Micael Johansson om vad Europas upprustning betyder för Saab, om den transatlantiska länken och om att sälja vapen till en diktatur. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Sedan Rysslands storskaliga invasion av Ukraina har efterfrågan på försvarskoncernen Saabs krigsmateriel vuxit kraftigt. Saab har ökat i produktion och personal och försäljningen har stigit till rekordnivåer. Micael Johansson har varit vd för Saab sedan 2005 och arbetat inom företaget i snart 40 år. ”De tre, fyra senaste åren är ju ingenting som går att likna med de första 36, om jag säger så. Det har ju varit ett enormt uppvaknande i många länder. Man behöver faktiskt satsa pengar för att skapa avskräckning och försvar, att man får leva på det sättet man vill och skydda sitt land”, säger Micael Johansson.Teknikutvecklingen för krigsmateriel går snabbt, inte minst med hjälp av AI. Micael Johansson tycker att reglerna för upphandling av materiel behöver anpassas efter den snabba teknikutvecklingen, och att staten ska kunna upphandla en förmåga snarare än en viss produkt. ”Jag tror att vi måste se över upphandlingsregler och man måste se över modellen för hur man gör affären. Jag ser framför mig mer en prenumerationsmodell, ett abonnemang på en förmåga som hela tiden utvecklas”, säger Micael Johansson. Inte orolig för relationen till USASaab har ett nära samarbete med amerikanska företag, exempelvis kommer runt hälften av komponenterna i Jas Gripen från USA. Saab säljer också materiel till USA och har egen tillverkning i landet. Micael Johansson säger att han inte är orolig för samarbetet med USA – trots president Trumps handelskrig och uttalanden om att USA inte längre ska försvara Europa.”Den transatlantiska länken är väldigt viktig. Vi har väldigt bra relationer med amerikansk industri. Vi finns etablerade i USA, betraktas som ett lokalt amerikanskt företag i USA. Vi står för stora viktiga delar i deras försvarsförmåga. Så den här länken hoppas jag verkligen kommer att fortsätta vara stark. Men det är inget snack om att vi måste ta ett mycket större ansvar i Europa”, säger Micael Johansson.Många av dina resonemang bygger på att gällande avtal gäller. Att påskrivna kontrakt gäller. Trump-administrationen har inte alltid visat respekt för rättsprinciper. Hur säker kan du vara på att påskrivna kontrakt gäller? ”Jag måste utgå från att systemet fungerar och att gällande kontrakt gäller. Det finns samarbetsavtal på försvarsområdet mellan Sverige och USA som är starka. Vi har starka avtal med amerikansk industri. Jag kan inte se att de skulle plötsligt rivas upp. För då har man förstört allt som heter regelbaserad världsordning, jag har svårt att se att det skulle hända”, säger Micael Johansson.Sälja vapen till diktaturerUnder förra året var Förenade Arabemiraten det största exportlandet av svenskt krigsmateriel enligt Inspektionen för strategiska produkter, ISP. Orsaken är att landet köpte två luftburna radarsystem, Global Eye, av Saab till ett värde av drygt sex miljarder kronor. Hur försvarar Micael Johansson att Saab säljer krigsmateriel till en diktatur som systematiskt bryter mot mänskliga rättigheter?”I grunden måste man förhålla sig till en FN-konvention, att alla har rätt att försvara sig och alla har rätt att ha ett försvar. Sen får man bedöma utifrån ett utrikespolitiskt perspektiv vilka länder vi ska kunna samarbeta med. Det värderas via myndigheten ISP med ett antal kriterier för om vi ska exportera till det här landet. Men i grunden handlar det om en viktig sak. Om det stöttar svensk förmåga att ha egen förmåga i vårt land genom att vi exporterar, så väger det väldigt tungt. I det här fallet handlar det främst om Global Eye som är ett övervakningssystem som Sverige sen har en möjlighet att just nu få upphandla och använda i ett nordiskt och ett NATO-perspektiv som vi annars inte hade haft”, säger Micael Johansson.Gäst: Micael Johansson, vd för Saab Programledare: Johar Bendjelloul Kommentar: Mats ErikssonProducent: Maja LagercrantzTekniker: Fredrika BruniusIntervjun spelades in fredag den 9 maj 2025.

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is best described as... Porsche-great. This week we're doing a deep dive into Ford's funky sedan of the 1980s: the Sierra, together with its American identical cousin, the Merkur XR4Ti. In the early 1980s, Ford of Europe (and chairman Bob Lutz) was on a mission to get a piece of the export pie that was dominated by Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. The car they conjured up to do so, the Sierra, was a massive success in Europe. When it eventually made it to the U.S., badged as a Merkur XR4Ti, Lutz's plan to sell the cars to yuppies via independent niche dealers was foiled, and the car was placed on Lincoln-Mercury dealer lots alongside big American barges and clueless salesmen, only to die a slow death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, the extra-spicy Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was born. In fact, the car was so sought-after (i.e. stolen) by British hooligans that insurance companies refused to cover them. And it was so fast it was repeatedly banned from racing, eventually effectively spelling the end for Group A racing. Ford of Europe (headed up by Bob Lutz) was seeing the likes of BMW and Audi making a killing with their U.S. exports and Ford wanted in. The plan was to try something different, and rather than a Ford-branded import program where Sierras would be sold alongside LTDs, Cougars and other giant American sedans, Bob wanted to do a Ford of Europe export scheme where their new car could be sold alongside other European curios like Saabs and Volvos at independent dealers under a new brand name. They settled on Merkur (the German word for mercury – pronounced “maercoor”), but they also needed a new model name as Sierra was trademarked by Oldsmobile (think: Cutlass Ciera.) Ford used the “XR” prefix to denote a variety of upgraded model trims followed by a number which corresponded to the vehicle size – which is where XR4 comes from. Add abbreviations for “turbo” and “injection” and you're off to the races! Both the Merkur and Sierra RS Cosworth were powered by versions of Ford's Pinto 4-cylinder motor. The Merkur engine could also be found in the USDM Mercury Cougar XR7, Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, and Mustang SVO. Across the pond however, the Sierra engine went to Cosworth to get an aluminum head with an extra cam. The results were clear: the XR4Ti's motor needed 13 lbs of boost to pump out 175 hp, while the Cosworth version only needed 8 psi to make 200 hp. But the Cosworth got a whole host of additional modifications beyond the engine, and the resulting package was so exceptional it wound up getting banned from racing repeatedly, until eventually the regs shut down the entire series. The chassis is so exceptional that Jason proclaims it the best sedan chassis he's ever experienced – on the same level as a Porsche Cayman GT4. Transcendent. A 9.9/10. Where "Beatrice," his extensively modified E30, only managed a mid-8 (for the same reasons that caused Sreten at M539 Restoration to drive his into a tree). The likes of the Lotus Carlton didn't even garner a 5 from either Carmudgeon. Honorable mentions go to the Maserati Quattroporte, C126 560SEC, and a handful of M products. We'll even dive into every generation of M5 – E28 through G90. Lastly, we'll learn about 80s and 90s Lexus dealership brutalism, that “light” means window, our friend Mike's transient collection of eclectic cars has graced the show at least 3 times (thanks, Mike!), superbly compliant AWD cars like the Delta Integrale and Subaru WRX are good but rarely fun, and Bob Lutz had to fight tooth and nail to get a Chevrolet dealership in NorCal to sell him a Corvair Monza.

