The Boeing Bird of Prey was a mid-1990's stealth technology demonstrator used to test low-observable stealth techniques and develop new methods of aircraft design. The recent F-47 sixth generation fighter, which will be a Boeing product, is thought to trace its lineage to the BBoP.This episode features retired U.S Air Force and Boeing Corporation test pilot Doug "Benj" Benjamin, originally recorded in 2021. Benj was the first and last BBoP test pilot, having amassed more hours in the demonstrator than any other test pilot.Benj also shares amazing stories from his experience flying the F-106, attending the French Test Pilot School, and conducting F-16 flight test. The conversation wanders into the F-22, F-35 and even Boeing 737 and 757 civilian airliners.After the feature interview, Jon "BigDogg" Rhone stops by to briefly explain SAIC, a Fortune 500 technology integrator focused on advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Chris Geist ist einer der bekanntesten deutschen Fluglehrer und Sicherheitstrainer. Wie hält er es mit dem Risiko? +++ Chris Geist hat vor 17 Jahren die Paragliding Academy im Allgäu gegründet, als Flugschule und Anbieter von Sicherheitstrainings. Zuvor war er Acro-Flieger, dann Entwicklungs- und Testpilot, wo er gerne an die Grenzen von Material und Mensch ging. Nur bei der Einschätzung des Wetters war er immer sehr konservativ, erzählt der heute 47-jährige in dieser Episode 157 von Podz-Glidz. Und er wundert sich heute noch, wie unbedarft sich viele Piloten in die Lüfte die Lüfte schwingen, selbst wenn die Prognosen eindeutig von Föhn sprechen. Chris hatte mir vor ein paar Wochen eine Sprachnachricht per WhatsApp geschickt und mir dahingehend sein Leid geklagt. Er regte an, ob ich nicht via Lu-Glidz ein wenig Föhnaufklärung betreiben könnte. Daraus wurde dann die Idee, mit ihm in einem Podcast zu machen und dabei nicht nur über Wetter, sondern auch den allgemeinen Umgang mit Flugrisiken zu sprechen. So wurde daraus ein im Wortsinn häufig heiteres Themenpotpourri. Unter anderem sprechen wir darüber, wie sich der Charakter der Flugschüler über die Jahre gewandelt hat, welche Kehrseite die immer einfacher zu fliegenden Gleitschirme mit sich bringen, warum sich viele Zweileiner-Piloten selbst überschätzen, und warum Chris sich von der Radikalität, mit der manche junge XC-Cracks an das Streckenfliegen herangehen, gerne eine Scheibe abschneiden würde. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Track: Pienso Viento | Künstler: Casa Rosa Youtube Audio Library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nT3lZ88Usw +++ LINKS zu Lu-Glidz: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz +++ LINKS zu Chris Geist: + Website: https://paragliding-academy.com/ + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gleitschirmschule + Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paraglidingacademy/ + Youtube-Kanal: http://www.youtube.com/ParaglidingAcademy

On this very special and very nostalgic episode of Test Pilot we are joined by our family member Harry to talk about the pilot episode of Animorphs - My Name Is Jake (Part 1 and 2) (1998)

"Those two have watched Test Pilot a few too many times." We're covering Gale "Buck" Evans and John "Bucky" Egan from Masters of the Air this episode, but we'll also be dipping back in time to explain this Test Pilot reference and discuss what might be the first homoerotic relationship between pilots put on film in 1927's Wings.

