The P-51 is alive and well thanks to a select group mechanics, owners and fliers who keep them in the air today. At Oshkosh, I heard a bit about them.

Craig Fuller has done much for the freedom and growth of aviation. Always an advocate, this former AOPA President is still fighting for pilots today.

If the danger of being a fighter pilot in WWII isn't enough challenge for you, imagine facing racial discrimination as well. That's the Tuskegee Airmen.

You know him for the film One Six Right. His next film, Living in the Age of Airplanes is now in theaters nation wide. Inspiring to say the least!

Kim Furst is a well known filmmaker. Her latest film tells the life of Bob Hoover (who was on the last podcast) in great, inspiring detail. #TEAMHOOVER

Bob Hoover, one of the remaining true - and best aviators of all time, speaks of his time in the war, flight testing and more. This guy is unreal!

"Houston, we have a problem"- a phrase almost anyone can tell you came from Apollo 13. AviatorCast was at an event with Apollo 13 Astronauts, and recorded the session.

Today's Flight Plan

The last month of aviation is one to be remembered. Starting with Oshkosh where AviatorCast picked up a lot of great interviews, it now seems Summer is coming to a close having just celebrated National Aviation Day.

To celebrate National Aviation Day (at least the week thereof), we have a very special treat. Today we are releasing 8 episodes of AviatorCast for your listening pleasure, with more to come soon.

All of these episodes cam from our time at Oshkosh where we were able to pickup interviews and listen in on some interviews of top notch people.

We know you'll enjoy some of these, if not all.

We call this the '8 Point Roll'. Being an aviation term that all acrobatic pilots will know, we're using the '8 Point Roll' to quickly roll out 8 episodes.

They are as follows:

Apollo 13 Panel

Bob Hoover Interview

Kim Furst (Flying the Feathered Edge) Interview

Brian Terwilliger (Flying in the Age of Airplanes) Interview

Charles McGee - Tuskegee Airman Interview

Craig Fuller Interview

P51s in Review

Ed Bolen Interview

Crew