För tre och ett halvt år sedan arbetade båda två på Säpo och medverkade i det avsnitt av podden Sveriges säkerhetschefer som har haft absolut flest lyssnare genom åren. Då sade Kennet Alexandersson och Åsa Ahl att de tyckte att det var både roligt och stimulerande att jobba på Säpo men nu är de på helt andra arbetsplatser; Kennet på SAAB och Åsa på Scania. Vad hände? Varför lämnade de Säpo och vad gör de i dag?   Den 3 augusti 2021 släpptes det nionde avsnittet av podden Sveriges säkerhetschefer. Det var pandemi och inspelningen fick ske i två studios. Då arbetade Kennet Alexandersson och Åsa Ahl på Säpo och berättade om sina arbeten, sin arbetsplats, säkerhetsskydd och spionage – och det blev det absolut mest nedladdade avsnittet hittills.   Nu har vi samlat dem igen, denna gång i samma studio. Kennet Alexandersson är i dag chef för en analyssektion på SAABs koncernsäkerhetsavdelning och arbetar framför allt med analysdriven säkerhet, medan Åsa Ahl arbetar som Protective Security Manager på Scanias koncernsäkerhetsavdelning.   Här berättar de att de lämnade Säpo eftersom de ville testa att arbeta utanför staten och att de var nyfikna på näringslivet. Kennet trodde kanske att steget skulle vara större än han upplever att det är, medan Åsa känner att resan från statlig och lagbunden verksamhet till en koncern som inte omfattas av säkerhetsskydd har varit lite av en utmaning.   De känner däremot att de har stor nytta av sina tidigare erfarenheter när de nu är verksamma i två stora, internationella koncerner med verksamheter som är uppenbart intressanta för utländska intressen och där risken för spionage är tämligen påtaglig.  SAAB består av fyra affärsområden (Surveillance, Kockums, Aeronautics och Dynamics) och det fristående dotterbolaget Combitech. Koncernern har 23 000 medarbetare. Scania är en av världens största lastbils- och busstillverkare med säte i Södertälje och verksamhet i över 100 länder. Det handlar om 58 000 medarbetare globalt, 25 000 i Sverige och 17 000 i Södertälje.   Kennets drivkraft är nyfikenhet och att gräva och kolla under stenar medan Åsa, som både är driven och nyfiken, lever efter mottot ”hur svårt kan det vara?” Här beskriver de hur de omvärldsbevakar och samverkar. De är båda övertygade om – precis som 2021 – att säkerhet är ett tillsammansarbete och att samverkan mellan stat och näringsliv måste utvecklas för att skapa en nationell robusthet på riktigt.

Martin Smedjeback ägnar all sin tid åt klimatet och djurrättsaktivism. Han håller föredrag och håller utbildningar i ickevåld-och använder själv ofta civil olydnad i sin kamp för en bättre värld. I hela tio år har han varit aktivist på heltid genom projektet ett år för djuren och jorden. Du kan läsa mer om detta på bloggen https://www.xn--ettrfrdjuren-vcb4v.se/ Martin har varit ordförande för Kristna studentrörelsen i Sverige och var anställd på Kristna Fredsrörelsen i sju år, men är idag ateist. I oktober 2008 hamrade och rispade han, som aktivist i det antimilitaristiska nätverket Ofog, på 14 Carl Gustaf granatgevär som en del av kampanjen Avrusta. För detta dömdes han till fyra månaders fängelse. I mars 2009 greps han tillsammans med Annika Spalde och Pelle Strindlund från Ofog när de var på väg in i en av Saabs hangarer i Linköping för att där hamra på Jasplan avsedda för export. Domen blev fem månaders fängelse. Martin var också med och startade djurrättsgruppen Tomma burar som har utfört så kallade öppna djurfritagniningar i Sverige. För fyra av dessa aktioner har han avtjänat två fängelsestraff på vardera en månad. Han är sedan 2017 ordförande i föreningen Save Movement Sverige 2010: fick han Ickevåldspriset och 2014: Martin Luther King-priset Martin driver också Aktivismpodden.

I podden Sveriges säkerhetschefer möter vi landets säkerhetschefer för att belysa yrkesrollen nu och framöver. Den här gången fortsätter vi med försvarsinriktningen och möter Annika Liljemark, koncernsäkerhetschef på SAAB, som är i en stark tillväxtfas. Nyfikenhet, närhet och nätverk. Det är tre viktiga ledord för Annika Liljemark, koncernsäkerhetschef på SAAB med funktionellt ansvar att leda säkerheten i hela koncernen globalt tillika linjechef för koncernstabsfunktionen, Group Security, och säkerhetsskyddschef för SAAB AB. SAABs vision är allas människors rätt att känna trygghet, något som inte bara hela bolaget bottnar i, utan även Annika själv. Hon berättar att hon känner sig stolt över sitt arbete men framför allt bolagets arbete i stort. SAAB verkar i 100 länder och har ungefär 22 000 anställda men är också i en tillväxtfas. Verksamheten omfattar allt från stridsflygplan till u-båtar och rymdresor. I fjol landade omsättningen på 51 miljarder kronor. Bolaget består av de fyra områdena Aeronautics, Dynamics, Surveillance och Kockums. Säkerhetsorganisationen består av en central organisation, fyra arbetsområden med egna säkerhetsfunktioner och verksamhet i ett antal länder varav vissa har egna säkerhetsfunktioner. Annika Liljemark har arbetat på SAAB i 10 år, efter totalt 23 år inom polisen, varav 17 på olika positioner på Säpo. Det mest stimulerande i det nuvarande arbetet tycker hon är att det händer saker hela tiden i den starkt reglerade branschen, som har både hög och allvarlig hotbild. Hon beskriver arbetet som ”svårt, utmanande, roligt och stimulerande” och vill arbeta proaktivt och analysdrivet och gärna med nulägesbilder för att skapa bör-bilder.

Vapen med artificiell intelligens, AI, kan förändra framtidens krig. Men kritiker kallar vapnen mördarrobotar och kräver förbud. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Hösten 2023 köper det svenska storbolaget Saab två företag, som använder AI i militära system. Dessutom investerar Saab i ett tredje AI-företag.Man tror att tekniken ska förändra framtidens krigföring– Jag ser framför mig att de här typen av traditionella strider som vi har sett under andra världskriget och i Irak och liknande, att de kommer nog bli lite mer science fiction-betonade framöver, säger Petter Bedoire, teknik- och forskningschef på Saab.Autonoma svärmarEtt av Saabs nya bolag arbetar med att bygga autonoma drönarsvärmar, alltså flockar av drönare i luften, på land eller i vatten, som själva kan kommunicera, leta mål och sen attackera på order.AI-svärmarna är svåra att försvara sig mot. – Om man liksom blir jagad av av en stor elak fågel så kan man kanske försvara sig med en träpåk, men om man blir jagad av en getingsvärm så har man ingen möjlighet att skydda sig helt enkelt och man blir helt mättad, eller överbelastad, säger Petter Bedoire.AI ny försvarstrendDrönarsvärmar med AI är en tydlig trend i försvarsvärlden. USA har gått ut med man ska satsa stort på området, och i stormaktskonkurrensen anser många att Kina också ligger långt fram.Rickard Stridh, forskningschef på Försvarsmakten, följer utvecklingen, men kan inte säga om även Sverige ska köpa in såna här autonoma vapensystem.– Det är väldigt svårt att säga, men vi strävar ju hela tiden efter att ha relevant materiel som bygger de förmågor som vi behöver. Kritik mot mördarrobotarDet finns en stark kritik mot autonoma vapen, det som en del kallar mördarrobotar, alltså maskiner som själva tar beslut om att döda. FN har diskuterat förbud och Petter Bedoire på Saab tycker att den debatten är bra.– Vi tror ju att man inte ska stoppa teknologiutvecklingen därför att här pågår ju en kapplöpning med till exempel Kina och Ryssland, där vi i väst inte får riskera att hamna på efterkälken. Däremot tillämpningarna att bygga olika typer av autonoma vapensystem, där tror jag att man ska vara mycket försiktig.Medverkande:Petter Bedoire, teknik- och forskningschef på Saab.Rickard Stridh, överste och Försvarsmaktens forskningschef.Anna Ponzio, samordnare för forskning och utveckling på Försvarets materielverk, FMV.Björn Pelzer, AI-forskare på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut, FOI.Vincent Boulanin, senior forskare och forskningschef för programmet om Reglering av AI på Stockholms internationella fredsforskningsinstitut, Sipri.

