Mit der Ablösung der legendären Lockheed P‑3 Orion beginnt für die deutschen Marineflieger eine neue Ära. In Episode 21 von Barnstormers Broadcasting werfen wir einen seltenen Blick hinter die Kulissen dieser Transformation – vom turbopropgetriebenen U-Jagd-Klassiker hin zum hochmodernen Jet-Seefernaufklärer Boeing P‑8 Poseidon. Zu Gast ist Stefan, Soldat der Marineflieger und Techniker mit einer bemerkenswerten Perspektive: Er hat auf beiden Mustern gearbeitet. Im Gespräch schildert er aus erster Hand, wie sich Wartung, Technik und Einsatzphilosophie zwischen Orion und Poseidon unterscheiden – und was der Systemwechsel für das Personal am Boden bedeutet. Wir sprechen über die Besonderheiten der in die Jahre gekommenen P-3-Flotte, über typische technische Herausforderungen eines Seefernaufklärers im täglichen Dienstbetrieb und darüber, wie sich die Arbeit mit der neuen P-8 verändert. Welche Systeme wurden modernisiert? Wie unterscheidet sich die Wartungslogik eines viermotorigen Turboprops von der eines zweistrahligen Jet-Derivats auf Basis der Verkehrsflugzeugplattform? Und was bedeutet dieser Schritt für die Zukunft der deutschen maritimen Luftaufklärung? Diese Episode verbindet Technik, Einsatzrealität und persönliche Erfahrungen – direkt aus der Welt der Marineflieger. Sponsor der Episode: Diese Folge wird präsentiert von Klassiker der Luftfahrt – dem Magazin für historische Flugzeuge, Luftfahrtgeschichte und außergewöhnliche Geschichten aus der Welt der Warbirds und Klassiker der Lüfte. Barnstormers Broadcasting – Geschichten aus der Luftfahrt, erzählt von den Menschen, die sie erleben.

WARBIRD RADIO - Historic airplanes have a way of commanding attention in the air. On the ground, their survival depends on something quieter: organization.On Episode 3 of Season 17 of WarbirdRadio.com, Kristin Schaick, executive director of EAA Warbirds of America, speaks plainly about what she believes the next chapter of warbird preservation requires: more hangars, more local organization and more people willing to step forward.The Warbirds of America division operates under the umbrella of the Experimental Aircraft Association, a global organization of more than 300,000 members in over 100 countries. Its AirVenture gathering each summer may be aviation's most visible celebration, but Schaick's focus is on what happens the other 51 weeks of the year.“We need more Warbirds of America Hangars,” she says during the conversation.These hangars are local chapters — structured communities formed around historic military aircraft and the people who care for them. In Schaick's telling, they serve as connective tissue: linking owners to maintenance expertise, pairing younger mechanics with aging masters of fabric and radial engines, and offering veterans and their families a place where the stories attached to these aircraft are understood.The barriers to starting one, she insists, are lower than many assume. A small group of committed individuals, a defined mission and alignment with national standards are often enough to begin. What matters most is momentum.Across the country, warbirds often sit in isolation — a T-6 tucked into the corner of a county airport, a P-51 maintained by a shrinking circle of specialists. Without deliberate organization, knowledge fades. When it disappears, it rarely returns.Schaick, making her first appearance on Warbird Radio, traces her own path to the role. Her background reflects a blend of operational understanding and nonprofit leadership, but her emphasis is less on résumé lines than on responsibility. Preservation, she suggests, is not about reverence for the past alone. It is about creating systems that make continuity possible.If hangars represent the local infrastructure, advocacy represents the national one.Joining the episode is Sean Elliott, vice president of advocacy and safety for the Experimental Aircraft Association. Elliott outlines regulatory challenges that will shape general aviation in 2026 — pressures that extend well beyond the warbird community.Certification pathways, operational rules and broader federal oversight are evolving. The effects will be felt by vintage aircraft operators, homebuilders, flight schools and private owners alike. Elliott's message is measured but direct: engagement is not optional.The regulatory environment does not distinguish between a polished Mustang and a modest two-seat trainer. Policy written in Washington affects both. And in an era when costs are rising and margins are tightening, clarity and representation matter.For organizations like EAA and its Warbirds of America division, scale provides leverage. Membership numbers translate into voice. But voice requires participation.The episode does not trade in spectacle. There are no engine failures recounted, no dramatic rescues. Instead, it examines the quieter mechanics of survival — the administrative frameworks and legal advocacy that allow the spectacle to exist at all.Warbirds, for all their thunder, depend on ordinary acts: meeting minutes, safety briefings, insurance renewals and mentorship sessions that stretch long past sunset.Schaick's call for more hangars is, in effect, a call for more stewards. Elliott's warning about regulatory headwinds is a reminder that history does not protect itself.The airplanes may draw the crowds. But it is organization, discipline and local leadership that will determine whether they continue to fly.For those interested in establishing a Warbirds of America Hangar in their own community, additional information is available through EAA Warbirds of America.Episode 3 of Season 17 is available now at WarbirdRadio.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/warbird-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

