We're back! 

Welcome to the highly anticipated first episode of Season 2 of Up and Away, the Australian Aviation Podcast!

This week I'm joined by Henry Ellis! Henry operates a seaplane company down at the waterfront in Hobart called Above & Beyond Tasmania, where he offers charters, joy flights, and day trips in his de Havilland Beaver. When Henry isn't flying the Beaver he is also a Boeing 737 pilot with Virgin Australia.

I was lucky enough to go visit Henry in Hobart over Christmas and go for a fly with him, which happened to be my first ever trip in a seaplane. It was unreal! We then recorded this episode a few months ago, when I was back in Melbourne, but I'm glad I finally have the chance to share it all with you.

Check out Above & Beyond Tasmania on their website: www.aboveandbeyond.flights.

This episode is the final episode of Season 1 of the show! It's been an absolute pleasure making this show for you all this year, and I can't wait to get even more Australian aviation content out to you all next year!

We talk about what it's like flying helicopters, her recent experience flying for LifeFlight, as well as her vast range of operations she has undertaken while in the Navy flying the MRH90, including search and rescue, medevac, as well as humanitarian and disaster relief operations both here in Australia and overseas.

Welcome to Episode 14 of Up and Away, the Australian aviation podcast!

This week on the show we are joined by TWO guests! You might already know both of them due to their legendary status producing another Australian aviation Podcast... it's Steve Visscher and Grant McHerron from Plane Crazy Down Under!

Steve and Grant started PCDU in 2009 and aired their last show in 2017. During that time they produced a tonne of amazing content, and the show is a big inspiration for the show you see before you right now!

We have a chat about their favourite episodes over the years, what it's like covering the Avalon Airshow, the challenges they faced producing such a large volume of high-quality content, what they are currently up to (including Grant's dance music... you heard me correctly!), and what it would take for there to be a PCDU reunion!

You can check out and listen to Plane Crazy Down Under here: www.planecrazydownunder.com

Welcome to Episode 13 of Up and Away, the Australian aviation podcast!

This week it's my absolute pleasure to say we are joined by RAAF Wing Commander Marija Jovanovich!

Maz has had a stellar career in the Royal Australian Airforce as a P3 Orion pilot and a test pilot. She is now about to take command of No. 10 Squadron, where her career as a P3 pilot first began!

The sheer amount of aircraft she has flown as pilot in command is just crazy, from the F-18 to the MiG-15, her story is truly inspiring. We talk about her operational history, her experience at USAF Test Pilot School, tackling mental challenges in intense environments, and the future possibilities of Australian space exploration.