Den svenska vapenindustrin blomstrar i spåren av Ukrainakriget, men svensk vapenexport har historiskt varit nära sammanflätad med landets neutralitet. Så hur blir det när Sverige vill gå med i Nato? Den globala upprustningen Världen lägger rekordmycket pengar på upprustning och försvar. 2021 spenderade världens länder 2,1 biljoner dollar på militära utgifter, enligt fredsforskningsinstitutet SIPRI:s data. Mycket på grund av att länder som Ryssland, Kina och Indien satsat allt mer på sina militärer, och USA, som lägger ojämförligt mest. Mycket pekar på ett nytt rekordår, efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina, då också många europeiska länder anslutit sig till rutningen.Vapenförsäljningen blomstrar Konflikt besöker en vapenmässa i Polen dit köpare och säljare från stora delar av världen möts. Trycket är hårt och industrin blomstrar. Det gör den också i Sverige, det blir tydligt när Konflikt besöker Saabs vapenfabrik i Karlskoga. Där vittnar chefer om en stolthet nu, att svenska vapen, som Nlaw, Carl Gustaf och pansarskottet AT4, kan vara med och göra skillnad och hjälpa Ukraina att försvara sig. Men alla i Karlskoga känner inte samma stolthet.Svenska vapen i Ukraina I Ukraina träffar radions korrespondent en ukrainsk soldat som lärt sig använda det svensktillverkade vapnet Carl Gustaf på Youtube. Han ger en bild av krigets blodiga och brutala verklighet och hur de svenska vapnen används i strid. Sverige på väg in i Nato hur blir det då med vapenexporten? Den svenska vapenexporten är historiskt tätt sammanflätad med Sveriges neutralitet och alliansfrihet. Nu, när Sverige tar snabba steg mot Nato, tycker Svenska Freds att Sverige borde ha en seriös debatt om vapenexporten. Den kommer med ett högt pris, menar fredsorganisationen, som har som mål att vapenexporten ska avvecklas. Men när Konflikt träffar Saabs VD Micael Johansson så ser han snarare möjligheter som öppnar sig för företagets affärer om Sverige går med i Nato. Sveriges nya försvarsminister Pål Jonsson (M) har inte tid med en intervju med Konflikt.Medverkande: "Kuzma", prickskytt i Ukraina som använder granatgeväret Carl Gustaf, Mats Fagerberg, marknadschef Saab i Karlskoga, Michael Höglund, chef för Ground Combat, Saab i Karlskoga, Jonatan Edlund, präst i Karlskoga, Micael Johansson, VD Saab, Linda Åkerström, policychef Svenska Freds, William Hartung, försvarsanalytiker vid Quincy Institute for responsible statecraft, Nan Tian, fredsforskare vid SIPRI mflReportrar: Lubna El-Shanti, Kristian ÅströmTekniker: Adam Alvin och Joar JonssonProgramledare: Robin Olin robin.olin@sr.se Producent: Anja Sahlberg anja.sahlberg@sr.se

Europa vill fortsätta skicka vapen till Ukraina, men har inte alls rustat för dagens situation. Nu växer oron för sinande vapenförråd och röster höjs för att vapentillverkningen måste snabbas på. Uppdatering 2/11: Avsnittet har uppdaterats och kompletterats med ett förtydligande om Saabs ägande. Saab är till största del svenskägt, men har amerikanska minoritetsägare. Redan nu syns tecken på att vapenlagren i Europa kan vara på väg att ta slut. Inte minst finns en brist på ammunition. Samtidigt går Rysslands anfallskrig mot Ukraina in i en ny svår fas när det blir vinter. Men frågan är hur upprustning och effektiviserad tillverkning av vapen och försvarsmateriel kan gå till. Inom EU finns nu förslag till ett nytt upphandlingsdirektiv på försvarsområdet, ett förslag som om det blir verklighet skulle innebära ett skifte. Försvarsmateriel och upphandling av vapen har tidigare betraktats som en nationell fråga. I Sveriges riksdag finns en samsyn om att EU-förslaget om en gemensam strategi för tillverkning och upphandling av vapen är fel väg att gå.Hårt tryck på Tyskland att skicka tyngre vapenTyskland har i mångt och mycket fått omvärdera hela sin säkerhetspolitiska inställning sedan Rysslands invasion av Ukraina inleddes. Om man tidigare har trott på handel och relationer för att skapa stabilitet i omvärlden, har man nu behövt inse ett behov av militär upprustning. Trycket är fortsatt stort på Tyskland att skicka tyngre vapen till Ukraina. Men då finns en stor oro att man ska dras in i kriget.Medverkande: Magnus Christiansson, lektor i krigsvetenskap vid Försvarshögskolan. Daniel Alling, Tysklandskorrespondent.

Sverige har haft en militär utbildningskontingent på plats i norra Irak sedan åtminstone 2015. En insats som 2018 förlängdes till att omfatta tom. även 2020, med det uttryckta målet att bekämpa terrororganisationen Daesh eller IS - dvs det IS som Ericsson nu visar sig ha medfinansierat. En terrororganisation som lustigt nog dök upp precis 1 år efter det att Obama i sista sekund avstod från att bomba strategiska mål i Syrien 2014 i den djupa statens strävan att störta Bashar al-Assad. Detta efter att både Ryssland såsom Kina motsatte sig ytterligare "freds och demokrati" interventioner från USAs sida i Mellanöstern. Orsaken - oavsett vad de ägardirektivstyrda opinionsbildningsmedierna ville göra gällande i sin beskrivning av Assad - var att Assad som allierad med Ryssland såsom Iran inte var det minsta intresserad av att låta den djupa staten dra gasledningar från den arabiska halvön genom Syrien, för att denna vägen försörja Europa med energi, i sin strävan att skära av den Europeiska kontinenten från ryskt energiberoende via gasnavet Ukraina. Detta var alltså också själva syftet med att den djupa staten under 2013 destabiliserade och installerade en "västvänlig" marionettregering bestående av rysshatande oligarker som mynnade ut i det inbördeskrig mellan den rysktalande befolkningen i den östra delen av landet och den tillsatta Kiev-juntan, varför konflikten i Ukraina såsom Syrien från första start var den exakt samma. På Almedalen 2014 kunde man se Carl Bildt strosa runt med Zbigniew Brzezinski och hans son Mark, där den förstnämnde under flera amerikanska presidenter haft titeln nationell säkerhetsrådgivare, men så även författaren bakom boken "The grand chessboard". Där argumenterar han för den geopolitiska strategi som skall garantera USAs fortsatta globala dominans, där Eurasien med den större delen av världens befolkning såsom naturresurser är lokaliserade, och framförallt Ukraina såsom Azerbajdzjan pekas ut som nyckelpositioner på det geografiska spelbrädet att kontrollera för fortsatt västerländskt inflytande över världen . Kanske är det därför ej heller vidare konstigt att hans son Mark Brzezinski blev installerad som amerikansk ambassadör i Sverige 2012, eller att Carl Bildt tillsammans med Göran Persson och Jan Eliasson strax efter statskuppen i Kiev 2013 också blev utnämnda till hedersambassadörer i landet. Lägger vi därtill SAABs radarsystem "Global Eye" som använts som stridsledningssystem i både Syrien såsom det geostrategiskt viktiga Jemen, lämnar det inte mycket kvar av fantasin i denna änden heller om vilka det är som egentligen ligger bakom den operativa strategiska planering. Som alltid handlar det till sin grund om att kontrollera världens strategiska naturresursflöden, som underliggande och beskrivande värde, för att upprätthålla förtroendet för det valutafinansiella systemet, som till sin grund kontrolleras av enskild part, genom sin monopolställning av den telekominfrastruktur som all världens information rör sig över - läs Investor, Ericsson, Wallenberg. Så när nu Sverige enligt regeringen kommer att bistå Ukraina med militär utrustning - bland annat: • 5 000 pansarskott (Pansarskott 86) • 5 000 skyddsvästar • 5 000 hjälmar • 135 000 fältransoner ... så måste man vara riktigt svenskt kulturellt fördummad för att ej se i vilken riktning allt graviterar! #CarlNorberg #DeFria #RealNews De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

