Yak 54!

Formation - Yak 54 and Marchetti SF260

On final at Half Moon Bay for the 2010 Dream Machines show

The idea:  Keep things short and simple for our second podcast episode – a “quick” cast if you will.

The reality:  Everything from InvertedCast is confusing and goes by in a blur – it only seems quick because we’re so exciting!

The result:  The Zwiebel-cast!!!

Join the dynamic duo as they talk about the miracle between the pilons, uncontrolled airport ops, accelerated flight training and of course, spins.  Listen to reveal who our next exciting podcast guest will be and also find out what Derek will be bringing to Half Moon Bay on Sunday!

Rockets, chutes and composites combine with controversary in the riveting conclusion to Part 1 of the inagural InvertedCast podcast!

So what do you do when you start a PodCast?  Do you go for class and style or do you try to form a PodCast Dream Team that makes your first PodCast SO AWESOME, it needs to be split into two episodes?!

We chose:  Form the DREAM TEAM (forget class and style)!

Will Hawkins from The Pilot’s Flight PodLog and Steve Tupper from Airspeed join Mark Pollard and Derek de Oliveira to form a PodCast Dream Team in InvertedCast’s first episode!  We talk about it all:  Aerobatics, Instrument ratings, Becoming a pilot, and that’s just in the first couple minutes!

Listen to the PodCast to get more info on two VERY interesting movie projects,  A Pilot’s Story (Wilco Films production) and AcroCamp (Steve Tupper) and find out what Mark’s drinking this time!
