In this episode, I continue with part 2 of my conversation with airshow legend Wayne Handley.

Wayne turns his attention to badass pilot babes Melissa Burns, Vicky Benzing, and Sarah Dallaire.

A little preview:

Melissa Burns – Aerobatic badass, Air Racer World Championship racer in training, skydiver, base jumper, rock climber, Alaskan bush pilot, mom of two insanely adorable kids.

Vicky Benzing – Flies just about anything with (and without) wings including a P-51 Mustang, Stearman open cockpit biplane, L-29 jet, fast high performance and aerobatic aircraft, plus helicopters. She’s a PhD, ATP, airshow performer, air racer, and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Sarah Dallaire – Number 2 woman ever to fly with the elite Canadian Air Force Snowbird demonstration squadron. Also, literally one of most skilled pilots Wayne has ever known.

In addition to tales of talents and achievements of the above babes, in this episode, you will also learn:

-Just exactly what the hell a “Beaver Simulator” is.

-Speaking of animals, how coyotes are a great aviation training tool.

-The not-so-secret society Wayne formed and how one gained entry to the club.

-Some Beth flying with Wayne moderate to severe flying buffoonery (buffoonery all mine).
