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

Hello all! We are back this week with Sun N Fun 2024 well underway. The biggest news so far of Sun N Fun for us is that the LIFT AV2.1 helmet is officially available for purchase! Also available is the Elevated apparel series from LIFT. Go check both of them out! We talk about performers like RJ Gritter and Greg Koontz flying Decathlons and Xtreme Decathlons respectively. Both are great acts. We talk about airshow performers, the good old days, sponsorships, etc. This was a fun episode and we save the best for last, a long overdue interview with Todd and Braydn Lentz from LIFT Aviation. We talk about helmet development, communication setups, the Elevated apparel line, and so much more. We really hope you enjoy this one!

Welcome back! This week we talk about a bit of the drama that unfolded this last couple weeks regarding the Extra 330SX and a lack of footage of showing it flying. Thankfully, we have seen a bit of footage and we hope to see more! We brainstorm a bit on teams that might get the SX, and some potential issues, like if the SC still remains the dominant unlimited monoplane at WAC. Will we see an SX this year at WAC?

Fly Good Merch is giving away four, 25 dollar gift certificates! For this week, the first person to message Jeff or Mark with the answer to the question of, what was the airplane Rob Holland flew in his first airshow, will get 25 dollars to Fly Good Merch!

Welcome back! This week we get a late start but we talk about some aerobatic airplanes and their worst and best qualities, and it is something we will wrap up next week maybe. We then had another potential intern, Tien Luu on the podcast to chat. Tien is an MSU team member, and he shares his story. He was super fun to have on. We hope you enjoy it!