We are all suffering from a serious sleep deprived, post-race weekend hangover, and we are all calling in from across the US with varying internet speed and connections.  It starts with the somewhat normal Race Bar takeover and then we go into the race.  For this event, our drivers consisted of Vicki, Alan, and Jennifer and our two adopted teammates Aaron Diamond from the Saabs of Anarchy racing team and Elazar Mann from Race Bar.  It was a great weekend with many, many highs, and a few notable lows.  It was almost back to normal, well as normal as a Lemons race can be, and it was great to see everyone again. In this issue of Dominating with Dawson, we start off with our latest GHIT swag t-shirt that we made for the Dominating with Dawson and how we surprised Ben with it a few weeks back.  We then try to get back into our topic for this episode where we go into several things that you can practice on the public roads and during your normal driving that will improve your track driving or refine skills that you may want to start to employ on the track.  It is a great time to practice driving with left foot braking, heel-toe downshifting, as well as other less obvious areas of high performance driving.  Luckily for Bill, Vicki missed his joke, so he did not have to sleep in the tub after this episode, leaving a bit more room for Bill, lol. You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc. Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating or even better, a podcast review, we would greatly appreciate it and it would help us to grow the passion and sport of high performance driving. For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is very easy.  If you go to your podcast library, under shows and click on the podcast you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.  A link to the episode is: https://tinyurl.com/LemonsNJMP2021  We hope you enjoy this episode! PS  Please don't forget that if you are looking to add an Apex Pro to your driving telemetry system, don't forget to use our discount code for all Apex Pro systems you will receive a free Windshield Suction Cup Mount for the system, a savings of $40.  Just enter the code “ghitlikesapex!” when you order.  They are a great system and truly invaluable in safely increasing your speed on track and/or autocross etc.  The recently released second generation systems and app increases the capability of the system greatly. Best regards, Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers Highlights from this episode include: 1)  The Trophy truck/El Jeffe/Bad Hombre/Loki truck made its way to the track a bit late, but the theming of the truck and our drivers was a big hit in the paddock and with several of the young fans at the track. 2)  The race weekend started off with some small issues with the El Jeffe that we worked through the entire weekend.  Then we had a few other issues as the weekend progressed.  In other words, a normal endurance racing weekend. 3)  Aaron does his best robot impressions, but the connection improves after a few minutes. 4)  We had an issue with the engine losing power and having difficulty starting.  Unfortunately, we were not able to diagnose and fix the issue at the track, but let us know if you have any suggestions. 5)  Our two guest drivers describe the glory involved with driving the El Jeffe Trophy truck.  Since Aaron usually races a front wheel drive (Saab) and Elazar is usually in a mid engine car (Toyota MR-2), the truck is a bit different.  It is not what anyone expects.  We think Aaron and Elazar are both hooked.   6)  In addition to our power/electrical issue, we also had a continuing issue with our new exhaust design.  We fixed it Lemons style to keep racing and then we made a plan to fix it permanently, of course this was after sending Jennifer out for her stint. 7)  Bill makes a terrible American Pie joke.  He says he was really tired. 8)  Aaron has raced in Lemons for almost 5+ years and had only two black flags in the entire endurance racing career.  However, in true GHiT fashion, he managed to get two more in a single stint on Saturday.  As Mars Blackman said, "Its got to be the shoes." 9)  Elazar describes how he dealt with a total brake failure going into the high speed turn 1, truly an example of dealing with a brake issue in one of the best ways possible.  To add a bit to the weekend, Elazar was again subjected to a loss of the mounting bolt on the upper front control arm on the passenger side. 10)  Alan goes for donuts, well just one donut, on our door.  He may also have to adjust the HANS device or seek another design. 11)  So in the end, we missed the checkered flag on Saturday by about twenty minutes and we missed it by again by about the same amount.  Cue the sad trombone.   We had a great time, we learned some more, and we were able to spend some time with our old friends, our new friends and our soon to be friends.  A special shout out to our sister Jennifer who came to her first ever Lemons race and saw how much fun this can be.  We hope you come back again soon.

Hör om hans makalösa livsresa. Hur han ser på patent och därmed på otryggheten som finns för uppfinnare och innovatörer. Samt varför han nu, för första gången, berättar att han har fattat ett livsavgörande beslut. SAAB:s skriftliga kommentar, genom presschefen Mattias Rådström, är följande kring det som sägs i avsnittet: ”Vi kan konstatera att Skiljenämnden har beslutat till Saabs fördel när frågan var uppe till prövning. Saab och Håkan Lans bolag (GP&C) har haft olika uppfattningar av innebörden i vårt avtal och vi välkomnade då att Skiljenämnden prövade detta, så att vi kunde komma till ett avslut för båda parter. Från Saabs sida har vi under många år aktivt försökt nå en överenskommelse mellan parterna och vi har också betalat betydande belopp i royalty till GP&C. Vi har i dagsläget ingenting ytterligare att kommentera i ärendet då det är avgjort i skiljenämnd.”

Zak Stern, better known as Zak the Baker, is — as the eponymous business suggests — a baker. Based in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, Zak's bakery makes some of the city's favorite breads. He fell in love with baking even after having initially rejected it as a career path (he pursued a life in cheese first, spending time on a goat farm in Israel). He started his business in Miami baking in a used oven in a friend's garage and selling his bread at farmer's markets until he opened Zak The Baker in Wynwood in 2014. In the years since, he's earned James Beard semifinalist nods, been written up by The New York Times, and dabbled in TV. Most importantly, for purposes of this podcast, Zak led a "bread revolution" in Miami (as Mike puts it). Here, we get into Zak's origin story, his perspectives on entrepreneurship, his time living on a sailboat, and his appreciation of Saabs and chongas. Zak was also generous enough to provide musical accents to the conversation, which we have enhanced in post production through a little editing magic.