WARBIRD RADIO - The seventeenth season of Warbird Radio opens not with spectacle, but with sobriety. Last year, during what should have been a routine flight in a P-51 Mustang, veteran airshow pilot Jim Pietz encountered one of aviation's most unforgiving emergencies: an in-flight fire. In an aircraft designed in the crucible of World War II, where systems are mechanical and margins can be thin, smoke in the cockpit is not an abstraction. It is immediate. It is disorienting. It is measured in seconds.What followed, as Pietz recounts in a candid conversation that anchors the 2026 premiere of Warbird Radio, was not improvisation but preparation. A former Chairman of the International Council of Air Shows, Pietz is widely regarded as a pilot's pilot — an instructor, mentor and trusted adviser to some of the most accomplished aviators in the airshow community. His response in that moment reflected decades of disciplined training and a deep familiarity with the performance characteristics of the airplane he was flying. What might have been instantly fatal became survivable.In the interview, Pietz resists dramatizing the event. There is no theatrical retelling, no indulgence in adrenaline. Instead, he speaks plainly about decision-making under pressure and the culture that makes such decisions possible. Warbirds, he notes, are neither forgiving nor sentimental machines. They reward precision and preparation; they expose complacency without hesitation.The conversation does not end with the emergency itself. Later in the season, Warbird Radio will return to the incident, widening the lens beyond the cockpit to examine maintenance practices, inspection culture and the sometimes uncomfortable but necessary candor that underpins safe operations. In a sector where aircraft are both historic artifacts and active flying machines, transparency is not merely professional courtesy. It is preservation.The episode opens, fittingly, on another front of stewardship. Josh Wells, executive director of Doc's Friends, joins the program to discuss the ongoing work of operating one of only two airworthy B-29 Superfortresses in the world, B-29 Doc. Keeping such an aircraft aloft is as much an exercise in organizational leadership as in mechanical aptitude. It requires volunteers, donors, logistical planning and an unrelenting commitment to standards that honor both history and safety.Wells outlines the aircraft's upcoming tour and the network of support that sustains it, underscoring a central truth of the warbird community: these airplanes do not fly by nostalgia alone. They fly because individuals accept responsibility — for systems, for teams and for the legacy embodied in aluminum and rivets.Taken together, the two conversations establish a theme for the season ahead. Whether confronting an emergency in a high-performance fighter or preparing a 141-foot wingspan bomber for public display, the work hinges on leadership under pressure and humility in preparation. The spectacle of flight may capture the public imagination, but it is the discipline behind the scenes that determines whether these aircraft endure.Season 17 begins there — in the seconds that matter, and in the steady work that makes those seconds survivable.#warbirdradio #warbirds #p51mustang #b29doc #b29Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/warbird-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Warbirds to Workhorses: Bob and Keith's Book of Flight Tests

Winter Warbirds 2026 Join the guys this week as they attend Winter Warbirds 2026 in Phoenix, AZ.  This years events were blessed with great weather and 88+ pilots who brought out their gear to fly.  Pacific Jets brought their F-22 and F-18 and Banana Hobby  brought out the JetRuler Gripen Jet. Also on hand was Global Jet Club P-47 in the black and silver scheme that they debuted at last years event.  Also out this year was the T38 that made an incredible showing.  With great weather and great pilots the event was a huge success.  Everyone had a blast and the airplanes were amazing.  