Ein Gespräch mit Daniel Loritz über (zu) anspruchsvolle C-Zweileiner und die Dominanz von Notschirmen +++ Als ich Daniel Loritz zu Podz-Glidz eingeladen habe, stand ich vor einer schwierigen Frage: Worüber sollte ich mit ihm denn sprechen? Nicht, weil es da an Themen mangeln würde. Im Gegenteil: Dani ist eine dieser Fliegerpersönlichkeiten, die so ungeheuer facettenreich daherkommen, dass man ihnen in einer einzelnen Podcastfolge kaum gerecht werden kann. Dani ist ein Pilot der fast ersten Stunde und hat seitdem die gesamte Entwicklung des Gleitschirmfliegens miterlebt und in vielen Bereichen auch mitgeprägt: unter anderem als Fluglehrer, als Sicherheitstrainer, als Testpilot, als Konstrukteur von Gleitschirmen und moderner Rettungsschirme. Der heute 54-jährige hat zum Beispiel das Konzept der Kreuzkappe für das Gleitschirmfliegen adaptiert und die Dreieckskappen erfunden. In der Szene ist Dani auch dafür bekannt, dass er zuweilen so sachkundig, meinungsstark wie authentisch zu allen möglichen Fliegerthemen „die Hosen runterlässt“, wie er es selber nennt. Kürzlich hat er im Gleitschirmdrachenforum eine Art Pauschalkritik an den EN-C Zweileinern veröffentlicht. Wie er diese begründet, das ist eines der Themen in unserem Gespräch. Im zweiten Teil geht es dann vor allem um Danis Expertise in der Konstruktion von Notschirmen, die Bedeutung der Rettergröße für dessen Dominanz gegenüber dem Hauptschirm und das ungelöste Problem des Retterfraßes. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Track: Two Gong Fire | Künstler: Ryan McCaffrey Youtube Audio Library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKl_nybsGSo +++ Lu-Glidz LINKS: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz +++ LINKS zu Dani Loritz: + Homepage: https://www.x-dreamfly.ch/

Historical data suggests a floor around 400,000 visits, likely good for fifth in the region, behind Killington, Okemo, Sunday River, and Mount Snow. But the exact numbers don't really matter, because the number of skiers that ski at Stratton each winter is many manys. And the number of skiers who have strong opinions about Stratton is that exact same number.Those numbers make Stratton more important than it should be. This is not the best ski area in Vermont. It's not even Alterra's best ski area in Vermont. Jay, MRG, Killington, Smuggs, Stowe, and sister resort Sugarbush are objectively better mountains than Stratton from a terrain point of view (they also get a lot more snow). But this may be one of the most crucial mountains in Alterra's portfolio, a doorway to the big-money East, a brand name for skiers across the region. Stratton is the only ski area that advertises in the New York City Subway, and has for years.But Stratton's been under a bit of stress. The lift system is aging. The gondola is terrible. Stratton was one of those ski areas that was so far ahead of the modernization curve – the mountain had four six-packs by 2001 – that it's now in the position of having to update all of that expensive stuff all at once. And as meaningful updates have lagged, Stratton's biggest New England competitors are running superlifts up the incline at a historic pace, while Alterra lobs hundreds of millions at its western megaresorts. Locals feel shafted, picketing an absentee landlord that they view as negligent. Meanwhile, the crowds pile up, as unlimited Ikon Pass access has holstered the mountain in hundreds of thousands of skiers' wintertime battle belts.If that all sounds a little dramatic, it only reflects the messages in my inbox. I think Alterra has been cc'd on at least some of those emails, because the company is tossing $20 million at Stratton this season, a sum that Jones tells us is just the beginning of massive long-term investment meant to reinforce the mountain's self-image as a destination on its own.What we talked aboutStratton's $20 million offseason; Act 250 masterplanning versus U.S. Forest Service masterplanning; huge snowmaking upgrades and aspirations; what $8 million gets you in employee housing these days; big upgrades for the Ursa and American Express six-packs; a case for rebuilding lifts rather than doing a tear-down and replace; a Tamarack lift upgrade; when Alterra's investment firehose could shift east; leaving Tahoe for Vermont; what can be done about that gondola?; the Kidderbrook lift; parking; RFID; Ikon Pass access levels; and $200 to ski Stratton.