November 27, 2020#43 - Building a replica 1927 Supermarine S5 Seaplane
In the early 1900’s, seaplanes ruled the aviation world. World air speed records were held by single seat seaplanes almost the size of model airplanes but with engines that were the most powerful of their day.
In 1927, the Supermarine S5 seaplane took victory in the Schneider Trophy air race, and today, a team of people are building a replica of the famous seaplane, with the aim to fly it by the 100-year anniversary of the win. I spoke with project manager Will Hosie about their progress.

November 06, 2020#40 - Canadian Legend Steve Stackhouse
Steve Stackhouse is one of those guys you could sit down and have a beer with, and just talk seaplanes for hours and hours... and that we nearly did! His story is full of adventure, blind corners and fun!
Steve has amassed over 20,000 hours of flight time, an incredible feat. He has flown all around the world including his home country of Canada, the USA, the Maldives, American Samoa Saudi Arabia, Chad, Kenya, Sudan and most recently working with the Vietnamese military in Nha Trang.
Thanks to Steve for his amazing commitment to make this episode what it is, including many emails, text messages and phone calls.