Guest: Andy Love Hosts: Dave Homewood Recorded: 2nd of February 2026 Released: 2nd of February 2026 Duration:  44 minutes 58 seconds In this episode Andy Love, air display coordinator of the upcoming Warbirds Over Wanaka 2026 International Airshow gives a rundown of what the public can expect to see, and he warns that tickets are selling out fast. The three-day show over Easter Weekend – 3rd to 5th of April 2026 – is looking to be a very good one with some spectacular flying acts lined up. Easter Saturday is now fully sold out but there are still General Admission and Silver Pass tickets available for Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

So yesterday the Otago Daily Times ran an article about the thoughts of Grant Kitto, a former Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) worker. Grant Kitto argues that showcasing the USAF F-22 Raptor at Warbirds Over Wānaka effectively legitimises US military power and the weapons systems that have been used in conflicts where civilians were killed. The Raptor is made by Lockheed Martin and back in 2015 incident, a US Air Force gun ship —also built by Lockheed Martin— attacked a Doctors Without Borders hospital, killing 42 people, including 14 staff members. He also worries the huge emissions from the planes. A local councillor echoed his concerns and said that the current global environment was not good for a display of US military power. And he said because this is kit in current use, it makes a difference compared to the older planes. What a load of tosh. Firstly I guess the giveaway is the name of the event: Warbirds. This is a celebration of war machines, but more so the ingenuity of the people who built the amazing planes. And I wonder where all the dissent was back in the day when American F16s visited, the Australian F-111s. How about the Soviet-era MIGs, which at the time were the height of weapons of mass destruction? What about the Vulcan bombers that have killed thousands? Or even the mighty Spitfire? Do these guys also have a problem with shooting at the Olympics, or Archery? The javelin is based on spear work. I understand the concern but the thing I'd say is maybe it's better to understand the weapon rather than ban it. And maybe it's not the planes or the guns that do the killing, it's the people controlling it. And the F22 Raptor is a mid bogglingly good piece of kit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warbirds Over Wanaka is bringing some of the world's most advanced fighter jets to the South Island this Easter - but not everyone will be cheering. Katie Todd reports.

A historic first for Warbirds Over Wanaka this Easter. One of the world's most advanced fighter jets, the US Air Force F-22 Raptor, will appear on all three days of the April air show. It's the only US-built fighter never sold overseas, and this will be its first visit to New Zealand. General Manager Ed Taylor told Andrew Dickens the demonstration will showcase the aircraft's full capabilities, and it'll be unbelievably loud and ground-shaking.

