    Ep 204 - Interview with Paul Bennet

    Would you like to know more? Flick me a message! If you’ve ever been to an airshow in Australia lately, chances are you’ve seen this man in action—pushing his Wolf Pitts to its limits, delivering precision aerobatics, displaying pristine warbirds and putting on a show with his team that leaves crowds absolutely speechless. But behind those displays is a lifetime of work… from the early days of learning to fly, to mastering aerobatics, building one of the most impressive warbird fleets in the country, and performing on some of the biggest stages in the world—including EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. We’ll talk about what really goes into an aerial display, the reality of running an airshow, and importantly, we’ll talk about legacy… flying alongside his son Jett, and what the future looks like. This is a great conversation with a true professional of the industry.

    Ep 201 - The Rising Costs of Aviation

    Would you like to know more? Flick me a message! The cost of operating in Australian aviation — whether you’re a student working toward your CPL, a private pilot trying to keep current, or an operator running a training fleet — has risen sharply over the past few years. It’s not one thing. It’s everything, all at once. And for a sector that was already running on tight margins before COVID, the compounding effect of these increases is genuinely threatening the accessibility and viability of general aviation in this country. In this episode I want to break down each of the major cost pressures, talk about what it means for operators, pilots, and students, and finish with some practical budgeting strategies for those trying to stay airborne.
