was 14. However before I got to get in an actual airplane Dad made me take 40 hours of Link with Charlie Gress. I can't remember what I did yesterday but I guarantee you I could still shoot a 90 degree, Fade-out or Parallel radio range orientation.When I turned 16 I had endorsements on my student license for an Aero Commander 680E and Cessna 310.I got my private at 17 and instrument rating shortly thereafter. The Lockheed 18 Lodestar was my first type rating at age 18. I went to work for my father and brother flying copilot on a twin beech out of Geneva Switzerland after I got out of high school. Dad was over there trying to peddle radios to the European airlines. However just after I turned 18 and got my Commercial I was showing off my aerobatics talents in a Bucker Jungmann to my friends at a Swiss boarding school I had attended. I managed to start a 3 turn spin from too low an altitude and crashed. I managed to get the following type ratings: 707/720/727, Convair 240/340/440, DC-3, DC-8, B-26, Gulfstream 1, Lockheed Constellation, Lear Jet series, HS-125, Lockheed L-1011, Lockheed L-18, Lockheed P-38, Martin 202/404, B-17, B-25, Grumman TBM and Ford Trimotor. I also have single and mufti engine sea, rotorcraft helicopter and gyroplane, and lighter than air free balloon. I never got all categories having missed the Airship. And in case you are interested many, many airmen have lots more type ratings. What I did get…that no other airman got was most FAA certificates: these are the ATP, Flight Instructor with airplane single and mufti engine, instrument, rotorcraft helicopter and gyroplane and glider. Flight Navigator, Flight Engineer, Senior Parachute Rigger, Control Tower Operator, A&P, Ground Instructor, Advanced and Instrument and Aircraft Dispatcher. I have 19,488 hours of total time of which 15,325 hours is in 1,2,3 or 4 engine jet. I took a total of 181 FAA (or designated check airman) check rides and failed 2. I have flown 119 types of airplanes, helicopters, gyroplanes and gliders.Of the thousands of times I knowingly violated an FAA regulation I was only caught once but never charged or prosecuted. Now some of you may be asking why so many airlines collapsed that I worked for and why I got fired so many times. My excuse is simple. I am not the brightest crayon in the box, I am extremely lazy, I have a smart mouth and a real poor f**king attitude.” John LearLas Vegas, July 2004 You can find my website at www.myalienlifepodcast.com and our latest downloads are always at iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher at podbean.com and everywhere else fine podcasts are found…...and please follow me and like me on Facebook and Twitter...

Steve Forte got his introduction to flying by sitting next to his father in the family airplane. After seeing The High And The Mighty, he was fully bitten by the aviation bug, and took flying lessons while still in high school. Steve "paid his dues" in civilian aviation, working various jobs and finally becoming a pilot, with Cochise airlines. One of his jobs was collecting the airsick bags at the end of every flight! After serving as an air ambulance pilot and flying Metroliners, he was finally hired by United Airlines in 1979. At United, he started off as a Flight Engineer on the DC-8. Like everyone else hired during that time period, he was furloughed from United in 1981, and decided to go back to school, earning a full-ride scholarship to the University of Arizona to pursue his MBA. After recall at United, he became a flight instructor at the Denver Flight Training Center, and quickly rose up the management ranks, finally becoming Senior Vice President of Flight Operations. Steve retired from United at age 50 and became President, CEO and COO of Naverus Corporation, a pioneer in performance-based navigation technologies for air traffic management. He later became Chief Operating Officer and Director of Operations for Virgin America Airlines. After Virgin America was acquired by Alaska Airlines, Steve worked on writing his book, Takeoff, and producing a romantic comedy, Under The Eiffel Tower. Steve is now Vice President of JetBlue University, and he still flies trips as Captain on JetBlue's A-320 airplanes.

Gregory Poole is a former Coast Guard flight engineer, based in Southern California. When he was a teenager, he saw a poster of a military helicopter, and that was his inspiration to enlist. His training was in North Carolina, learning avionics, electrical, mechanical and rescue. He cross-trained in numerous fields. As an early flight engineer, he performed a rescue at the bottom of a cliff where a car had gone off the road, and he had to conduct the rescue with the rotor blades inches from the face of the cliff. His rescue helicopter was the HH-52, similar to the Sea King helicopter. As flight engineer, he performed all preflight and post-flight inspections, with special attention to hydraulics. During actual missions, he operated the night spotlight and forward-looking infra-red (FLIR), which was essential in night rescue missions. Greg also participated in law enforcement missions. Greg is also an experienced martial artist instructor. He started in Philippines martial arts, then branched in to aikido, tae kwan do, hapkido, jeet kun do and salat. He has developed his own system, and now trains youngsters.

Way back in episode four of the podcast, I talked to Andrew Panton about the Lancaster Bomber; Andrew is the pilot of Lancaster ‘Just Jane’ here in the UK. Whilst chatting the role of flight engineer came up, I had no clue what they actually did, I wasn’t aware they worked in tandem with the pilot to fly the plane. Ever since I’ve been on the lookout for someone to talk to about the role, if you do a search on Amazon you’ll discover how overlooked the Flight Engineer has been in the historiography. Earlier this year Colin Pateman released his latest book ‘Fuel, Fire and Fear: RAF Flight Engineers at War’, clearly he is the man to speak!
NASA Astronaut Jack Fischer joins ON CUE podcast. Jack (Colonel, U.S. Air Force) was selected by NASA in July 2009. The Colorado native served as a Flight Engineer aboard the International Space Station of the Expedition 51/52. During his 2017 mission, he logged 136 days in space with two spacewalks.
The aviation community is as close knit as it gets. Tonight, the SimpleFlight Crew learned that it just isn't about airplanes, but also about making the connection between airplanes and the people that flew them. This becomes even more poignant when it comes to warbirds. Our guest, Shad Morris, Flight Engineer on CAF's Fifi (B-29) and T-6 Crew Chief at the Reno National Championship Air Race, is also one heck of a mechanic and an aficionado when it comes to aircraft engines. Join Marc and Rhonda in understanding his passion for what he does and the importance of teaching the youth of today about the role these planes played in providing us the present we get to enjoy. You're going to love this episode. Check out Fifi's web site www.airpowersquadron.org for more info on when and where you can see and get a ride in this iconic aircraft. **************** We hope you enjoy listening as much as we love talking to others who share our passion for aviation. Let us know what you think! BLUE SKIES and TAILWINDS!!!