We're opening the vault for another Happy Hour—this one from 2021 with retired U.S. Navy Captain Matthew “Tom” Maxwell.Tom flew numerous World War II– and Korean War–era aircraft from carriers around the world before eventually finding his way into his favorite platform: the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior. In the “Whale,” he famously saved a fuel-starved F-8 by breaking the rules and refueling the Crusader over North Vietnam, getting the pilot safely back “feet wet.”He was also aboard USS Oriskany during the devastating October 1966 fire that claimed the lives of 44 sailors. Tom captured these stories and many others in his memoir Grandfather's Journal: A Grandson's Journey into His Grandfather's Life, a short and delightful read naval aviation aficionados will enjoy.Sadly, Tom passed away a year after this Happy Hour originally aired and now rests at Arlington National Cemetery.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Lang leve de Airshow! De Airshow is méér dan een mooie herinnering. Vraag het maar aan Martin Schoonderbeek. De man achter de Wings of Freedom airshow op een weiland in Ede! Martin is een ware Top Gun in Balanceren van Prioriteiten. De Serieuze Spotter plezieren. De Kenner behagen. De Standhouder tevreden houden. En vooral ook het klootjesvolk massaal doen toestromen, al kan dat geen Concorde van een Spitfire onderscheiden. Een kwaliteit die hij deelt met Ed de Bruijn die vele jaren lang de grootste vliegshow van Nederland programmeerde en ongelofelijke vliegtuigen naar Nederland haalde. Alsof dat nog niet genoeg is wist hij Texel te overspoelen met tienduizenden kijkers naar zijn Texel Airshow die zijn vliegveld en het eiland ver oversteeg. Wat te denken van Tom van der Meulen. Trotse tweede generatie bezitter en vlieger van Oostwold Airport. Hij haalde – bijna – een compleet squadron Warbirds naar dat kleine dorp in het mooie Groningen.Meesters zijn Ed, Tom en Martin in het bijeenbrengen van unieke vliegtuigen, in het bespelen van sponsoren en misschien wel het allerbelangrijkste: de Overheid te vriend houden, met haar eindeloze regels en voorschriften: Lokaal, Provinciaal en Landelijk. Martin Schoonderbeek weet hoe het moet. Tom laat zich niet kisten en Ed, die krijgt het voor elkaar. Maar het is wel uiterst gecompliceerd. Dat leggen ze uit aan Goof & Goot. En aan u, natuurlijk, als u tenminste wil luisteren!

Host Nik Fialka welcomes Stan Fisher — Naval Academy professor, PhD, aviator, and author of Sustaining the Carrier War — for a deep dive into the untold story of aircraft maintenance during World War II. Together, they explore how the U.S. Navy transformed from a fledgling aviation force in the 1930s into a dominant carrier-based power in the Pacific. Stan takes us beyond dogfights and carrier landings to uncover the vast network of training schools, technical manuals, and industrial support that made sustained naval airpower possible in the Pacific theater. From corrosion control and carrier operations to industrial mobilization, this conversation highlights the innovation and grit that made victory possible. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How naval aviation evolved in the 1930s and 1940s The overlooked role of maintainers and enlisted technicians in WWII The Navy's shift from wood to metal aircraft — and the challenges it brought The development of maintenance protocols and standards How logistics and training paved the path to victory The contributions of the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) program Some legendary Pensacola aviation lore (yes, Trader Jon's gets a shout-out!)  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

Young Guns of Warbirds: Job Savage and Friends Bring Fresh Energy to Vintage AviationWARBIRD RADIO - If you've spent any time around the warbird community, you know it's built on passion—passion for history, for flight, and for keeping these incredible machines in the air. But keeping that passion alive for the next generation? That's a challenge. Fortunately, a new wave of young aviators and restorers are stepping up, bringing fresh energy to the movement, and leading the charge is none other than Job Savage.On this episode of Warbird Radio, we sit down with Job and his flying buddy Luke Hedin, two young pilots who are making waves in the vintage military aircraft world. Their enthusiasm is undeniable, and their commitment to honoring history through hands-on flying and restoration work is nothing short of inspiring. From stick-and-rudder flying to wrench-turning in the hangar, these guys are all in.Later in the episode, we catch up with Job's father, serial entrepreneur and aviation publisher Tim Savage. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and Tim's lifelong dedication to aviation has clearly influenced Job's passion. But what's most impressive isn't just their personal involvement—it's their generosity in opening doors for others. The Savage's and their friends understand that for this movement to thrive, it has to grow. That means creating opportunities for young pilots, maintenance professionals, and restoration experts to get involved, learn the ropes, and carry the torch forward.Their love of all things warbirds is infectious, and hopefully, their generosity is contagious. Our community needs more young hands on the controls and under the cowling, and seeing what the Savage's are doing is proof that the next generation is ready to take flight.Adding to their efforts, the Savage's are now offering DC-3 flight training and type ratings, further expanding opportunities for aspiring aviators. You can learn more at DC3Experience.org and find out more about their 501c3 museum operations by visiting Vintage Flying Machines on social media.Take a listen to this episode, and then get involved!

