Podcasts about Oshkosh

In 1999, a handful of people gathered at a dusty Namibian airfield to meet two men flying weight-shift microlights around the world. One of them was Mike Blyth. Watching from the crowd was a boy who had never left the country, whose family couldn't afford much flying, and who had no real concept of where these men had come from — only that whatever they were doing, he wanted to do it too.Twenty-five years later, JP Schulze has flown around the world himself, built the first Sling High Wing off the line — designed by the same Mike Blyth — and become one of the most distinctive filmmakers in aviation.This one took a while to make happen. We finally met at Oshkosh this year, and JP is candid about being a naturally shy person who ended up with a career in front of a camera.He grew up in Namibia with no art classes and no creative outlets, thinking in German and Afrikaans, teaching himself English from the Discovery Channel at eight years old. He was taking the controls of his dad's microlight at ten. He funded his first licence by free-diving for crayfish, selling snake venom, and restringing tennis rackets.The around-the-world trip nearly didn't happen twice. Sponsors walked after a Cirrus ditched near Hawaii and the CAPS pull ran on every news channel — nobody wanted their logo on a small plane over an ocean. So JP and Louis Cole self-funded it, and JP is honest about what that cost: the fourteen-hour legs, the multi-hour shouting match somewhere between Fiji and Kiribati, and the weight of being responsible for a non-pilot's life for the first time.In this episode:Meeting Mike Blyth in 1999 — and building his airplane twenty years laterGrowing up flying "sketchy" weight-shift trikes over the African bushWhy Southern Africa has a GA scene almost nobody expectsMoving to New Zealand at seventeen and rebuilding from scratch in a third languageMeeting Louis Cole on a sand dune and having his life change in a daySigning with Discovery, then watching the money disappearWhat flying around the world actually took — and why he'd do it againInsisting on being the first to build the Sling High Wing, then helping write the manualWhy he refuses to post weekly, and what that has cost himThe sunglasses he built because a $350 pair costs $10 to makeWhy print still matters, and what we both think is at stakeWe also recorded a second conversation about the around-the-world flight itself — that one is exclusive to the magazine, with the audio released free a year after publication.Happy Flying,JustinSupport JP - otavi.co best sunglasses for pilotsPilot to Pilot Magazine — Volume 003 is out now.

Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn open the episode by celebrating the milestone of reaching 201 shows and reflecting on listener engagement from Oshkosh and beyond. The main topic focuses on the first five minutes of flight, the phase where workload spikes as pilots manage engine start, avionics, passengers, and clearances before taxi. They stress the importance of sterile cockpit discipline once the engine is running to prevent distractions that can lead to incidents like runway excursions. Wally shares his approach to control checks before engine start and using checklists as verification tools rather than to-do lists. The conversation covers common checkride mistakes such as incomplete taxi readbacks that omit the assigned runway and failing to anticipate instructions by listening to other traffic. During the taxi to run-up phase, they highlight situational awareness in congested areas like the delta ramp at Hooks Airport and the value of positioning to allow space for others. Bobby outlines his three-part mental model of setup, decision point at run-up, and final go/no-go assessment while advocating for finding reasons not to fly rather than reasons to proceed. The takeoff decision includes the fifty-seventy rule for aborting if rotation speed is not achieved halfway down the runway and personal flows like lights, clocks, and fuel. In the initial climb they stress completing the after-takeoff checklist promptly to avoid configuration issues such as forgotten flap retraction. The episode closes with a listener challenge to develop and test a personal first-five-minutes flow along with a candid confession from Wally about once departing with a rudder gust lock still installed.

