Pyjama Pilots

#18 Flaps, Floats, and Poor Life Choices


Listen Later

The boys are back on the mics and straight into it. Jimbo’s been ping-ponging between NZ and Aussie, Hoodie’s barely alive after Pearl Jam, and Pedro is halfway between a half-marathon and a meltdown.

This episode somehow manages to cover:

• the “10 accidents in 10 weeks” saga• why pilots aren’t always the problem (management... hello)• flap checks, hopper pops, and learning the hard way• fake IDs, tequila disasters, and legendary hangovers• new composite firebombers that look like something out of Planes• ATPLs no one wants to pay for• floats, survey flying, and CFG headaches• plus the usual roasting, reminiscing, and barely-appropriate stories


It’s chaotic, honest, aviation-nerdy, and very on-brand.
Grab a drink (but not raro-tequila), settle in, and enjoy the ride.