WARBIRD RADIO - If there were ever a real-life Indiana Jones for the warbird community, it'd be Jay Wisler. Instead of dodging booby traps and uncovering lost temples, Jay has spent over four decades scouring the globe in search of something just as precious—vintage warbird parts. From the dusty corners of forgotten warehouses to the bustling hangars of world-class restoration shops, Jay's relentless quest has helped keep historic aircraft flying for generations.On this episode of Warbird Radio, Matt Jolley sits down with Jay Wisler to talk about his legendary career in the warbird parts industry. Since 1982, Jay's company, Warbird Parts and Memorabilia, has been the go-to source for hard-to-find aircraft components. Before selling his massive inventory to Fagen Fighters Restorations, Jay managed nine warehouses filled to the brim with parts essential to the restoration of iconic aircraft like the North American P-51 Mustang. If you've ever admired an award-winning warbird at Oshkosh or any major airshow, there's a good chance some of Jay's parts helped bring it back to life.His passion for Mustangs is no secret, and when asked about his favorite project, Jay doesn't hesitate: Jack Roush's P-51B, Old Crow. Over the years, he's supplied parts for countless Mustang restorations, ensuring that these legendary fighters remain a fixture in the skies. His philosophy—“If I don't have it, I'll help you find it”—has made him a beloved figure in the warbird community, and in 2014, he was rightfully inducted into the EAA Warbirds Hall of Fame.But Jay isn't just looking back—he's looking ahead. He believes the future of warbird restoration is in good hands with people like Erik Hokuf, founder of AirCorps Aviation. Erik also joins Matt on this episode to discuss the future of warbird restorations, parts manufacturing, and how his team is carrying the torch forward. Based in Bemidji, Minnesota, AirCorps Aviation has become an industry leader, blending precision craftsmanship with modern technology to keep vintage aircraft flying. From FAA Part 21 PMA-certified parts to full-scale restorations, Erik and his team are shaping the next chapter in warbird history.Don't miss this fascinating conversation as Matt Jolley dives into the stories behind the parts, the people, and the passion that fuels the warbird restoration world.

Warbird Radio to Feature ICAS President John Cudahy on the Popularity of Vintage Military Aircraft at AirshowsWARBIRD RADIO - On this episode Warbird Radio is set to welcome John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), to discuss what the latest data reveals about the popularity of vintage military aircraft at airshows across the United States. The conversation will focus on findings from the 2023 Spectator Survey conducted by ICAS, which indicates that static warbird displays have seen a 4.7% decline in spectator interest since 2018, and when you factor in the 2000-2016 average, they've fallen 7.2% overall. Warbirds in general saw a bump of 3.4% in 2018 over the 2000-2016 average but have since fallen from 44.7% to 42.5% in 2023. Despite this dip, warbirds remain the third most popular attraction at airshows according to Cudahy, demonstrating their continued significance in the airshow industry. However, this downward trend raises important questions: What does it mean for the future of warbirds at airshows, and how can operators work to reverse it ahead of the 2025 US Spectator Survey?Joining the discussion is Dik Daso, Executive Director of the Air Force Historical Foundation and former Curator of Modern Military at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Daso brings an optimistic perspective and fresh ideas on how to reinvigorate public interest in warbirds. He will also serve as the featured speaker at this year's National Warbird Operators Conference (NWOC) in Dallas, where these critical topics will be explored in greater depth.Warbird Radio host Matt Jolley points out an ironic challenge facing warbird operators: the very thing they often find frustrating about airshows—spectators running up to touch their aircraft—could actually be a golden opportunity. Daso points out that tactile learning—even smell—is a huge part of the way children create memories. Jolley adds that the Spectator Survey supports this, with data showing RC airplanes (something accessible to young folks) have risen in popularity by over 10% since 2018. Modern military interest is up over 15% as well, reflecting the fact that things people can relate to drive popularity.Jolley, who is not only the host of Warbird Radio but also a top U.S.-based airshow announcer, brings an industry insider's perspective to this topic as well. He recalls how, as a kid, the smell of oil and avgas at an airshow would stick with him long after the engines cooled down, and how standing under the wing of a B-17 gave him a sense of history no book ever could. It's moments like those that forge lasting connections, and with fewer living veterans to share firsthand experiences, it is now up to operators and enthusiasts to bridge the gap and keep these stories alive for new generations. The key, Jolley argues, is to adapt storytelling methods to modern audiences, engaging them in ways that resonate and ensure these historic aircraft remain relevant.With the next ICAS Spectator Survey scheduled for 2025, now is the time for the warbird community to mobilize. The hard work of engaging audiences could yield tangible results in next year's data, helping secure the place of warbirds at airshows for years to come.To register for NWOC and be part of the conversation, click the link below.