Marcus is a magician, an off-Broadway producer, and an en route controller at Houston Center, which is either an unusual resume or a perfectly logical one. To thousands online he's Prop Hat Cat. He opens with the disclaimer (he doesn't speak for the FAA or NATCA), delivers a verdict on traffic management, and lays out the whole machine: tower to TRACON to center to the Command Center in Virginia, which fixes things with a cleaver and hands down playbook routes that every layer below shaves a little finer, until a controller is staring at a route straight through a thunderstorm and thinking exactly what you're thinking. EDCTs, why fog in San Francisco turns into 80 miles in trail, and how to read the arrival demand charts before you plan into a busy field. Plus why modernization takes forever at an agency where repaving a parking lot took seven and a half years, why frequency changes are harder than any controller believes until they sit in the right seat, how two American flights ended up with the same number, how accurate Pushing Tin is (very, especially the relationships), and why nobody else makes this kind of content: "they're not dumb enough to do it."

Bobby and Wally open the episode reflecting on recent experiences at Oshkosh, including social media feedback and a memorable interaction with a young aviation enthusiast whose parents are pilots. They then dive into the main topic of Episode 200, The Flight Before the Flight, stressing that most poor decisions occur during pre-flight preparation rather than in the air. The night-before sequence covers weather outlook briefings using multiple apps and 1-800-WX-BRIEF for human insight, verification of aircraft records especially for older experimental planes with modern avionics like G5 systems, fuel planning with extra margins beyond legal minimums, and self-assessment of fitness including illness or medication effects. On the morning of the flight they recommend re-evaluating forecasts against actual conditions observed outside and applying personal minimums that may differ by aircraft type such as the Saratoga versus a tailwheel. The hosts stress making these steps habitual through a simple card system and the PAVE checklist while inviting listener confessions about past decisions, shared personal minimums, and feedback on what they always check the night before. Wally adds insights from international flying on the importance of sleep management. They close by recommending the AOPA VFR personal minimums sheet and an ALPA Air Safety Institute case study called Fair Weather Flyer.

This sermon on 1 Peter 1 and the Trinity explains the importance of theology and distinguishes between closed-handed (essential) beliefs, which are foundational to salvation, and open-handed (non-essential) beliefs, which allow for differences of interpretation. Focusing on 1 Peter 1:1–2, the message explores the Trinity as one God existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The sermon emphasizes that while the word “Trinity” does not appear explicitly in Scripture, the concept is consistently revealed throughout both the Old and New Testaments, and ultimately must be accepted by faith and grounded in God's Word. The Father is presented as the source of relationship and divine purpose, Jesus Christ as the Son and Savior through whom people come to the Father, and the Holy Spirit as the advocate who lives within believers and enables them to follow Christ. The message traces the Spirit's presence from the Old Testament into the New Testament and highlights Jesus' teaching that the Father, Son, and Spirit work together as the one true God. The sermon concludes by connecting the Trinity to salvation and spiritual transformation: through Christ, believers are brought into relationship with God, born again through the Spirit, given a new heart, and enabled to live according to God's will.

This introductory sermon to 1 Peter presents the letter as a continuation of the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on how believers are to live in light of Christ's resurrection and victory. The message centers on four major themes: the security of salvation, the call to holiness, living as strangers in a hostile world, and maintaining hope through suffering and persecution. Using the life of the Apostle Peter as its primary illustration, the sermon demonstrates that salvation rests entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ rather than human performance, allowing believers to find assurance even in the midst of failure. Peter's transformation—from misunderstanding Jesus, denying Him, and ultimately being restored—shows that God's grace restores those who continually run back to Christ in faith. Because believers have been given a new identity, empowered by the Holy Spirit, they are called to pursue holy living, faithfully represent Christ in a broken and often hostile world, submit to authority with integrity, and endure suffering with hope, knowing that God uses trials to refine His people and strengthen their faith. The sermon concludes by encouraging Christians to live “Kingdom down, not culture up,” trusting in Christ's secure promises and standing firm in the true grace of God regardless of their circumstances.

