Podcasts about red bull air race

Sam Kekovich and Leon Weigard sit down with Australia's only true Top Gun, Matt Hall, for a wild, funny and genuinely jaw‑dropping conversation. After Sam's chaotic week battling Telstra outages and conspiracy theories, the boys dive into Matt's extraordinary life: from gliding at 14, to becoming the highest‑scoring pilot in RAAF history, to flying F‑15s in combat over Iraq, dodging missiles by centimetres, and eventually becoming a world champion in the Red Bull Air Race.Matt explains supersonic flight, G‑forces, near‑death moments, politics inside Defence, the reality behind Top Gun movies, and why he walked away from a guaranteed military career to chase adrenaline around pylons at 400km/h. He also shares stories from joy‑flights, racing bikes at Phillip Island, and the insane precision required to fly at 2,500km/h.A gripping, hilarious, and deeply human chat with one of Australia's most elite aviators — plus Sam's usual detours into submarines, phone boxes, and Gerry Ryan's wine.

"I had no margin for error. What I added was the respect for fear. I started to listen to my fears and make them my best friends."Ahead of Season 2 returning later in 2023, we're releasing a selection of full-length athlete interviews, uncut with no interruptions. This extended episode is with Italian pilot and aviation pioneer Dario Costa.Dario featured in Series 1, Episode 14, and took us into the cockpit with him on his historic Tunnel Pass flight through two road tunnels, a video which has been seen by millions. As he explains to host Kate Courtney, it was a 44-second flight which took him out of his comfort zone like never before. In this uncut episode, Dario reveals more about his Red Bull Air Race career, and offers further insight on just how he embraced his fears and pushed his limits to make aviation history.

A proposal to host a leg of the Air Race World Championship series in the Wheatbelt later this year has stalled after the WA government baulked at the $2 million funding request from the Northam shire. Shire president Chris Antonio said the global series, once known as the Red Bull Air Race that Perth hosted in the 2000s, would have attracted 50,000 spectators to the proposed event site at Northam Racecourse. "Our town is always looking for air events, we have a history of them here," he told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker, in reference to several world ballooning championships the town holds. "It would probably bring $10 million to the state, once people are here, they will visit other parts of the state - the return on investment would be fantastic, not only for us but every other region and a lot of metro areas as well."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this short episode, Alex expands on the concept of perseverance and resilience. In episode #74 of the podcast, Alex spoke with Yoshi Muroya, the 2016 Red Bull Air Race World Champion. During that conversation, Yoshi explain how difficult it was to obtain the first sponsorship for and aerobatic aircraft in Japan. The had been no previous reference to airshows and Yoshi was attempting to start the ball rolling, but couldn't afford to operate the aircraft on his own.After more than 2000 rejections, he managed to land a sponsor, which later developed into the Red Bull Air Race in the Far East. The tenacity required to hear so many no's and still try again the next day is amazing. We don't often realise how much effort is required to achieve some of our lofty goals.If you have great ambitions for your life, you need to dig really deep. You will need a lot of perseverance, tenacity, skill and a good dose of luck too. I wish you all the best!Enjoy!Yoshi Muroyahttps://www.yoshi-muroya.jp/en/https://www.instagram.com/yoshi_muroyaGet in touch with Alex: alex@alexmacphail.co.zahttps://twitter.com/AlexMacPhail1https://www.linkedin.com/in/flyingmogulwww.alexmacphail.co.za

Ti mette davvero le ali? Negli ultimi 30 anni Red Bull si è trasformata da bevanda energetica sconosciuta, esotica e dal sapore strano in uno dei brand più potenti e influenti al mondo che ora vale circa 17,4 MILIARDI di dollari. Con una miriade di squadre sportive professionistiche che vanno dalle corse di F1 alla Nascar, dalla vela al calcio, dallo skateboard al surf, oltre a eventi come la Red Bull Air Race, il surf e la mountain bike, essendosi così di fatto posizionati nell' epicentro del settore degli sport estremi. La cosa più interessante però è come l'hanno fatto e come continuano a dominare il mercato oggi con un marketing che non sembra marketing, pubblicità che non sembra pubblicità, come hanno creato un brand amato a livello globale che ha plasmato e ha influenzato la nostra cultura in tanti modi diversi. E ancora, come sono riusciti a vendere quasi 10 miliardi di lattine di Red Bull ogni anno senza mai (o quasi) menzionare il loro prodotto nelle campagne pubblicitarie. Quindi, lascia che ti mostri come hanno fatto in questo episodio estratto dal mio video youtube: https://youtu.be/j0edBoJB_yQ

La comunidad simulera siempre ha sido muy activa. Pero en la primera década del siglo XXI fue especialmente activa, logrando incluso que la federación aérea catalana reconociera la simulación aére, bajo según que condiciones, como deporte aéreo. Había varias categorías que, hoy día, serían consideradas sin lugar a dudas eSports: justas uno contra uno en combate aéreo singular, carreras de velocidad, circuitos de habilidad, rally aéreo… Incluso se celebró la Red Bull Air Race virtual, patrocinada por Red Bull. Y traemos a dos de las personas que lo hicieron posible para recordarlo. En el blog, además, os dejaremos algunos vídeos para que podáis ver cómo eran algunas de estas competiciones. pd: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda. En un ejercicio de nostalgia podcasteril he hablado con Javier Lago para pedirle permiso y utlizar la introducción que hizo para el que, si no recuerdo mal, fue el primer podcast español sobre aviación: Remove Before Flight RBF podcast.

