My guest will be pilot/author Alex Stone. We will discuss his darkly comic "Hauling Checks" - a novel that takes the reader inside the world of the nighttime, shady operators of "Checkflight", a fictitious, but not entirely unrealistic, company of bad actor...

How Does an Airplane (really) fly?
You may think you know the answer to this question, but you might be surprised to hear what I learned while producing this episode. I worked together with Markus Voelter (omega tau podcast) to explore the question more accurately.
If you don't already know the answer to this question, or aren't too technically inclined, don't worry. We try to simplify it enough to give you a good idea of what's...
This is not a full episode, but rather a quick update with a special announcement, as well as an interview with a pilot who tells a rather surprising story about the watch list.
The special announcement is this: I'm planning to do a live video broadcast via Ustream some time in the near future. I'll post updates about it on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Joe_dEon
Becoming a pilot is not an easy path, and it takes motivation. Here are three true stories (and one totally made up one) about what motivated some of us to become pilots:
Kenya found herself on the wrong path, and needed someone to give her an ext...

This is what happened to the Rare Bear this year at the Reno Air Races. I could explain what happened here in these notes, but it's better to hear the story as it unfolds ...
... hear about a disgusting flight attendant trick ... take a trip inside the unofficial Vomit Comet ... plus hear another visit from Fly Guy.
The "Cadet Barf" story features music from Kevin Ross (Found at garageband.com)
This episode is a continuation of the theme from Episode 19 -- what happens when people have medical emergencies in flight. I speak with a doctor, a nurse, a flight attendant, and ... Jeanne.

Also, a message from SCAN Foundation: check out the fun walk/run on May 24th in Atlanta.
Stories of flight crew members who find themselves in the public eye , like one flight attendant who worked for National Airlines during their "Fly Me" ad campaign, and another who is a working actress.

If you heard my NPR piece about mergers today, you heard the Singing Skysisters. Well, there's more from them in this short episode as well as an announcement by me about my upcoming podcasts -- basically what I say is I'm creating a "podcast season" for myself to avoid podfading. So new episodes are coming March 1!
I also recorded solo performances (impromptu, on-the-road perfo...
For the 60th anniversary of the first supersonic flight, I had a slightly different take on the story than some other people had.
See Bob Hoover perform his "Energy Management" maneuver on Youtube.