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewHow pissed do you think the Punisher was when Disney announced that Ant Man would be the 12th installment in Marvel's cinematic universe? I imagine him seated in his lair, polishing his grenades. “F*****g Ant Man?” He throws a grenade into one of his armored Jeeps, which disintegrates in a supernova of steel parts, tires, and smoke. “Ant Man. Are you f*****g serious with this? I waited through eleven movies. Eleven. Iron Man got three. Thor and Captain f*****g America got two apiece. The Hulk. Two Avengers movies. Something called ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,' about a raccoon and a talking tree that save the goddamn universe or some s**t. And it was my turn, Man. My. Turn. Do these idiots not know that I had three individual comic lines published concurrently in the 1990s? Do they not know that I'm ranked as the ninth-greatest Marvel superhero of all time on this nerd list? Do you know where Ant Man is ranked on that list? Huh? Well, I'll tell you: number 131, behind Rocket Raccoon, U-Go Girl, and Spider Man 2099, whatever the hell any of those are.” The vigilante then loads his rocket launcher and several machine guns into a second armored Jeep, and sets off in search of jaywalkers to murder.Anyway I imagine that's how Stratton felt as it watched the rest of Alterra's cinematic universe release one blockbuster after another. “Oh, OK, so Steamboat not only gets a second gondola, but they get a 600-acre terrain expansion served by their eighth high-speed quad? And it wasn't enough to connect the two sides of Palisades Tahoe with a gondola, but you threw in a brand-new six-pack? And they're tripling the size of Deer Valley. Tripling. 3,700 acres of new terrain and 16 new lifts and a new base village to go with it. That's equal to five-and-a-half Strattons. And Winter Park gets a new six-pack, and Big Bear gets a new six-pack, and Mammoth gets two. Do you have any idea how much these things cost? And I can't even get a gondola that can withstand wind gusts over three miles per hour? Even goddamn Snowshoe – Snowshoe – got a new lift before I did. I didn't even think West Virginia was actually a real place. I swear if these f*****s announce a new June Mountain out-of-base lift before I get my bling, things are gonna get Epic around here.”Well, it's finally Stratton's turn, with $20 million in upgrades inbound. Alterra wasn't exactly mining the depths of locals' dreams to decide where to deploy the cash – snowmaking, employee housing, lift overhauls – and a gondola replacement isn't coming anytime soon, but they're pretty smart investments when you dig into them. Which we do.Questions I wish I'd askedAmong the items that I would have liked to have discussed given more time: the Appalachian Trail's path across the top of Stratton Mountain, Stratton as birthplace of modern snowboarding, and the Stratton Mountain School.What I got wrong* I said that Epic Pass access had remained mostly unchanged for the past decade, which is not quite right. When Vail first added Stowe to the Epic Local Pass for the 2017-18 season, they slotted the resort into the bucket of 10 days shared with Vail, Beaver Creek, and Whistler. At some point, Stowe received its own basket of 10 days, apart from the western resorts.* I said that Sunday River's Jordan eight-pack was wind-resistant “because of the weight.” While that is one factor, the lift's ability to run in high winds relies on a more complex set of anti-sway technology, none of which I really understand, but that Sunday River GM Brian Heon explained on The Storm earlier this year:Why you should ski StrattonA silent skiing demarcation line runs roughly along US 4 through Vermont. Every ski area along or above this route – Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Stowe, Smuggs – lets trails bump up, maintains large glade networks, and generally provides you with balanced, diverse terrain. Everything below that line – Okemo, Bromley, Mount Snow – generally don't do any of these things, or offer them sporadically, and in the most shrunken form possible. There are some exceptions on both sides. Saskadena Six, a bump just north of US 4, operates more like the Southies. Magic, in the south, better mirrors the MRG/Sugarbush model. And then there's Stratton.Good luck finding bumps at Stratton. Maybe you'll stumble onto the remains of a short competition course here or there, but, generally, this is a groom-it-all-every-day kind of ski area. Which would typically make it a token stop on my annual rounds. But Stratton has one great strength that has long made it a quasi-home mountain for me: glades.The glade network is expansive and well-maintained. The lines are interesting and, in places, challenging. You wouldn't know this from the trailmap, which portrays the tree-skiing areas as little islands lodged onto Stratton's hulk. But there are lots of them, and they are plenty long. On a typical pow day, I'll park at Sun Bowl and ski all the glades from Test Pilot over to West Pilot and back. It takes all day and I barely touch a groomer.And the glades are open more often than you'd think. While northern Vermont is the undisputed New England snow king, with everything from Killington north counting 250-plus