The team is at HAI speaking with "The Pilots Lounge" hosts Nick and Spencer. This is a collaboration of their 41st episode. The Brotallion guys are doing great things for the DoD community and strike an immediate rapport with Sam and Nick. The Brotallion team runs a non-profit for Army Gold Star Families, run a podcast "aimed at bringing aviators from aroun the world together" (sound familiar? We're copying them!) and overall are working hard for aviators from all walks of life. Check out this weeks episode and check these guys out on social media @Brotallion and their merch supporting the non-profit: Blue Skies Collection.

We plan to release shows on a bi-weekly basis. On Fridays of course!

Uh oh, we are the ones being interviewed this time. Nick, Sam, and Ryan sit down on the other side of the microphone to be interviewed by Jason Quinn, USCG Rescue Swimmer 500 and host of The Real ResQ Podcast (@therealresq). He graciously allowed us to post his show on our forum as well! Go check him out as his stories are incredible! We discuss first and most memorable SAR cases while diving in to lessons learned and techniques. Mr. Mark Whalberg may get a shout out as well.

The team is a bit busy right now recording at the Women in Aviation conference as well as preparing to go out to the Heli Expo (Booth B4562)! So here is a flashback of our most popular episode discussing Methods of Instruction. It was a very casual conversation of us sitting around a table chatting about the thing we love. Aviation.

We moved the P-course wardroom stories to the podcast booth this week. But the crew may have pre-gamed in the wardroom with some "woorfoord reserve"... Thanks LCDR Anders Manley, LT Ryan O'neill and LT Cori Sanchez for the relaxed and fun story time!

If you want to feel motivated by greatness as a pilot or aviator, look no further than the king of us all. Fred North has years of flight time under his belt and no longer has to think while he flies. Sam and Kenny nerd out on his experiences and look for ways we can all improve ourselves.

The suspense is over! We finish up with the Humboldt crew as they begin their second sortie attempting to pull their survivor off the cliff face while at night and surrounded by power lines and other obstacles.

Offline we got into a cool discussion about Recognition Primed Decision Making (RPDM) and how it can assist training and decision making in unique situations. Huge shout out to CDR Ben Walton (ret.) and Shea for bringing it up again so we could share to all of you! Video below!

We're back to our roots with this one as we dive into the heroics of this Humboldt Bay aircrew. We have LCDR Shea Quinn, LT Jonathan Thomas, AST1 Nick Kemp, and AET3 Reed Schneider join us for part one of their amazing story. Decision-making, CRM, an excellent training program, and supreme airmanship are all on display with this one! We know you'll enoy it.

Ever wonder what it's like on the other side of the radar scope? Kenny and Sam host Derek Vento, a New York City air traffic controller, to hear all about what it means to coordinate flights through some of the world's busiest airspace. And they get to learn just how bad they sound on the radio. Check out Derek's podcast 'The Traffic Pattern' to hear even more stories of aviation's finest. Hope you enjoy!

DATA CALL: Sam and Kenny want to know all the records in the fleet. Overtorques, people, goats, dogs, pee bag usage, flap overspeed, any and all records you think you may hold. Send them to any of the crew: Sam, Kenny or Ryan!

Back in the studio again! This time we decided to sit back, relax, and have another patio beers session. This series is about those low-key "pilot meetings" that happen to take place on the back patio of your local establishment. This time Rob Mineo and Nick Litchfield join Sam and Kenny. We get a couple cold calls in, this time talking about unicorns and SAR cases.