Father and son team, the Duanes are the founders of Air Chathams Air Chathams is not your typical airline.This family-owned airline is the only operator in the world that would give you the chance to fly a regular flight on a 1950s, Convair 580 aircraft. And, as it if this was not enough, you can round-up the experience by visiting one of the most remote inhabited outposts in the planet: the Chatham Islands, a tiny archipelago (pop.400) several hundred miles off the east coast of New Zealand. The Convair 580, a rare 1950s airliner that Air Chathams still operates on regular services….but not for long! Think that New Zealand is at the edge of the World? You can actually go a bit further and reach the Chatham Islands, some 400 miles off the east coast of New Zealand, where the South Pacific meets the Antarctic Ocean But Air Chathams has also an eclectic fleet that combines vintage aircraft, such as the Convairs and a WW2-era DC-3 that is used on charter flights, with a modern fleet of turboprops for different sorts of air services in and around New Zealand (they also fly to another fascinating remote outpost Norfolk Island!).I called Duane Emeny, the current Chief Operating Officer at Air Chathams and second-generation of the founding family, all the way across 12 time zones in order to talk about this rather unique airline business, about the Chatham Islands and, more generally, about what it takes to run an airline that operates 19140s and 1950s aircraft.Check it out!

But also, because Air Chathams is a family affair that has grown organically over the last three decades to cover a network of very interesting destinations in and around New ZealandDuane Emeny, our guest today, is the second generation at the helm of Air Chathams.We are going to talk about what it takes to build an airline in this part of the world, the story of its vintage fleet, which includes also a WW2-era DC-3, as well as the modern part of its fleet and the plans he holds for the future of this airline and, more generally, about the uniqueness of the destinations they fly to.Without further ado, let me welcome Duane to the podcast!-Hello, Duane! how are you? -Very good. How are you? -Very good. So you are joining us today from literally the other side of the world, from Auckland, New Zealand-Auckland, New Zealand.-Although you are additionally a while your company is originally based in an archipelago, it's even more remote than New Zealand and it's called the Chatham Islands and it’s 400 miles east of New Zealand's East Coast, right?-That is correct. It's a very isolated island population 400 nautical miles off the east coast of mainland New Zealand place called the Chatham Islands and yeah, it's an island population that really has a very strong fishing and agricultural industry, so to predominantly export export products into mainland New Zealand and internationally. So it's a small island A small population that it actually has a very large GDP per capita based on the products that are harvested.-And I guess your airline plays a role in this export activity, because you basically and that's the reason we have you here is that you operate the local airline in the islands. And that's an airline that caught my eye. A couple of years ago when I was writing an article for CNN about vintage airliners that are still operating. And I came across this airline called air chasms that you're still operating one of the few if not the only one. The only Convair 580 that is still operational, right. So that's a 1950s aircraft. You also have a DC-3 and then you have some other more modern aircraft like an ATR and I think some sign up turboprops as well. So can you please tell us a little bit about this airline and how it started and the type of very original unique fleet that you have.-Yeah, absolutely no problem. So, yeah, it is. It is a very unique year line that we operate. The airline started in 1984 is my father Craig that started the company. He was actually living on the Chatham Islands. He was working for another very small airline at the time, and providing a service between the islands there's a main island, which is called Chatham, and then there's another small island called Pitt Island, and there are fishing communities on both of those islands. So his job at the time was making sure that the islands were connected and could go backwards and forwards using a Cessna 185, a very small airplane. And he would land on all sorts of grassy strips on both islands and transport cargo and yeah, as I say, people and everything you can imagine actually. So, you know, he spent a lot of time on the Chatham Islands and he got to know the people and he could see that there were some real issues getting produce into the mainland of New Zealand. The service at the time was very unreliable. It was subsidized by the government, but it was quite infrequent. And as I say, the reliability was affected for a number of reasons...weather...it was difficult getting to the Chatham Islands, because of its remoteness. And also, ultimately, because it was a subsidized service. the priorities of the airline providing that service was really elsewhere in their own network. -So can I stop you here for a second, because I wanted to ask you about the islands as I checked a little bit about how they are. Do you have about 600 people living there? Something like that?-Yeah, that's right. So the resident population currently is 600.-It’s 6-0-0, not 600,000...-Yeah. So that's to give an idea to our audience of how such a, this is such a, it's not just remote, but it's also kind of a small place. So it's, it's just like a village in many ways, right?-Absolutely, it's a community where everyone knows everyone. You know, it's made up of a number of large family groups really, and and you know, those those family groups held back to the first settlers of the island in the US Like 100 sites, it is a very small community, very close community and I'm very proud community-And how are the islands? Like, what sort of environment there is a lot? -It's very rugged, very rugged landscape. It's part of the, what we call the roaring 40s. So it's 40 degrees latitude. And, and that brings some reasonably strong weather. We have, you know, very strong winds. The temperatures do get very cold, although we don't really have anything in the way of like heavy snow or frost. But it is quite cold with the Windchill, the windchill factor from the south is very cold because basically there's no there's no there's nothing between Antarctica and us when it comes to the wind. So it does play some challenges living on the island and it certainly poses some challenges operating aeroplanes. -Mm hmm. Interesting. So I'm gonna post the link. Well, a few links if I can find some and transcript on the, on the show notes so that people can see how they look like I just had a look on on the internet earlier. And I found it really, really interesting. I really have a thing for this sort of unique remote, places. So that's something definitely to check out. But I interrupted you when you were explaining the story of the airline. So basically, your father realized that there was a market gap, or there was a need in the islands for better connections to the New Zealand mainland, right. -Correct. And that's what he said. Yeah, he found that. Yeah, yeah. The, you know, with the help of the, the Chatham Islands people and some of the you know, He developed a relationship with during his time there, he was able to invest in a very small aircraft It was a Cessna 337 so they had a nickname called a push me pull you there was a centerline thrust the aircraft with one engine at the back and one in the front. So effectively It was a multi engine aircraft but on a single line thrust and any use any aircraft between Chatham Islands and pit Island but he also started flying Chad up into mainland New Zealand to a place called De Guzman and in Napier, which is on the Hawke's Bay and the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand.-Hmm, I'm just checking now these aircraft Cessna 337. That's quite an interesting configuration, as you said, when you went into the front, one at the back-That's right. So yeah, well, it's sort of they work at the same time both engines are. Okay, now they always had one And I guess if one stopped then you, you know, you still had one left, but I don't think it would get you very far.-Interesting. I'm gonna post the link as well on the show notes. -So, then you said that the small airline was a one aircraft airline. And I'm from there he kept growing it...-Yeah, basically the demand for products of the island grew and, then, as it grew...And ultimately, you know, that takes us through to 1996. When we purchased our first Convair 580. And that was when we introduced that airplane into our fleet.-And what did you get this Convair aircraft because that was already by the late 90s. That was already kind of vintage. I mean, that aircraft was flying already for 50 years, since the 50s and we could say it's one of the last large piston engine aircraft, right? -Yeah, well, I mean, they all came out originally as piston radial aircraft. The one that we purchased in 1996 for the Chatham Islands was actually a Convair 340 variant with the piston radial engines. And then in the, I think it was throughout the mid 60s, that's when Convair started to retrofit the aircraft, with the Ellison propeller engines and that's really what, you know, ultimately was making those aircraft so popular with a lot of regional airlines throughout the United States and actually through Europe as well. So and, and you know, I mean, you're quite right, I mean to be introducing an aircraft like that in 1996...it certainly already had quite a life. I'm not I'm not entirely up to date with the full history of the aircraft we now call ZK-CIB, which is New Zealand registration. But it certainly did have an exciting life and had just one, one little mishap, I believe it was on takeoff where the aircraft was was departing on quite an icy runway and it actually came off the runway and the propeller went through the side fuselage, I think was a left hand prop detach and went through the side fuselage and almost right the aircraft off. So, you know, it was salvaged from the air and carried on flying and eventually ended up on, you know, one of the remotest islands in the world...