I will never forget growing up hearing my dad talk about his days flying P-51 and P-40 planes. His walls were covered in model planes of classic war birds, as though he was trying to relive his youth. When he passed away, I inherited a bunch of model planes he'd never gotten around to building. He was in the Air Force his entire life, retiring as a Lt. Colonel, and talking with today's guest has brought back so many memories. Brett Schauf, the owner of T&J Studios, in Wichita, Kansas, is a commercial, portrait and fine art photographer, but in addition to his commercial and portrait work Brett has been able to produce a collection of fine art prints featuring Landscape, Travel, and Aviation photography. Since 2015 Brett has been the lead photographer for the B-29 Doc, a restored World War II B-29 bomber, and man.... it's a beautiful plane. This gig has given Brett the opportunity to travel as a crew member, documenting the plane, crew, visitors and the many veterans who visit Doc on tour. So, while I started by introducing Brett as a commercial, portrait and fine art photographer, today's focus will be the Aviation photography. From aviation manufacturers and publications, to industry leaders, businesses and entertainers, Brett's commercial client list keeps him pretty busy, so I am so grateful he was able to set aside some time to talk to us about how he captures these rare classic warbirds. And a quick thank you to Dr. T from Platypod for introducing us. Join commercial, portrait. fine art, and arial photographer Brett Schauf and me as we talk about how he captures his stunning images of classic warbirds, like the B-29 Doc. Brett shares his passion for capturing dynamic lighting and vibrant colors, whether in landscapes or mid-air. He also provides insights into the technical aspects and creative process behind his aerial shots. Join us for a conversation that offers valuable tips and inspiration for photographers at all levels, on this Behind the Shot.

Warbirds and Classics AZ This week we join AZ Mike and Shannon at the warbirds and classics 2024 held here in Phoenix, AZ. We are joined by special guest Scott Berryman from Boulder, CO. This is Scotts first warbirds and classics event and we discuss our favorite planes and the flying we were able to do and some of the amazing things we saw during the event. During our show some event goers decided to ground test a Panther turbine in the background and tried to overpower our show! But we pushed through it. We are sorry for the turbine noise during our recording. But we had loads of fun and enjoyed having Scott on the show. Thanks to all who attended and we look forward to your comments and suggestions. Thanks for joining us and we look forward to your continued support.

The Wanaka chamber of commerce said Easter trading rules are crazy and need to change, after two local supermarkets broke the law to stay open during the region's busiest weekend of the year. Thanks to the long weekend and Warbirds over Wanaka the area was heaving with visitors. New World Wanaka and New World Three parks opened as usual on Friday and Sunday, even though they don't have an exemption or essential store status. The stores have been fined before for breaching the Shop trading Hours Act. Parent company foodstuffs said while Wanaka is part of the Queenstown Lakes District Council and Queenstown has an exemption to trade over Easter; Wanaka is not included.