Todd returns from the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh and turns to a renewed debate over election integrity. He examines reports that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were added to New Jersey's voter rolls through the state's motor-vehicle registration process, including the dispute between state officials and the software vendor over responsibility. Todd argues that the episode is evidence of serious vulnerabilities, challenges critics to address those concerns directly, and distinguishes evidence from conclusive proof. He also responds to changing media arguments about whether improper registrations occur and whether their scale matters. The conversation then moves to the SAVE America Act and its proposed safeguards: documentary proof of citizenship during registration, voter photo identification, and restrictions on mass-mailed ballots while preserving legitimate absentee voting. Drawing on remarks from Senator Mike Lee, Todd urges listeners to press Senate Republicans to act, contending that transparent, consistent safeguards are essential to restoring public confidence in American elections.

Ben is back from AirVenture and still hearing the Fisk arrival in his sleep. Two holds around the lakes, a push all the way back to Puckaway, and made it in on the third time, following an RV toward the runway: "I'm just going where he's going, and I hope they clear us to land." The full Oshkosh debrief: the campsite, the meetup with the APG crew, BK the Oshkosh controller, and the departure lesson every IFR pilot should hear (no slot before Oshkosh means no slot leaving it). Brian counters with the BUCKHD THREE arrival into Atlanta and a real-time weather call when the bad stuff showed up early. Plus a big announcement: a live show recorded at McCollum Field (RYY), with food at Elevation Chophouse after. Tape machine from Ash (flying_wheelies), a plea for written reviews (the stars are great, write the words too), Ray B joins at the Land-O-Matic level, and Dev Cannon logs an hour milestone flying his Navion home from Oshkosh.Mentioned on the show:RYY - Cobb County/McCollum Field: https://www.airnav.com/airport/RYYElevation Chophouse: https://www.elevationatlanta.com/Ascension Aviation, RYY FBO: https://ascensionfbo.com/location/atlanta/Ash aka flying_wheelies: https://instagram.com/@flying_wheeliesBen on Airplane Pilot Guy 716, part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-jPl9NKqOQBUCKHD THREE arrival for Atlanta: https://www.flightaware.com/resources/airport/KCCO/STAR/BUKHD+THREE+(RNAV)The Flying Reporter - Oceanic Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcG48Zvp5uCEOpen Source GA - many Oshkosh videos: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenSourceGA/videos

This sermon, "The Gospel Cannot Be Stopped," concludes the Gospel of Matthew by emphasizing that the resurrection of Jesus demands a personal response and launches the ongoing mission of the Church. Contrasting the religious leaders, who attempted to suppress the truth of the empty tomb through deception, with the disciples, who encountered the risen Christ and were commissioned to proclaim Him, the message argues that the resurrection is an unstoppable reality that no human effort can overcome. Because Jesus has all authority, believers are called to move beyond merely believing in the resurrection to actively making disciples of all nations through evangelism, baptism, teaching, and intentional discipleship. The sermon stresses that every Christian—not just pastors or missionaries—has a role in advancing the gospel, building relationships that help others follow Christ, and continuing the mission that has been passed from generation to generation. It concludes with the encouragement that believers do not carry out this mission alone, but with the authority, presence, and power of the risen Jesus, whose promise to be with His people ensures that the gospel will continue to spread until He returns.

