In September 1920, Captain Percy Snell thrilled Brisbane by performing aviation stunts in a biplane right over the centre of the city. Forgotten today, this fearless flier was a man of many adventures, including heroics and possible crimes in the Great War. Back home, when not entertaining the future King of England, Percy was piloting a state premier on an aerial election campaign tour that ended in what may have been Australia's first political assassination attempt.It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

In this episode of Behind the Prop, hosts Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhern welcome Mark Patey — entrepreneur, aviator, and co-founder of Best Tugs and Best Aviation Products — for a powerful conversation on aviation innovation, safety, and personal growth. With over 12,000 flight hours and nearly three decades of flying experience, Mark shares how his passion for engineering and aviation led to building products that offer twice the value for only 10–20% more cost, creating a winning formula for pilots who prioritize both performance and safety. His companies now have 47 new aviation products under development, each designed to make flying more efficient, safer, and more enjoyable.Beyond business, Mark opens up about his transformation from the thrill-seeking days of the “Flying Cowboys” to becoming a safety advocate focused on humility and honesty. He reflects on how earlier flying videos showcasing aggressive backcountry flying unintentionally encouraged risk-taking, and how experience — along with age and perspective — taught him the true meaning of responsible flying. Mark emphasizes that proficiency and preparation make the difference between danger and mastery, comparing backcountry flying to instrument flying: both can be safe or deadly, depending on skill and mindset.The discussion also explores the growing issue of negativity in online aviation communities, where misinformation and quick judgments often drown out real learning opportunities. Mark and the hosts discuss the need for empathy, understanding, and constructive dialogue among pilots. In response to the fear and stigma surrounding mistakes, Mark introduces his vision for a “Pilot Confessional” podcast, where aviators can anonymously share near-miss experiences and lessons learned — helping others avoid similar situations without fear of backlash or violation.In a heartfelt conclusion, Mark reveals how a near-death medical experience reshaped his outlook on life and aviation. No longer chasing records or recognition, he now prioritizes peace, longevity, and family. His message to the aviation community is clear: be honest about your skills, stay humble, and fly for the love of life — not the thrill of risk.
There are chocolates in the studio this week — albeit ones that were initially destined for our editor Darren, but let's gloss over that, shall we? In addition to raising our blood sugar levels while doing this week's show, we take a look at the harrowing true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment in Iran with Prisoner 951 on BBC1 (43:45), see if Sherlock's assistant can make it without the man himself in Watson on Sky Witness (54:35), and catch up with newly minted national treasure Alan Carr in the third series of Changing Ends on ITV (1:03:59).(Episode 364)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

If You're a Pilot or ATC Struggling Right NowYou're not alone. This episode is for you. There are people fighting to make it safe to get help without sacrificing your identity and your career.“It's going to be faster and easier for us to change federal law than it is for a pilot to get certified with minor to moderate mental health issues.”In this powerful conversation, Ramos Law Director of Aviation Joseph LoRusso sits down with Chris Finlayson, United Airlines A320 pilot and Executive Director of the Pilot Mental Health Campaign (PMHC), to talk about one of aviation's biggest open secrets: pilots and air traffic controllers are afraid to seek mental health care.They break down:- Why so many pilots wait until they're in crisis before getting help- How FAA medical rules and the 8500 form create a “catch-22” that can turn honesty into a felony- The Mental Health and Aviation Act and Aviation Medication Transparency Act. What they actually do and why they matter- The shocking reality that it was faster to move a bill through the U.S. House than for one pilot to get FAA-certified on treatment- The human cost: long COVID, anxiety, depression, divorce, burnout, and crashes in an industry built on professionalism and safety- Why untreated mental health is a bigger safety risk than allowing pilots to proactively seek care- How pilots, ATC, and the FAA can move from fear and silence to partnership and transparency