-And how did you procure this aircraft? Where did you find it? -Yeah, it was a little bit before me, but Well, I mean, I was around, quite a bit younger, but my father went over to Canada, there's a place called Kelowna and they were actually retrofitting these aircraft. So they were buying existing hulls and they were converting them into these combi aircraft. So, effectively a combination of passenger and freight and, and also installing a large hydraulic cargo door on the rear side of the fuselage. So it could actually take a pelletized loading system using tag ons and flat pellets with straps in it so that that's really the key to it was that it allowed for the Chatham Island service you could run as a you know, it could be a full passenger aircraft carrying 39 people or it could be converted within one hour to a full freight aircraft and carry, you know, just under seven ton or you could decide to have it multiple configurations of, you know, 21 passengers with four and a half ton of freight, or a 31 passenger combination with around about two and a half ton of freight. So, it was a very versatile aircraft. And that's why it was so effective on the Chatham Islands.-And right now you operate it in which configuration? Or you're also changing all the time?-Yeah, all the time. We're changing it. Yeah. So depending on what the demand is, if it's a larger group that wants to come out to visit the island, and we get that quite a bit during the summer, then we'll run it as a full freight aircraft. Or if it's, you know...if the fish factories on the Chatham Islands have got a lot of product that they need to export quickly, they'll contact us and we'll fly it out as a full full freighter, so it's constantly being moved between configurations. -So you're flying it regularly. And you could actually book it as a regular flight with any...-Absolutely! All the flights to and from the Chatham Islands are still serviced 100% by Convair aircraft and they run on a schedule we operate. Currently it's on a very reduced period post COVID-19. But we're still operating three return flights from the Chatham Islands to the three main ports and New Zealand which is Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. And you know, as we get closer to our summer, your winter, we will start to increase the schedule so to cater for the increase in passenger traffic demand and also a lot more fishing goes on because the weather starts to improve so the fishing boats can get out on the water and catch rock lobster and other fish species which they export.-Wow, it must be quite an experience to fly such an aircraft. -Yeah, we've had people from all over the world come and book on our airline, because they just love these airplanes and all they want to do is travel to the Chatahmas on a Convair and then fly again, so it is quite unique...-And that's not the only vintage aircraft that you have in your fleet because you also have...you used to have a Douglas DC-3, right? -Yeah, we still have a Douglas DC-3. It's a beautiful airplane. It's got a, you know, like all Douglas DC-3s that are still flying, it's got an amazing history. It came off the production line the day the the Russians invaded Berlin during WW2 so obviously at that stage the demand for aircraft going into Europe was less and so that particular plane was actually part of a number that was donated or gifted to the New Zealand Air Force and then they were used as trainers and they also saw some active duty. This particular one was on active duty in the Malayan crisis. When it came back to New Zealand it was sold what ultimately became Air New Zealand, but at the time it was called National Airways Corporation. And they were flown all around New Zealand. So initially, it was actually two airlines in New Zealand that were flying DC-3 and National Airways Corporation were actually in quite a heated competition environment so they upgraded the aircraft they implemented the what they called the skyline and mod so you know, it was soundproofing and improved cabin interiors in larger windows. So that's the shape that the aircraft is currently. From there, it went on leasing, it did some flying for an airline in Samoa, which is in the South Pacific, a South Pacific Island, from there it came back to New Zealand where it was used. Initially the plan was to use it to fly tourists around the country, but then it was actually converted to an agricultural aircraft. So it was spraying fertilizer on the farms around New Zealand, on certain parts of New Zealand. After that, it was a freighter, they pulled all the hopper equipment out for the fertilizing work and they turned it into a freighter. And it was flying between the two islands, so the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand, then it was reconverted back into a passenger aircraft. The intention was to use it on tours around the country again. But that never happened. And it found its way to the kingdom of Tonga where it was actually purchased by the Crown Prince, they have a monarchy in Tonga. And they actually had an airline up there and started operating two DC-3s. All through the Kingdom of Tonga. So they did that for quite some time. And that's really how we came to, to get our hands on the aircraft is that we took over the air service and Tonga, as we called it Chathams Pacific. It was a subsidiary of our mainline. And we purchased a hangar so that we could do our own airline maintenance at the hangar in Tongatapu, it’s an airport, which is their international airport, it connects the kingdom with New Zealand and other countries, Australia and through the Pacific. And there at the hangar was the Douglas DC-3 and my father is quite a passionate aviator. So he didn't want to see that aircraft turned into scrap. So we started a project, we got some help from Air New Zealand and some very experienced aircraft engineers that had worked on and flew the Douglas DC-3s in the past. And we slowly, but surely brought it back to life. Once we had it serviceable and certified, we actually decided to operate it ourselves. So we started flying passengers with that aircraft between Tongatapu and the Ha’apai Island group and also up into the Vava’u Island group, which is in the kingdom of Tonga. And it was actually very successful and was hands down one of the more reliable airplanes that we had because they were just so simple. They were built that way. So if you know you needed to change a cylinder, you could do that within a matter of hours. So they are very, very effective airplanes. We made the decision to exit that market, because there was at the time quite a large influence through government to accept an offer from the Chinese government for some MA-60 aircraft, and a whole aviation package around that so we just felt that it probably wasn't going to be a very fair environment to operate in and we decided that we would move out that part of our operation back to New Zealand and we took the DC-3s with us and since it got back into New Zealand we've been using it for predominantly for scenic flying and air shows so we take it to all the main shows around New Zealand and also it's based 24/7 these days in port city called Tauranga and that's on the western Bay of Plenty in the North Island of New Zealand and we've paired up with a company down there called Classic Fliers. So on the weekends and summer we take our DC-3 out for...I think, it's only 99 New Zealand dollars. I'm not sure what that is in euro...it's probably about 30 euro...we fly that aircraft for 30 minutes around the city as a sightseeing tour. It's very popular.-Wow, that's quite a story. I'm trying to picture now this DC-3 flying in the South Pacific and then in the beautiful landscape of New Zealand that must be really, really an amazing experience. So that's only for on.demand panoramic flights. It's not on, let's say, on regular airline service, this DC-3...-Yeah, that's right it's a line schedule days are well and truly over, but we do still use it on the on theme tours and and we do go to the shows and things like that as well. So it's beautiful. Everywhere it goes, it draws attention. And, you know, our goal now, because we are a family airline and we are very passionate about aviation, we want to make sure that people get to experience it here. -I see some pictures online, you have it painted in a sort of retro livery…-Yeah, so we've actually taken it back to its original paint scheme when it first started with a National Airways Corporation. And, and it was named “Pouwhaitere”, which is a Maori word for a yellow crested parakeet. And so that's the paint scheme that we've taken it back to.-I can see you also have other aircraft in your fleet. I mean, I don't want the audience to have the impression that you are like a flying museum! I mean, you have some modern aircraft as well. You have an ATR 72, you have some SAAB 340s, Fairchild Metros...Cessnas...Can you tell us a bit more about the rest of the fleet, the modern part of the fleet?-Yeah, no problem. So I guess it’s like anything...as an airline grows. You've got to move with the times and because we are family owned, we are limited by basically what we can afford as a family to operate. But as the airline has grown larger, we've been in a position to take advantage of some opportunities that have come our way. So we've expanded our domestic network within the North Island of New Zealand. We took over some flight routes that were previously operated by a New Zealand national carrier. And we implemented aircraft like the Metroliners...we bought into the Saab 340, which has been an extremely effective aircraft for our airline. And in more recent times, we have contracted with a company based in the United States to provide an aircraft for Tauck Tours, they are an international travel company that has guided itineraries throughout the world, including Australia and New Zealand. So we operate the New Zealand component of that with our ATR 72. So We're in a transitional state at the moment, we think we'll be retiring the Convairs within the next 12 months.-One question, I didn't fully understand what last thing you said about the ATR 72. So that's it’s flying itineraries for groups, is it?-Yes. So there's...if you google search...it's a company called Tauck, T-a-u-c-k, and they're an international travel company that does very high end fully guided tours all around the world. And they have an Australia and New Zealand component. So we operate the itineraries for New Zealand. So that aircraft, that ATR aircraft we purchased from Air New Zealand, we use it specifically on those charter services.-Okay, interesting. And from what you said, you also operate on the New Zealand mainland so your route network is not only flying between the Chatham Islands and New Zealand but also inside New Zealand. And I think you also have a flight to the Norfolk island. Is this right?