  • Fly With Me Episode Unknown

    This is the audio portion of the last live show I did on April 29.  You can watch the video of it here.   The next live show is on May 13 at 5:00 PM Pacific time.  Watch here.

    My guest will be pilot/author Alex Stone. We will discuss his darkly comic "Hauling Checks" - a novel that takes the reader inside the world of the nighttime, shady operators of "Checkflight", a fictitious, but not entirely unrealistic, company of bad actors in the aviation world.  It's part "Catch-22", part "Fear and Loathing..." and nothing like any of the "Fly With Me" stories I produce.  This should be a fun one! Oh - the first two callers to the show via Skype will receive a free copy of Alex's book!

  • Fly With Me Episode 25

    How Does an Airplane (really) fly? You may think you know the answer to this question, but you might be surprised to hear what I learned while producing this episode. I worked together with Markus Voelter (omega tau podcast) to explore the question more accurately. If you don't already know the answer to this question, or aren't too technically inclined, don't worry. We try to simplify it enough to give you a good idea of what's going on. If nothing else, you'll spur an interesting conversation at your next cocktail party.Also, don't forget I'm planning a live video broadcast sometime soon.  Follow me on Twitter for updates:  @Joe_dEon

  • An Update (With an Insight Into the TSA Watch List)
    A Special Insight Into the TSA Watch ListThis is not a full episode, but rather a quick update with a special announcement, as well as an interview with a pilot who tells a rather surprising story about the watch list.  The special announcement is this:  I'm planning to do a live video broadcast via Ustream some time in the near future.  I'll post updates about it on Twitter:  http://twitter.com/Joe_dEonYou can also send me an email asking for a notification. I'll send out an email when I have a date and time established.  The email is this: --->  [my first name] podcaster @ gmail.com <--- (take out the spaces and substitute my name)

    Just a quick podcast to let you know I'll be posting soon. This one has a rather amusing short clip about a famous cockpit prank involving a "sextant".
