The Pilot's Flight PodLog
Pilots and aviation enthusiasts like to fly, naturally. When they aren't flying, they like to talk about flying. Come join us in the virtual hangar for a little hangar-flying!
 

On this episode, we start by getting a not-so short update of the progress of the Flight For the Human Spirit. Michael and Michele Combs join us in to tell the story of the trip from from Wilmington, Virginia to California. We discuss the visit to the Keys, then home to Texas, followed by some adventures on the way to Oshkosh.

After we wrap up with Michael and Michele, we bring Rob and Brad, the two chief pilot's from Virgin America Airlines, into the hangar to talk flying the heavy iron. We discuss how Virgin has differentiated themselves form other airlines, how Rob and Brad got started with flying, and where they are going from here.

We also subject both Rob and Brad to a round of Dream Hangar, followed by two questions for ATC: The Aviation Trivia Challenge.

As always, we would like to thank Steve Tupper and Scott Cannizzaro for the theme song for this podcast.
