Fly Cool Shit - An Aviation Podcast About Flying Cool Shit Mark Pollard & Jeff Petrocelli

Welcome back! This week we talk warbirds with Loren Marburg. Loren is a friend so it was great to catch up and get to know him better. We get into T-6 flying, bombers, aerobatic and ferry flights, and so much more. We also talk about the two Electra crashes, most notably the second crash with Vido which shows that either the tailwheel was left unlocked, or the locking pin sheered, causing the airplane to veer off the runway. We wish everyone a speedy recovery!