Hello friends, and welcome back to another episode of the festivalPass Stories podcast! Our host Pat Tully sits down with another fascinating guest that has been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. It is our honor to introduce award-winning producer Chris Homsley.  Television is one of the toughest trades to break into. Largely, it requires education, experience, strong connections, and technical and creative abilities. Even if you possess all those things, a run of good luck doesn't hurt either. Coming from a theatre background from Auburn University with ties in music, Chris knew that he wanted to be behind the scenes on large productions. With a BA in Mass Communications from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and having played in a few garage bands himself, Chris finally got the moment to prove himself doing audio production for a smaller network. His work ethic allowed him to rise in the tv production ranks, and it wasn't long before he was given the responsibility to produce his own projects.  Director Robert Rodriguez once said, “when given the opportunity, deliver excellence and never quit.” You can say that this is the driving force behind Chris Homsley's impressive production career. What started with sound production, became being the Senior Production Coordinator for the iconic Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games in 2002. Chris was assigned the responsibility of managing the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the games that year; the first international event since 9/11 at the time. Two years later, he was hired to be the Deputy Director of Operations for the opening and closing ceremonies for the Athens Summer Games. The Salt Lake Winter Olympics went on to win seven Emmy Awards.  Speaking of awards, Chris's trophy case should be pretty full at this point. He's a multiple Emmy award winner; two of which come from his astonishing work with the Red Bull Air Race, which he produced for three years. And he has also captured not one, but three Themed Entertainment Association Awards. Chris has also worked on the Overwatch World Cup, the Crane Dance at Resort World Sentosa in Singapore, and done productions for ESPN, HBO, and Nascar. After all this, Chris hopes to work on a music festival one day. Pat actually breaks some huge FPS news that Chris is currently open for a new project right now.   “It took somebody to come along and say the work that you are doing measures up quality-wise with everything else that's competing in this particular category. So, there are ways to win Emmys without being the star of the show.” - Chris Homsley    Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories   You can find Chris on: Chris Homsley's Website: https://chomsley.wixsite.com/projects    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrishomsley/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chomsley/    Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrishomsley1   Connect with Festival Pass!

El cuarto capítulo de Aerovía continúa analizando el impacto de la crisis del coronavirus en la aviación y, en esta ocasión, pone bajo la lupa al que es, posiblemente, el sector más frágil de esta industria en España: la aviación general y deportiva. ¿Conseguirá sobreponerse a la paralización de la actividad que ha ocasionado la pandemia? Carlos Jiménez, representante del Real Aero Club de España (RACE), aborda el momento crítico que vive la aviación general y deportiva en España, así como todos los frentes (enumerados en este documento) que el sector tiene abiertos con las principales instituciones aeronáuticas del país. En este capítulo también tocamos la puerta de dos de las grandes figuras de la aviación deportiva de España. Por un lado, charlamos con Cástor Fantoba, piloto del equipo Unlimited Aerobatics y subcampeón del mundo de vuelo acrobático freestyle el año pasado, quien nos traslada sus sensaciones después de regresar a los entrenamientos y nos habla de sus nuevos proyectos, la primera temporada de sus Hangar Chats y el curso de UPRT que ha puesto en marcha en alianza con Dares Aviación, con cuyo socio fundador, Sergio Stella, también conversamos. Por otro, dialogamos con Juan Velarde, que fue el único representante español en la desaparecida Red Bull Air Race entre 2014 y 2019, quien nos explica de qué forma ha afectado esta pandemia a sus planes de competición y también qué sintió cuando, como comandante de Iberia, participó en uno de los vuelos de repatriación de españoles en marzo. En la recta final de este capítulo de récord, repasamos la retirada por parte de Delta de sus últimos MD-88 y MD-90, y nos interesamos por las dos compañías que han recogido el testigo de la aerolínea de Atlanta y se han convertido en las mayores operadoras mundiales del Mad Dog: la venezolana Laser Airlines y la mexicana Aeronaves TSM. Además, escuchamos el testimonio de Gabriel Richmond, comandante de MD-83 en la argentina Andes Líneas Aéreas, que nos explica por qué el Mad Dog es un avión tan popular en la industria. No te pierdas el capítulo 4 de Aerovía: ‘¿Cómo está afectando la pandemia a la aviación general y deportiva?'.

F1 fan Ben, former commander of the world famous Red Arrows, discusses the importance of never giving up when aiming for your dream career. Mark debates the intensity of the new F1 season, why the Austrian GP is the perfect location for the opening race, former Red Bull Racing team mate Sebastian Vettel's exit from Ferrari and why Lewis Hamilton remains the most formidable force in F1. A usual Mark is straight talking and insightful, taking the time to explain his own fascination with flying and why managing risk is all part of living life to the full.
