Our story starts with me standing in a hangar. A really big hangar. Actually, it’s more like a movie set. A movie set, with rides, and and F-14 and an SR71, but they’re not props though, they’re real…

I’m not on a movie set at all though, I’m in a museum. A museum they call the Zoo. And I’m in Michigan.

Follow along all week as the story unfolds. 

Today, hear from former Lockheed Skunk Works Director and Historian, Steve Justice. Plus, Pilots B.C. Thomas and Ed Yeilding tell us what it was like to hold a blackbird steady for 20 minutes for a refueling. What it was like to mess with Fidel Castro from 80,000 feet, to make the final Blackbird flight, while setting a world record speed run, and to deliver a piece of history to Washington. And what it’s like to see 3 sunsets and sunrises in an hour, while looking down into the eye of a hurricane.

Special thanks go to Jamie Pleune for kicking this all off.

And to Air Zoo CEO Troy for Hosting me, and giving me free rein to record this spectacular weekend.

Thank you Abby for being an amazing co-producer!

And thanks to Nikki, Nate, and Rebecca. For turning the chaos into magic. ...and for introducing me to Blackbird Porter.

By the time you’re hearing this, I’ll be getting ready for my first annual recurrent training in the Piper M600 Meridian, and I’m getting into mentoring and instructing in them as well. And don’t worry, this isn’t going to be some self indulgent salvo about how cool they are. Well, ok, maybe we’ll talk A LITTLE about how cool they are, but there’s a bit more to it than that. Quite a bit more actually. But we’re going to be real about it, because there are a few elephants in the room…

Today is July 25th which is, of course, the anniversary of that tragedy. The crash signaled the beginning of the end of Concorde, and the end of the era of supersonic commercial air travel.

This is an all time personal favorite episode, and one of the all time most downloaded episodes as well.

John is an amazing person who has lived a life that most aviation people can only dream of, culminating in the combined professions of being not only a British Airways Concorde Captain, but a BBC Broadcaster as well. Envy barely begins to cover it for me…

If you’re interested in learning more about John, please consider clicking on the link in the show notes to purchase his autobiography, The Wind Beneath My Wings written by Susan Ottaway. It’s amazing!

And, if you’ve not listened to episodes 33-36 of this podcast which I called Concorde week, please go back and listen to learn more about John’s career, Concorde in its heyday, and other amazing stories, including hanging out with the royal family, as told by John himself.

Until next time…. GOOOOD Day!