-That's correct, yeah, we love flying to Norfolk Island!-Just for the audience: it's an island, a small island, that is literally between Australia and New Zealand and it's got, from what I heard, a very unique environment and landscape.-Right yeah! very similar to the Chathams except the temperatures are significantly better, it's a much warmer place, it's subtropical. They don't have any industry there, the only industry is tourism. So visitors from Australia and New Zealand predominantly, but in recent years, mainly from Australia. And, yes, we operate the Convair 580 from Auckland to Norfolk. So, interestingly, that's exactly the same distances as the flight from Auckland to Chatham Islands. And even more interestingly, if you flew directly from the Chatham Islands to Auckland and you carried on flying for another 580 nautical miles, you would land in Norfolk Island. So, go figure! We decided that was a route that was purpose-built for the Convair.-So your airline should be on the agenda of pretty much everyone that is interested in these remote out spots in the south.-Yeah, I think so-A very unique destination network...-Yeah. So it's probably for at least the next six months you can operate on, you know, fly on a very unique airplane to a very unique place. -How is it like to operate such a diverse and unique fleet? I guess when you're flying a Convair 580, a 1950s Convair, a 1940s, DC-3...then you have some other aircraft...all the maintenance and all the other MRO stuff that goes around those airplanes. It must be quite complex to run an airline like that. I'm just thinking specifically about the Convair and the DC-3, they might require some maintenance work. And I don't know how easy it is to source spares and components that you might need eventually…-Yeah, you're right. It is it is challenging and I think in the early days, you know, the mid 90s when my father first bought the Convairs, yeah, they had a lot of they had a lot of issues with just getting to grips with the aircraft, actually, because it is very complex and it's a beautifully designed airplane. Just like the DC-3, actually, it was so far ahead of its time. But it is very complex and there are a lot of systems And there are a lot of moving parts. And so, yeah, they had some interesting times. But I think, you know, having operated the aircraft for as long as we have, you know, 24 years, really then you see a lot of things and, and also in that time, we were able to build up a very good stock of space. So, we have the operating knowledge now, we have in the last decade the space to back that up. So, that actually became an extremely reliable airplane for us and they continue to be very reliable.The DC-3, it's similar, I mean, there is still a number of Douglas DC-3s around the world and there are a number of manufacturers that will provide overhaul and parts that the aircraft is obviously supported by Boeing. So, you know, all in all, it's, it is a challenge and like everything in aviation is very expensive, but yeah, it's still possible!-What about the pilots? Do you need pilots with some specific training to fly the Convairs and the DC-3s?-Yeah, absolutely! So we operate in accordance with our regulators. So that's the New Zealand Civil Aviation. And most of the framework of those rules come from ICAO and the FAA. So, it's very similar worldwide, with a lot of Western countries in terms of how those aviation industries are regulated. So we operate...they call it part one two five the Douglas DC-3, because that's the category that aircraft fits into, less than 30 seats. So that is operated to a very high standard of training. To give you an example, like anything if you want to fly that airplane, you have to do a ground school, you have to complete that then you have to type rating which consists of around about five hours of flying in the actual airplane that's running through a whole scenario of emergency and abnormal events. And then you have to go into line training, which, depending on whether it's an initial or upgrade training can be anywhere from sort of 10 to 15 hours online, so that's under Part one two five then with a Convairs, it's even, it's even more thorough with the Part 121, which is your larger aircraft category, over 30 seats and pilot and greater than 3.4 ton. So it's a ground school that consists of around two weeks in class. Then you go into simulators, we have one of only two fixed base Convair simulators in the world that's based on Chatham Islands. So you end up as a pilot, you'll spend probably about two weeks in the simulator, doing exercises then you'll get into the airplane itself. Complete your type rating because there's some things you can't do in a fixed base simulators, you complete your type writing in the airplane. And then you go online training for, you know, 100 hours 100 flight hours or 75 flight cycles. And then at the end of that if you've completed all your exercises, you make the grade that you'll be signed out to fly with on a regular lineup, so it's very thorough and terms of our training standards and has to be because, you know, you've got a lot of responsibility.-Yes. Well, I guess there's not that many pilots out there that have followed this procedure. It's a pretty exclusive club.-Yeah, yes. I mean, my father and I both fly the Convair and we both fly the Douglas DC-3. He still flies it, I haven't flown the DC-3 for a couple of years now...But, but yeah, they are complex airplanes, but they're great fun. The Convair 580 is still my favorite airplane to fly out of everything and I've flown you know, Metroliners and Saabs, as well, so yeah…! -Wow. So they can find you out at the rudder when people come onboard! Very good and just one question that is inevitable these days: is about...well...the pandemic. You are in one of those parts of the world that have, let's say, they have best managed the whole situation. And so I guess you are now getting to normal almost close to normal?-Yeah, it's getting normal in terms of our domestic environment. We have a level scale so it goes from level one to level four. Level four was locked down. Level three was not much different than lockdown. Level two was when a lot of those restrictions were lifted. We were in that environment for a number of weeks. And then we've just in the last two weeks transitioned back to level one, which is basically life as normal in New Zealand, but we still have very heavy restrictions on international travel into our country. So from a domestic point of view, it just feels like everything's normal again, we can go to sporting matches with stadiums full of people. You know, we can obviously get public transport...there's no restrictions on that. There's no social distancing mandated on the aircraft. So from a business point of view, it makes it a little bit easier to get things back on track, but I think it's going to take a very, very long time, and I think that the economic impact of, of COVID on our domestic market and also the global markets will be huge and is going to be realized over the next six to 12 months. - Did the virus reach the Chatham Islands? -No! didn't reach the Chathams and it didn't reach Norfolk Island. So yeah, that's another reason to travel there. Yeah!-Yeah, definitely! So just for the people that might be interested in flying your airline, they should go and book on the website, right, AirChathams.co.nz and what other ways…? you also offer some tools, panoramic flights, etc. So everything is bookable there?-Yeah, I mean, if you want to just have a look, an understanding of what we do and what aircraft we fly, just go to AirChathams.co.nz. Have a look. And if you want to book a flight, you can do that from the website. We are also on a lot of aggregators throughout the world that actually sell our products. So you can look on Skyscanner and things like that. Believe it or not, you can book a flight on a 1960s Convair via a modern platform. So it's quite quite unique. -Yes, indeed. And I'm going to post a link on the show notes. So it's airchathams.co dot as I said. Great! So it's been so interesting to have this conversation. It's definitely a very unique airline, very unique fleet and very unique network that you are operating. So I guess that's going to be quite interesting. Too many of our listeners a derivation enthusiast and...who knows you might get some of them soon onboard your Convair or your DC-3 or your other aircraft…-It's a very unique family and business and yeah, we're proud of what we've managed to achieve over the years since 1984. And of course you know, the future is going to be interesting as well as we unfortunately have to transition away from Convairs. It'll be a very sad day for us when we have to do that, but we're gonna move into operating more Saabs and potentially more ATRs and...just see where that takes us.-Do you have already a calendar for the retirement of the Convairs? -Yeah, it's been slowly been worked out. We're currently operating three Convairs. One's a a freight craft. So, that one does the flight between, predominantly, Auckland and Christchurch, which are two major cities and New Zealand. And then we have two passenger aircraft, the combis that I've spoken about mainly, and also another aircraft which we purchased from an airline called Era Aviation which were based in Alaska, that was a 50 seat on the air and it was passenger only, but you know, we called key Kiwi ingenuity and we installed seat backs. And we've actually managed to make that aircraft quite effective at carrying both passengers and freight. What we think will happen as towards the latter part of this year, will reduce our fleet to two Convairs and by around mid next year, we'll probably retire both of the Convairs, so we won't be operating anymore and our fleet. Yeah, things can change, but we're currently looking at programs to have our Saab and ATR aircraft upgraded to fly the oceanic routes out to Chatham Islands and Norfolk Island so that they can start to operate on those predominantly Convair sectors.-Ok, so aviation enthusiasts that wish to fly the Convairs have a sort of narrow window of opportunity to do so, provided the travel restrictions are lifted, they will need to hurry up to experience these aircraft before they are gone. Good, thank you very much Duane!, it's been pleasure talking with you and learning about your very unique airline. I will post all the links and information on the show notes so that people can have a look. Thank you very much and have a great week!-Thanks, Miquel!

