In this Episode of The Thermal, I speak to Dirk Corporaal…the winner of the 2022 FAI's Pirat Gehriger Diploma. Dirk has spent over 20 years writing and developing an exceptional student manual for glider pilots…that's now available in multiple languages.

And remembering a rock star of aviation and gliding…Einar Enevoldsen…the man behind the Perlan Project. His longtime friend Ed Warnock tells us about this remarkable man.

And a history flashback. Scott McGaugh the author of "The Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin"…puts us in the cockpit with American combat glider pilots and their missions in World War Two.

That's all on Episode #41 of The Thermal.
