Episode 442: We’re back at the Avalon Air Show


Listen Later

We’re back, babies (well, at least for this year :) ).

Steve and Grant are at the Avalon Air Show 2017 and they interview Ben Morgan, CEO of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Australia who is working hard to increase membership and champion improvements to the General, Recreation and Sport aviation environments in Australia.

They also talk about the arrival of Australia’s first two F-35A aircraft (A35-001 and A35-002) that made their public debut at the show. Yes, they’re loud. Yay! :)

Meanwhile, this show Steve and Grant are working at the air show on tasks other than Plane Crazy Down Under:

  • Grant’s attending workshops, having business development meetings and presenting to senior RAAF staff.
  • Steve’s hosting video interviews for AOPA Australia, including:
  • Aminta Hennessy OAM talks about what GA today are facing
  • AOPA Australia chats to Craig Morrison from Benalla Aviation Museum in the Studio
  • AOPA Australia speaks to Garmin

That’s about it for this year’s episode. We’ll be back next year … maybe :)
