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 ;)

Happy Thanksgiving from FCS! This week, we talk about airplane prices, the state of the market, and how backlogged good A&Ps are. We get into random other stuff, too. Enjoy!
