Thu, 26 November 2009  This week we welcome our friend Lyn Freeman into the virtual hangar. Lyn is the founder of BuildAPlane, an organization that helps to match unfinished or damaged airplanes with high schools and other youth organizations, thus providing kids an opportunity to work on a real airplane. Some of these airplanes will never fly again, but some actually do! How exciting is that?! Lyn talks about how he started BuildAPlane, discusses how people can get involved, and gives a few examples of the many great stories related to BuildAPlane projects. Please see the BuildAPlane website for information about how to start a project in your school or youth organization, donate an airplane, donate products or services, or support this amazing organization that has the great mission of getting kids deeply involved with aviation. Also, you can become a fan of BuildAPlane on Facebook by clicking here. ATC: The Aviation Trivia Challenge

Wed, 18 November 2009  This is a special episode of PFPL. David is on-location at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Press Site for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-129 to the International Space Station. This QuickCast was recorded the day after the launch of Atlantis and the STS-129 crew. One of the Tweetup participants, Chris Floyd, flew his own Mooney Ovation 3 from Northern California all the way to Florida. Chris is one of the guys who really "gets" general aviation, and he takes great pride in spreading his enthusiasm and excitement to others. This QuickCast is cockpit audio of the last few minutes of a flight David took with Chris in his gorgeous Mooney. And we do mean gorgeous. Thanks Chris for taking me up! -David Follow Chris on Twitter: http://twitter.com/cmfloyd NASA has really embraced social media.

Tue, 17 November 2009  This is a special episode of PFPL. David is on-location at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Press Site for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-129 to the International Space Station. This QuickCast was recorded only a couple of hours after the launch of Atlantis during the bus ride back to the KARS Park I parking area. With the shuttle launch - and the feelings it inspired - still fresh in everyone's mind, David asked everyone in the rear half of the bus for their first impressions of the launch. This episode is, simply, their answers. NASA has really embraced social media. As part of this, they have arranged several Tweet-Ups with various agencies.

Wed, 16 September 2009 In our first episode after having returned home from EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2009, we welcome Brenden back into the virtual hangar. Brenden made an apperance on episode 14 when he was the President Elect of the Oregon Pilot's Association. During that episode, Brenden vowed to come back and tell us about getting his helicopter rating once he finished it. Well, here he is with a fresh helicopter rating to give us an insight into flying them. Will and David would like to make a couple of special shoutouts this week. First, we'd like to thank Jeb Burnside of The Uncontrolled Airspace Podcast for giving David a ride to Airventure in his Beechcraft Debonair. This was David's first trip to Oshkosh, and Jeb's unending generosity made the trip that much more amazing. Secondly, Will and David would like to thank Steve Tupper and Scott Cannizzaro for the continued use of the Thunderbird Groove on this podcast. But wait, there's more. During the jam session at Firebase myTransponder at Oshkosh, Scott turns to me and says, "Oh by the way, I'm going to make you a new mix that will work better for the podcast." How cool is that?! You will hear Scott's podcast-friendly mix of the Thunderbird Groove at the beginning if this episode. As always, please stay in touch with us. You can find both Will and David on Twitter. You can email us for comments, suggestions, or to be a guest at pilotsflightpodlog@gmail.com. You can also leave comments right on the podcast page at http://pilotwill.libsyn.com.
