Pioneer of Scenario Training May 25th, 2015

It's always nice to talk with people who have made a name for themselves in the world of aviation.  That certainly includes Jeff Van West, who, as former editor of IFR Magazine became a household name to many pilots.  Jeff has moved on to be the director of Redbird Media, and continues to be a thought leader in our special community.   Listen in as Marc and Al talk with Jeff about the philosophies of successful aviation instruction, which includes fun.  For example, Redbird's Flying Challenge Cup (flyingchallengecup.com) promises a lot of fun to pilot and non-pilot alike, with a chance to win a trip to the cup finals at Oshkosh 2014!!!  That may be you!

Our friends at BoldMethod (BoldMethod.com) joined us to hear and chime in on Trevor's very unusual runway encounter with a runway-based wedding photo shoot.  Let the celebration begin.  And check out their website as they launch their course on "E" airspace.

No time for current events this week, but Al did announce Marc's achievement of his stated goal to take and pass the Commercial knowledge test (scoring a 96).  Now on to prepping for the practical and oral exam.

Thanks for listening.  Wishing you strong tailwinds and blue skies!