Efter 40 år på Saab blir Thomas Lanz arbetslös när Saab går i konkurs. 60 år gammal tvingas han ut på arbetsmarknaden för att söka jobb, skriva CV och gå på anställningsintervjuer. Saabs konkurs slog hårt mot Trollhättebygden och läget beskrevs som nattsvart. I ett slag förlorade cirka 3000 personer jobbet och i och med det också tron på framtiden. Men mitt i det nattsvarta fanns ändå ljusglimtar. För några blev konkursen en nystart. Thomas Lanz är en av dom som tvingades leta efter en ny väg i livet. - Det är som en person sa till mig, det gör inte så mycket om man kör lite fel. Då för man ju se något nytt och det är ju en upplevelse det med. Livet är ju så, säger Thomas Lanz. Reporter Carina Holmberg carina.holmberg@sverigesradio.se

Om en ny teknologi som ges allt större makt - över både liv och död. Vi har vant oss vid obemannade krigsfarkoster i Pakistan och Jemen. Men drönare börjar nu dyka upp över Jokkmokks myrar, amerikanska bilköer och som europeiskt gränsskydd. Är den här utvecklingen alls problematisk? Hör om Saabs satsning, pakistansk panik och svenska samer mitt i fjärrstryrd krigföring och spaning. "Playstation mentality", Playstation-mentalitet. Begreppet lanserades av Philip Alston, FN:s särskilde rapportör för rättsosäkra, summariska avrättningar. FN-rapportören undrade var dataspelsvärlden slutar och var den verkliga världen börjar. För fjärrstyrda obemannade farkoster – som ofta kallas drönare –  väcker frågor. System för övervakning, spionage och krig på distans säljs, i verkligheten, men med tv-spelsestetik. Och hela världen berörs av utvecklingen av fjärrstyrda farkoster – från de snöklädda bergen i Pakistan, till robotbyn i Lappland. Det är så den kallas, byn Vidsel som blivit skjutbana för fjärrstyrda frambärare av förödelse. Sveriges Radios Sigrid Flensburg reste till Jokkmokk för att ta reda på vad som sker på Vidselbasen. Hastigheten i utvecklingen av de fjärrstyrda, obemannade flygsystemen går snabbt. Det berättade bland andra Håkan Ekström, som Konflikts Mikael Olsson träffade vid besöket på Saab Aeronautics i Linköping. Hans jobb är alltså att marknadsföra SAAB:s nya obemannade, fjärrstyrda helikopter Skeldar och menar att intresset för förarlöst flyg är stort. Tommy Silbering - chef för drönar-avdelningen på israeliska IAI - Israeli Aerospace Industries, talar om en veritabel guld-rush för drönare. Här finns pengar att tjäna och företag söker sig dit där pengarna finns. Det statliga Israeli Aerospace Industris med 17 000 anställda är Israels största företag och är en av världens ledande tillverkare av obemannade flygande farkoster. Företaget är också en av pionjärerna på området. Förarlösa plan testades första gången i kriget mot Libanon 1982, och har sedan dess blivit en allt viktigare del av det israeliska flygvapnet - senast under Gaza-kriget 2009. Konflikts Daniela Marquardt ringde upp Tommy Silberling på hans arbetsplats intill Ben Gurion-flygplatsen i Tel Aviv. Förarlösa plan har gått från att vara en bisak till att bli huvudsak i världen, säger han. Inte minst vid gränskydd; enligt planerna ska det amerikanska gränskyddet totalt ha 24 drönarsystem senast 2016. Och EU:s motsvarighet, Frontex, håller nu på att välja drönarteknik. När det gäller Europa är annars Storbritannien är det land som hunnit längst i användningen av drönare både för militärt bruk, men också i planeringen för civila drönare. En av dem som engagerat sig för att väcka opinion kring problemen med den ökade användningen av obemannade flygsystem är Chris Cole som för två år sen var medförfattare till en rapport med namnet "Convenient Killing - armed drones and the Playstation mentality". Cole driver sedan dess sajten Dronewars UK där nyheter och statistik om användningen av drönare ständigt uppdateras. När Konflikts Mikael Olsson får tag på Cole på mobilen säger han att de trettionde olympiska sommarspelen i London i sommar snabbar på användningen av drönare i Sorbritannien. Det är i Pakistan som teknologin med obemannade system för flygattacker troligtvis kommit till störst användning. I den nordvästra delen av landet, i den havlautonoma del mot gränsen till Afghanistan som brukar kallas FATA, eller Federally Administered Tribal Areas - i det här bergiga området har USAs säkerhetstjänst CIA nu snart tio år drivit ett fjärrstyrt krig med missilbestyckade drönare. Attackerna har varit kontroversiella från början, men eftersom regionen är så otillgänglig och kriget så hemligt är det först nu som man kan börja skönja konsekvenserna av drönarkriget. Konflikts Ivar Ekman börjar sitt sökande inte i skyarna över FATA-regionen, utan i cyberrymden. Programledare: Mikael Olsson Producent: Ivar Ekman

Efter århundraden av krig och fiendskap började invånarna i de nordiska länderna under 1800-talet att se varandra som syskonfolk. Insikten att det finns stora kulturella likheter mellan länderna och att våra språk har ett gemensamt ursprung ledde till en ny identitet och att människor såg på sig själva som skandinaver. Tidigare har man ansett att den här så kallade skandinavismen dog ut vid mitten av 1800-talet, men litteraturvetaren Kari Haarder Ekman säger att den levde kvar i litteraturen till in på 1900-talet och att den var en viktig orsak till att det moderna genombrottet i nordisk litteratur blev så framgångsrikt. Få uppfinningar har revolutionerat människors vardag så som bilen, och 1900-talet var på många sätt bilens århundrade. Idag är bilar och bilism mer aktuellt än någonsin, oavsett om det handlar om klimatförändringar, trängselskatter eller Saabs framtid. Emin Tengström är författare till den nya boken "Bilen & människan i svensk prosa och poesi", och i en ny serie kommer han under några veckor framöver att berätta om hur bilen har skildrats i den svenska litteraturen. Programledare är Urban Björstadius.
