Welcome back! This week, we sit down with one of the best Extra maintainers, knowledge bases, and one helluva aerobatic pilot. We talk WAC and all the changes that came with it, as well as his perspective on the IAC and the aerobatic teams. We talk about the Extra 200, 300, 300S, SC, SX, and NG. This was so much fun!

Welcome back! This week, we continue to talk about maintenance and supporting some legacy aerobatic aircraft like the Extra. We also talk about composite aircraft and the fact that, as of now, the NG has a life limit of 1500 hours. Crazy! We also talk about aircraft development and how it seems like peak aircraft performance has been achieved. We hope you enjoy this!

Welcome back! This week, we chat about Sun N Fun, the Sebring contest, and most of all, we chat about parachutes and BRS, and how they relate to egress. It is a fun discussion to think about the use of a BRS in aerobatic platforms. Think they are going to be standard equipment someday?

Welcome back! Happy 2026! This week, we talk about Gamebird and how they need a single-seat, experimental offering to compete with the likes of Extra. Our fears of MX suffering with the loss of Rob Holland brought us to the idea of Gamebird buying MX and producing it. We talk about the 2026 season, as well as WAC coming up. Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back! This has been a long time coming. We finally have the Aussie legend, Paul Bennet of Paul Bennet Airshows, on the podcast. Paul is in the States for ICAS, which means he plans on bringing more acts to the U.S. in 2026. We talk about his unique airshow empire and all the different aircraft and acts he oversees. This is also a very biplane-heavy podcast, so listener discretion is advised ;)