DESCRIPTION: Number 17 in the queue for start. Forty minutes at the hold. Ryan flies in and out of O.R. Tambo every day, and this week FlySafair said the quiet part out loud. Bryan and Ryan are back for the weekly catch up. Ryan reports from the cockpit on what the delay chaos actually looks like from the pointy end, and why the crews feel for the controllers as much as the passengers. Then the question Bryan keeps getting from travellers: is it safe to fly through the Gulf right now? He walks through the EASA travel recommendations and why the final call is always your own risk decision. The guys also get honest about how this podcast is changing. In a world drowning in fake news and AI-generated content, they are going deeper on fewer stories and leaning on a network of real pilots instead of headlines. The ums and ahs stay in. That is the point. Then the good stuff: Dricus dominates Usman and eyes his next fight, the Junior Boks bring home the under 20 World Cup, the SuperBru leaderboard gets a shake up, Hamilton finds form before Hungary, Oshkosh outshines Farnborough, Bryan guests on The Pilots podcast, and a charter pilot shortage plus a Gulf carrier roadshow mean real opportunities for South African pilots.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update, have 3 stories for you this week: a Colorado drone pilot facing federal charges after grounding wildfire aircraft, a possible US ban on imports of some “military-grade” drones, and the National Press Photographers Association pushing back on the FAA's Section 2209 rule. Let's get to it.This week Pilot Institute is in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for EAA AirVenture. If you've never been it's a really cool event with thousands of aircraft on display, air shows, workshops, and Pilot Institute. Greg and the team will be there through Sunday, July 26th, and would love to see you in person. If you're in the area stop by the big pink tent and meet the team. And when you meet Pilot Institute, you don't just leave with memories, no. You'll also be leaving with free Pilot Institute gear and giveaways. Plus, I hear there are fantastic cheese curds and double-fried French fries close by. I have sent a request to Greg to have a BVLOS french fried drone delivery sent all the way back to Arizona, but I am still waiting on that response.Alright, in our first story, A drone pilot in southern Colorado is facing federal charges. On Friday, July 17th, someone flew a drone into the temporary flight restriction over the Aspen Acres Fire near Rye. That fire has burned more than 100,000 acres. It's the largest wildfire currently active in Colorado.In case you don't know, once a drone is detected, every helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft on the fire has to stop flying. However, investigators didn't have to work hard on this one. The pilot posted the flight on social media and The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office used that footage to identify the suspect. Civil penalties can exceed 75,000 dollars. Next up, The FCC announced 2 drone supply chain actions, but the one that matters most for equipment is a new request for public comment. The Commission is asking whether it should prohibit the import, marketing, or sale of certain “military-grade” foreign-made drones already on its Covered List. The categories under consideration include swarming drones, drones designed to carry defense articles, thermal imaging drones, drones with LiDAR sensing, drones capable of dispensing aerosols classified as economic poison under FAA rules, drone docking stations, and any drone weighing 55 pounds or more. Several things would be excluded from any such ban: equipment not on the Covered List, equipment sold for federal government use or for commercial testing and product development, and any drones people already own. Separately, the FCC extended its exceptions for trusted drones, with the Blue UAS and Buy America carve-outs now running through January 1, 2028, and Conditional Approval products losing their expiration date entirely. Comments on the proposed prohibition are due 30 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.The National Press Photographers Association just filed comments on the FAA's proposed Section 2209 rule. This is the rule that lets critical infrastructure sites apply for permanent drone flight restrictions, called UAFRs. The FAA has identified about 125,000 candidate facilities total, and they're expecting around 9,000 applications over the next five years. The NPPA's complaint is simple. As written, these restrictions could last forever, with no expiration date, no public record of why they exist, and no way to challenge one. The comment deadline is August 5th, 2026. Be sure to check out our full discussion of the proposed rule.No post flight this week, but we'll still have a Monday live Q&A with our guest host, Vic Moss. Hope we see you there. Have a good weekend!https://dronexl.co/2026/07/21/drone-pilot-charges-aspen-acres-fire/https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-takes-action-secure-drone-supply-chainhttps://dronexl.co/2026/07/20/nppa-faa-section-2209-drone-rule-press/

This week Ben, Brian, and Ted get into IFR currency: what it actually takes to stay instrument current and ready. Six approaches, holds, tracking and intercepting nav aids, and the clock that never stops running. Foggles versus a safety pilot versus the real thing, why the foggles are "the worst approximation of the instrument experience," and whether an IPC is the smarter move than chasing six approaches every six months. Plus a full tape machine of your voice memos and a whole lot of Oshkosh anticipation.From the tape machine: Ash (flying_wheelies) on flying as a wheelchair pilot and sport pilot in his Paradise P1, and more of your feedback.Mentioned on the show:Brian's THE LONG WAY: https://www.makesmallcorrections.com/Frequency Change Aviation, Nashville: https://frequencychangeaviation.com/EP36 with CFI & flight school owner Jeff Ramsey: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep36-cfi-flight-school-owner-jeff-ramsey-on-how-to/id1591463789?i=1000615289723Ash's Flying Wheelies: https://www.instagram.com/flying_wheeliesParadise P1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_P1_LSAICP Savannah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_SavannahWhen Do You Need An IPC (Boldmethod): https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/regulations/when-do-you-need-an-ipc-instrument-proficiency-check/1DullGeek's "I Can't See the Runway!!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoIQv7IsfCw