In this time-sensitive episode, Certified Financial Planner™ and GA pilot Tim Pope unpacks the new Market-Based Cash Balance Plan (MBCBP) for American Airlines pilots ahead of the December 15 opt-in deadline. He explains how the plan captures NEC spillover beyond 401(k) limits, who qualifies, and how it differs from other carriers.What You'll Learn from This EpisodePlan Basics: How the MBCBP captures NEC spillover when 401(k) limits are hit—by percentage caps or dollar thresholds.Spill Cash Thresholds: When to expect spill cash based on whether you max your 401(k) (key earnings markers: $264k vs. $360k).3-Year Election Window: How American's election differs from Delta, United, and Southwest—and offers added flexibility.Planning Flexibility: When opting out or in may make sense.Investment Gaps: Why lack of allocation transparency can hinder holistic planning with outside advisors.401(k) vs. MBCBP: Key differences in investment control, Roth conversion flexibility, and contribution mechanics.Creditor & Beneficiary Rules: Features that are consistent between this plan and your 401(k).Roth Strategy Fit: How the MBCBP can indirectly support Roth conversions by freeing up tax-free shelf-space elsewhere.Use Case Thinking: This plan isn't good or bad—it's a tool that must align with your financial phase.Deadline Reminder: Election closes December 15, 2025—locked in (or out) for three years.Resources:Schedule An AppointmentOur Practice's WebsiteSend Us Your Questions: info@pilotsportfolio.comThis episode is sponsored by: Beacon RelocationBeacon Relocation is a real estate firm helping pilots and air traffic controllers save money on their real estate transactions.

Air New Zealand is considering banning portable power banks on flights, after a string of fires linked to the devices. Pilot and aviation commentator Vaughn Davis spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
In this St Emlyn's podcast, Ian Beardsell and Simon Carley speak with RAF GP Phil Lucas from the Royal Air Force Centre of Aerospace Medicine at the BASICS conference in Leicestershire. They explore what really happens when a pilot pulls the ejection handle, and what this means for pre-hospital and Emergency Department teams who may be the first to see an ejectee. Phil explains: • Why the aviation environment is so hostile to humans and how aerospace medicine supports aircrew • How modern ejection seats work – from canopy jettison and rocket firing to parachute deployment and landing • The decision making required to eject in a matter of seconds, and how pilots are trained to be “mentally ready” • Typical injury patterns after ejection, how technology has reduced spinal compression injuries, and where the remaining risks lie • Practical considerations for ED and pre-hospital teams when a pilot presents after ejection, including spinal precautions and safe removal of flight equipment • The psychological impact of surviving a crash or ejection, how support needs can change over months, and what helps people return to flying • Aviation medicine as a career path, including the role of the RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine, the diploma in aviation medicine, and how this can sit alongside general practice or emergency care This conversation draws strong parallels between aviation and emergency medicine: human factors, training under pressure, using simulation and mental rehearsal, and the importance of honest, individualised psychological support after critical incidents.

Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers
If you're not transforming, you're getting left behind. That reality makes transformation anything but presto change; it's a mindset shift, sustained motion, and a clear "why" your people can see themselves in. To turn that into visible progress while keeping the ship pointed at a destination the business recognizes, Drew brings together Chris Pieper (ADP), Putney Cloos (Bombora), and David Levy (Foundever) to share how each leads transformation across differently scaled organizations. From making progress visible to earning belief across the org and sustaining momentum through the messy middle, they show how change takes hold. In this episode: Chris pilots with sales champions, proves pipeline impact, and turns small wins into momentum. Putney makes the case for change, maps "scrappy to industrial strength" milestones, and scales what works. David runs parallel lanes to protect the core while building the future, aligning his org to work ambidextrously. Plus: How to make progress visible with simple roadmaps and real milestones. How pilots, quick wins, and pipeline proof bring sales along. Why stopping low-value work frees resources for what matters. What to hire for in ambiguity: people who try new things and move fast. Tune in if you are steering big change and want practical ways to show progress, win belief, and keep momentum through the messy middle.