inches in an average winter, the so-called Golden Triangle of Stratton, Bromley, and Magic sits in a nice little micro-snow-pocket. And Stratton, the skyscraping tallest peak in that region of the state, devours a whole bunch (180 inches on average) to fill in those glades.And if you are Groomer Greg, you're in luck: Stratton has 99 of them. And the grooming is excellent. Just start early, because they get scraped off by the NYC hordes who camp out there every weekend. The obsessive grooming does make this a good family spot, and the long green trail from the top down to the base is one of the best long beginner runs anywhere.Podcast NotesOn Act 250This is the 20th Vermont-focused Storm Skiing Podcast, and I think we've referenced Act 250 in all of them. If you're unfamiliar with this law, it is, according to the official state website:…Vermont's land use and development law, enacted in 1970 at a time when Vermont was undergoing significant development pressure. The law provides a public, quasi-judicial process for reviewing and managing the environmental, social and fiscal consequences of major subdivisions and developments in Vermont. It assures that larger developments complement Vermont's unique landscape, economy and community needs. One of the strengths of Act 250 is the access it provides to neighbors and other interested parties to participate in the development review process. Applicants often work with neighbors, municipalities, state agencies and other interested groups to address concerns raised by a proposed development, resolving issues and mitigating impacts before a permit application is filed.On Stratton's masterplanStratton is currently updating its masterplan. It will retain some elements of this 2013 version. Some elements of this – most notably a new Snow Bowl lift in 2018 – have been completed:One curious element of this masterplan is the proposed lift up the Kidderbrook trail – around 2007, Stratton removed a relatively new (installed 1989) Poma fixed-grip quad from that location. Here it is on the far left-hand side of the 2005 trailmap:On Stratton's ownership historyStratton's history mirrors that of many large New England ski areas: independent founders run the ski area for decades; founders fall into financial peril and need private equity/banking rescue; bank sells to a giant out-of-state conglomerate; which then sells to another giant out-of-state conglomerate; which eventually turns into something else. In Stratton's case, Robert Wright/Frank Snyder -> Moore and Munger -> Japanese company Victoria USA -> Intrawest -> Alterra swallows the carcass of Intrawest. You can read all about it on New England Ski History.Here was Intrawest's roster, if you're curious:On Alterra's building bingeSince its 2018 founding, Alterra has invested aggressively in its properties: a 2.4-mile-long, $65 million gondola connecting Alpine Meadows to the Olympic side of Palisades Tahoe; $200 million in the massive Mahogany Ridge expansion and a three-mile-long gondola at Steamboat; and an untold fortune on Deer Valley's transformation into what will be the fourth-largest ski area in the United States. Plus new lifts all over the place, new snowmaking all over the place, new lodges all over the place. Well, all over the place except for at Stratton, until now.On Boyne and Vail's investments in New EnglandAmplifying Stratton Nation's pain is the fact that Alterra's two big New England competitors – Vail Resorts and Boyne Resorts – have built a combined 16 new lifts in the region over the past five years, including eight-place chairs at Loon and Sunday River (Boyne), and six-packs at Stowe, Okemo, and Mount Snow (Vail). They've also replaced highly problematic legacy chairs at Attitash (Vail) and Pleasant Mountain (Boyne). Boyne has also expanded terrain at Loon, Sunday River, and, most notably – by 400 acres – Sugarloaf. And it's worth noting that independents Waterville Valley and Killington have also dropped new sixers in recent years (Killington will build another next year). Meanwhile, Alterra's first chairlift just landed this summer, at Sugarbush, which is getting a fixed-grip quad to replace the Heaven's Gate triple.On gondola wind holdsJust in case you want to blame windholds on some nefarious corporate meddling, here's a video I took of Kirkwood's Cornice Express spinning in 50-mile-per-hour winds when Jones was running the resort last year. Every lift has its own distinct profile that determines how it manages wind.On shifting Ikon Pass accessWhen Alterra launched the Ikon Pass in 2018, the company limited Base Pass holders to five days at Stratton, with holiday blackouts. Ahead of the 2020-21 season, the company updated Base Pass access to unlimited days with those same holiday blackouts. Alterra and its partners have made several such changes in Ikon's