This sermon on John 12:1–11 explores Mary's extravagant act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume as a powerful model of true worship. Contrasting Mary's wholehearted devotion with Judas' hypocrisy, the message teaches that genuine worship flows from a heart transformed by gratitude for Christ's saving grace rather than from outward religious actions alone. The sermon emphasizes that understanding the depth of God's forgiveness naturally produces thankfulness, generous sacrifice, and a willingness to worship without concern for cultural expectations or personal reputation. Using examples throughout Scripture, it explains that authentic worship is marked by gratitude, heartfelt devotion, and a life fully surrendered to Christ, extending far beyond singing in church to every aspect of daily living. Believers are challenged to reject empty religiosity, embrace an intimate relationship with Jesus, and live as a “sweet aroma” of Christ wherever they go, recognizing that every action can glorify God. Ultimately, the message concludes that worship is not merely an event or a song but a lifestyle, calling Christians to offer their entire lives as living sacrifices in response to the overwhelming mercy, love, and grace they have received through Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores the often-overlooked story of Joseph of Arimathea, focusing on his transformation from a secret follower of Jesus to a courageous public disciple after Christ's crucifixion. Drawing from all four Gospels, it highlights Joseph's wealth, position on the Jewish high council, and quiet belief in Jesus despite fear of the religious leaders. The message suggests that Joseph's decision to personally request Jesus' body, bury Him in his own tomb, and openly identify with Christ was an act of repentance and faith rather than mere fulfillment of Jewish burial customs or prophecy. The sermon challenges believers to examine whether they, like Joseph, have hidden their faith out of fear or a desire for comfort, while encouraging them to boldly identify with Christ regardless of the cost. It concludes with a call for Christians to publicly live out their faith and an invitation for those who have not yet trusted in Jesus to commit their lives to Him.

A whiskey episode, the non-format format where we catch up, work the live chat, and let it fly. Ted spots a pair of Canadair Super Scoopers fighting fires over Utah and IDs them on ADS-B in about ten seconds. Brian preps a 4:30 a.m. departure for West Texas to end-around a brutal heat dome, Tango 82 for a couple nights, then Marfa. Ted lays out the fatigue math of flying high for smoother air and better fuel burn, and when the oxygen comes out.We read an invite to Ed-Air, a Part 137 ag operation in Southern Indiana with a pilot house, six beds, and an 80-year-old founder. Ben recounts his annual five-mile hike up to the Len Foote Hike Inn near Springer Mountain and the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, 19 miles over a weekend that doubles as Oshkosh training. Version two of the website is live at midlifepilotpodcast.com, with the Midlife Pilot Tape Machine and a VU meter that actually works, so go yell into it.

This sermon centers on the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing the immense love of God displayed through Christ's suffering and sacrifice. It vividly describes the physical and emotional agony Jesus endured on the cross before exploring the deeper spiritual significance of His final words, particularly His declaration, “It is finished.” The sermon explains that the Greek word tetelestai conveys that the debt of sin has been fully paid, the sentence completely served, the work of redemption finished, the perfect sacrifice accepted, and the victory over sin and death won. The supernatural events surrounding Jesus' death—the darkness, the tearing of the temple curtain, the earthquake, and the resurrection of the saints—demonstrate His divine identity and the completion of God's plan of salvation. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and 1 Peter 2, the message contrasts the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament with Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, which permanently atones for sin and provides direct access to God. Ultimately, the sermon reminds listeners that Jesus willingly endured unimaginable suffering because of His great love for humanity, assuring every person of their immense worth and value in God's eyes and inviting them to receive the forgiveness and eternal life made possible through His sacrifice.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026's increased tick concerns, Evelyn's high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus.