Niamey is 500 miles north of the Atlantic Ocean (leap-frogging Benin) Niamey is in the south Sahara, 1500 miles from the Mediterranean and 2100 miles from Cairo Niger is about twice the size of Texas, 3x the size of California, and virtually the same as Peru Niamey has about a million people, and Niger as a whole 25 million Niger has both the highest birthrate in the world at 6.5, but also the highest infant mortality rate The child mortality rate (child deaths before age 5) is between 80 and 250 per 1,000 (1 in 4) Niger is such a basketcase that even China has trouble getting them to cooperate, despite throwing hundreds of millions (billions, really) of dollars their way!

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Raytheon, ritual abuse, MK ULTRA mind control, and Secret Space Program survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, targeted individual, loving mother, nature lover, former Maine journalist and reporter, published writer and author, podcaster and podcast host of her own YouTube channel, flower essence and herbal extraordinaire, remote viewer, psychic and shaman, Family Court reform activist, and an amazing woman risking it all to blind the darkness with her light: Jane HatchIn the shadowed corridors of America's "Technology Highway”, where gleaming industrial parks masked deep underground horrors, Jane was forged in fire. Born into a bloodline laced with Pleiadian DNA and Nazi-collaborator shadows, Jane's destiny ignited before she drew her first breath. Her mother, a luminous Canadian immigrant with dual birth certificates (one German, one veiled), channeled Atlantean memories, spoke to plants, and prophesied UFOs amid the 1960s New England craze. Her father, a college graduate turned Raytheon salesman, ascended from middle-class to yacht-club elite after it's believed he signed a clandestine contract that traded his Jane for wealth and power.At age 4 (or possibly earlier), Jane's abductions began. White vans prowled Hanover, Massachusetts' South Shore, snatching gifted children under guises like "Boston Pops field trips." Jane vanished from school - entire years erased, classmates recalling her presence for mere days. Physically hauled or "20-and-backed," she endured Raytheon's subterranean lairs beneath Needham's pristine suburbs. Electrodes split her psyche into altars; and waterboarding fractured her further. In the Secret Space Program, in sterile white facilities, she served as an intuitive navigator, her trauma-forged psionics propelling UFO motherships.Jane fled at 16, but the "aftercare" intensified: she has been targeted individual since her youth. Directed energy weapons, satellites, Voice-to-Skull, gangstalking, curses, demons, poison, accidents, homelessness, and poverty have plagued her ever since. In Maine, whistleblowing Bath Iron Works corruption blacklisted her professional journalism career. Then corrupt family court "tried her as a witch" for prophetic dreams and exposing Bath Iron Works. Her three gifted and previous daughters were seized, handed to a psychopathic stepmother and likely subjected to the same MK ULTRA tortures Jane did everything in her power to keep them free from.CONNECT WITH JANE: -For consultations, to set up an appointment, or to purchase a book people can text Jane at 774-212-2768 or email lovenewearth@tutanota.com or redfoxruns1@gmail.com-Donate to Jane: Zelle at 774-212-2769-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Websites: https://bethesdastar.com/about-me/ & https://www.radiantearthmother.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherinSupport the show
In this episode of Aviation News Talk, we begin with the developing details Weather accidents in general aviation often happen to pilots who genuinely believe they're cautious about flying in marginal conditions. But when you look closely at the chain of decisions that lead up to VFR-into-IMC crashes, a consistent pattern emerges—fatigue, long flights, pressure to complete a trip, weakening visibility, and the belief that "I can stay just under this." In Episode 404 of Aviation News Talk, Max Trescott unpacks a tragic example of this pattern and shows how NTSB data helps explain why GA pilots continue to stumble into weather accidents. Max begins with a detailed look at a 2023 crash involving a Piper Archer, N21480, flown by a 66-year-old private pilot who was en route from Maine to Sun 'n Fun. The pilot had made this long trip multiple times before and was familiar with the route. He departed Maine, stopped twice for fuel, and ended the day by sleeping on a couch in a pilot lounge—after ordering Uber Eats at around 8 p.m. According to his wife, the pilot