seven years. I've made this nifty chart that tracks them all (if you missed the memo, Solitude just upgraded Ikon Base pass access to eliminate holiday blackouts):On historic Stratton lift ticket pricesAgain, New England Ski History has done a nice job documenting Stratton's year-to-year peak lift ticket rates:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Wie der frühere Gleitschirm-Weltmeister Andi Aebi einen sensationellen Rekord mit dem Motorschirm aufstellte +++ Die größten FAI-Dreiecke, die bisher mit dem Gleitschirm geflogen wurden, kommen auf rund 350 Kilometer. Auch bei zu Fuß gestarteten Motorschirmen liegen oder lagen die Rekorde für Dreiecksflüge in einem ähnlichen Bereich. Von daher war es schon eine imposante Ansage, die am 15. Juli 2024 in den Sozialen Medien die Runde machte. Da ist einer auf dem Weg, die 1000-Kilometer-Marke auf einem geschlossenen Dreieckskurs zu knacken. Wird er es schaffen? Die Livetracking-Leitungen glühten. Dieser eine ist kein Unbekannter in der Gleitschirmszene. Der Schweizer Andi Aebi war jahrelang Testpilot bei Advance, gewann 2008 den Paragliding World Cup und wurde 2009 Weltmeister. Wie er auf die Idee kam, nun mit dem Motorschirm auf Rekordjagd zu gehen, das erzählt er in dieser Episode 142 von Podz-Glidz. Und natürlich auch, was er dabei so erlebte. Denn ganz glatt verlief der Flug dann doch nicht. Dass Andi am Ende immerhin noch eine Strecke von 883 km als neuen Rekord zur Ratifizierung bei der FAI einreichen konnte, ist auch seiner großen Erfahrung und dem mentalen Training aus dem Gleischirm-Wettbewerbsfliegen zu verdanken. Überhaupt geht es hier nicht nur ums Motorschirmfliegen. Denn im Grunde hat Andi Aebi zwei Disziplinen fusioniert. Den Flug absolvierte er mit einem leistungsstarken Zweileiner, aber nur 13 Quadratmeter projizierter Fläche, um schnell und spritsparend durch die Lüfte zu reiten. Und so sprechen wir unter anderem auch darüber, wie sich Motor- und Freifliegerei gegenseitig befruchten können. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik: Track: Milky Way | Künstler: John Patitucci Youtube Audio Library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx13lIozG60 +++ Lu-Glidz Links: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Insta: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz +++ LINKS Andi Aebi: + Andi Aebis Flugschule Flugbasis: https://flugbasis.ch/ + Flugbasis auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flugbasis/ + FLugbasis auf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Flugbasis/ + Andis Rekordflug im XContest: https://paramotors.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:AirBaseOne/15.07.2024/03:45

Jeff Trang is a lifelong test pilot. His flying played a part in certificating some of the most widely-flown airframes today. For several years, Jeff was my boss here at Airbus; today, he's the head of the National Test Pilot School, a civilian test pilot training institute in the Mojave desert. 

What do the Sea Harrier, F-15B Eagle, X-32 JSF contestant, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Hawk all have in common?Well, not much, actually, except that they have all been flown by this week's guest, retired Royal Navy Commander Paul "Pebbles" Stone. As an Empire Test Pilots' School graduate, Pebbles flew all these aircraft and many more and spins quite a yarn about them with guest cohost Paul "Tremors" Tremelling.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Kevin Chilton grew up in So Cal near LAX and loved watching the planes come and go in his neighborhood. Some interesting events and people got him to USAFA where he excelled in academics but also got to know the tour pad. Upon graduation Kevin headed off to Columbia for his Master's in Mech Eng followed by UPT, RF-4 flying in Kadena which evolved to F-15's which led to Test Pilot school at Edwards, Eglin and eventually Houston and the NASA astronaut program. Three Shuttle rides in the 90's were followed by a return to the USAF where he had numerous interesting assignments including Commander of the Space Command at Offut. Kevin has some great stories and wisdom to share. You will enjoy this one. Oh, and he never accomplished his original goal of becoming an airline pilot but it appears things worked out anyway.

On Jan. 27, 1982, Test Pilot, Tom Morgenfeld took off from Area 51 for an avionics test flight in the YF-117A Stealth Fighter and lost his nose wheel. Flight control advised him to eject, but he managed to pull off an AMAZING landing that saved the aircraft, and kept the Stealth Fighter program on track. Hear his story, as well as all of the other amazing things that he accomplished as a test pilot of the F-18, F-117, YF-22A and X-35...some of the most incredible fighters that the world has ever seen! “SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.

