Pilot's Log Podcast number 15 includes highlights from the 4/12/08 Burnet, TX airshow.  The spotlight interview for this episode features Capt. Paul Fiala.  Capt. Fiala is the Manager and chief pilot for the King Ranch, a great pilot, and a frequent airshow performer in his Great Lakes Bi-plane.  Snoopy loves to watch him fly.  Listen closely to find out why.

Interview with Julie Clark at the Commemorative Airforce Airsho 2006. I talk about the Blue Bonnet air show at Burnet Texas on April 12,2008 and about planning for this years trip to Oshkosh.

Interview with Col Joe Levinson USA Ret.

William interviews Ralph Royce.  Ralph is the Airboss at the Commemorative Air Force Airsho '07 in Midland, Texas, as well as many other air shows across the nation.  Following the interview with Ralph, you get to hear him in action.  William hooked the recorder up to the intercom system of the U-11A.  You get to hear what the pilots hear as they are flying the airshow, and Ralph works his magic, keeping the show flowing and safe.

Interview with Pat and Karen McClure.  Pat talks about his flying experience and very scary in-flight emergency in his replica Kate torpedo bomber.  Karen talks about the importance of wives being active and supportive in their husband's hobbies.  And Pat talks about flying safety.  William and Mike open the podcast talking about their recent flight to Midland, Texas, by way of Abilene, Texas.  They discuss a very interesting place to eat in Abilene, surrounded by airplane parts and Chuck Yeager's signature.  They lament the poor flight conditions due to high headwinds, causing slow ground speed and a bumpy ride.

My first podcast in more than a year. My Daughter is here with me so I am putting something out... Enjoy