routinely camped at airports, carried sleeping gear and guitars, and prided himself on being cautious about weather. The next morning, however, the signs of fatigue were visible. An airport employee who spoke with the pilot noted he looked tired and "could see the fatigue in his eyes." Despite checking weather and considering waiting out an approaching system, the pilot ultimately chose to depart. He told ATC he wanted to remain low—around 1,600 feet—to stay VFR under the cloud layer. Unfortunately, this strategy is one of the most dangerous choices a VFR pilot can make. Staying low reduces options, shrinks reaction time, and increases the likelihood of inadvertently entering IMC. Eight minutes after informing ATC he wanted to stay low to maintain VFR, the pilot's track shows the airplane turning right and descending. When the controller asked if he was maneuvering to stay below the clouds, the pilot replied: "Mayday, mayday, in the clouds, I'm going down." Witnesses described the airplane descending nearly straight down. The NTSB report revealed worsening weather, nearby convective activity, cloud bases around 1,300 feet AGL, and an overcast layer with tops near 3,500 feet. The pilot had passed an airport less than two miles before the crash—an airport he may have been trying to return to during his final 360-degree turn. But like many non-instrument-rated pilots who enter IMC unintentionally, he lost control within about a minute, consistent with studies showing that VFR pilots often lose control within three minutes of entering clouds. Max then connects this accident to a broader NTSB study, Risk Factors Associated with Weather-Related General Aviation Accidents (SS-05/01). This landmark analysis compared 72 weather-related accidents with 135 non-accident flights occurring nearby at the same time. The goal was to uncover what differentiates pilots who get into trouble from those who do not. The results were eye-opening. The most significant predictor was the age at which a pilot earned their first certificate, not their age at the time of the accident. Pilots who learned to fly at age 25 or younger had the lowest risk. Those who trained between 25 and 35 had a 4.5-times higher risk, between 35 and 45 had a 4.8-times higher risk, and pilots who started at 45 or older had a 3.4-times higher risk. The South Carolina pilot earned his certificate at around age 49. Another major factor was lack of an instrument rating. Non-instrument-rated pilots had a 4.8-times greater likelihood of a weather accident. Long flights were also a major contributor: legs of 300 miles or more sharply increased risk. Pilots involved in accidents were less likely to have obtained thorough weather briefings and more likely to have had previous incidents or accidents. One of the most striking findings concerned written and checkride performance. Accident pilots had cumulative pass rates averaging 84–86%, while non-accident pilots averaged around 95%. Some accident pilots had multiple failed checkrides, including one commuter pilot who had failed nine practical tests. The study concluded that stronger written and checkride performance was statistically linked to lower accident involvement. From there, Max shifts to what pilots can do differently, starting with awareness. Humans are poor at detecting gradual reductions in visibility—the "frog in warm water" problem. Max describes an early flight to Massachusetts where visibility slowly degraded from 25 miles to around 10 miles, yet he didn't notice until the change became obvious. To counter this, he recommends periodically estimating visibility in flight using runway lengths, moving-map distances, landmarks, and horizon clarity. Max also teaches a simple method for estimating cloud clearance using a 45-degree reference point on the cloud base. By timing how long it takes to reach the point beneath the cloud and using your groundspeed, you can determine if you're maintaining the required 500-foot clearance. The same geometry works for estimating horizontal cloud distance. Finally, Max emphasizes fatigue and decision-making. After nearly 10 hours of flying the day before, poor sleep on a couch, and an early morning departure, the pilot in the accident was not at peak performance. Nutrition also matters—low glucose levels degrade decision-making. Max stresses the need to set clear weather trigger points before departure, brief passengers on them, and stick to the plan. For any pilot who flies VFR, especially on long cross-country trips, this episode highlights why VFR-into-IMC accidents still happen—and how to stay VFR by using better judgment, better tools, and objective visibility cues.