In this episode, Lisa, Tony, and Wilson discuss:The critical role of getting involved in research and gaining experiences can play for students of all agesThe importance of student initiative and resilience in shaping successful future opportunities for your teen.The fascinating career path of NASA astronaut and Space Shuttle Pilot, Tony AntonelliHow to teach your teen email and LinkedIn etiquette to help connect them to people and opportunity.Key Takeaways: It's okay for students to be afraid - if a challenge is in the path of the thing you want to accomplish, you can push through to find success.People who love their job and like teens will step up and give your student time to talk about careers, but your student needs to ask.There are many paths to becoming an astronaut - it's not a one-path career. The same might be said for your student's passion. Support those passions.Encourage your teen to jump at many opportunities they're presented with. If it doesn't work out, something else will present itself.Your teen doesn't need to go to an Ivy League school to qualify for significant opportunities. Opportunities can be found anywhere. “It's not where you start. It's not what you struggle with. It's whether or not you're willing to put in the hard work to just push through your challenges.” – Tony AntonelliAbout Tony Antonelli: Tony serves as a mentor and scholarship selection committee member for the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. He is a retired Astronaut, Naval Aviator, and Test Pilot.Tony graduated with a BS in Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering from MIT in 1989 and a Master of Science in Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering from the University of Washington in 2002. Tony has accumulated over 4,700 flight hours in over 40 different kinds of aircraft and has completed 273 carrier-arrested landings. He is a Distinguished Graduate of the US Air Force Test Pilot School (Navy Exchange Pilot).Tony joined NASA in 2000 as a pilot astronaut candidate. A veteran of two space flights, Tony logged 24 days, 3 hours, 57 minutes, and 35 seconds in space.Tony retired from NASA in July 2015 and worked for six years at Lockheed Martin in various Executive roles.About Wilson Turner: Wilson is a 2022 Astronaut Scholar who graduated from the University of Chicago with degrees in Molecular Engineering and Chemistry.

This week on Test Pilot, the three dumbest people you know take a trip to Wisteria Lane to talk about the first episode of Desperate Housewives - Pilot (2004)

A Vans customer wonders what to do next, and a 172 pilot asks if carb heat is really necessary all the way to the ground. Plus, the best spark plugs, and a vexing gear issue are on tap for Mike, Paul, and Collen this time. Email podcasts@aopa.org to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Greg has a kit from Vans on order and he's wondering what to do next. He can replace his quick build wing kit with the small cracks installed, but he wants to know if he should order replacements. Paul said when sheet metal work is done on certified aircraft in the field, a lot of cracks naturally come up. Greg said a customer has to agree to accept the modified terms of the new contract, and you have to either accept what they send you, or spend money on a second kit. Paul said to deburr as little as possible. The goal is clean, sharp corners, not a knife edge that can cut the rivet. Just barely touch the hole, he said. Travis has an unusual gear problem. He was tasked with ferrying a Wheeler Express RG, an unusual experimental. On the ground the gear works perfectly, but when flying it won't reliably retract. The system is based on a Glasair 3, and Colleen said the Glasair racers have a similar experience with their airplanes at Reno. On a ferry flight the hydraulic fluid built pressure over a few hours, and Travis had to select the gear down lever in order to release the pressure. Paul said not to spend any more time on the system, and replace it with something from Cessna. Brian wants to get to the bottom of the fine wire and massive plug choice. His shop said he had to replace all 12 fine wire plugs at the last annual, all with around 800 hours on them. The shop recommended Temptest massives, which is what he did. He's wondering if there's really a difference in performance. Paul said fine wires tend to idle a little better and smoother. Corrosion was an issue on older Champion fine wires, which is what Brian had. And the ceramic is thicker on Tempest. Fine wires also last longer, usually long enough to cover the additional cost. Mike said they cost about four times as much, but last four times as long. He said some people also report smoother operation at very lean mixtures and small fuel economy improvements. Colleen has fine wire Tempests in her Cardinal but massives in her Skybolt. Her fine wires run a bit cleaner and don't need to be gapped. Brian has seen a larger EGT differential when flying lean of peak with the massives. Dennis has a 172 and he wants to know if it's really necessary to keep carb heat on all the way to the ground. Mike said a newer Lycoming Skyhawk is less susceptible to carb ice, but his Continental O-300 is much more likely to produce ice. He recommends installing a carb heat gauge if he really wants to avoid having the carb heat on longer than necessary.
