  • Leftist Sneaks podcast

    The German word 'fremdschĂ€men' sums up nicely the 'Airplane Geeks' listener experience. Multiple milquetoasts carry their useless politics, banner style, combined with that great killer of panel discussions everywhere — a furious hesitance to recognize when no one is saying anything material about the alleged topic. No, milk it for another 90 seconds of blefhthowitzing!

    Knew I'd heard the last of these drips when a supposed pro lawyer announced to the world that her canvassing for a legal exper... more

    Stay off the politics. We get you don’t like Trump. Talk about anything aviation related that doesn’t include politics. Jeez

  • Too political

    My first episode wasn’t even 5 min in and it got rather political. Should have read the reviews several say the same thing. Take the hint guys

  • Unlistenable

    The hosts are not engaging. Very sleepy.

    I’ve listened to two shows and won’t listen to anymore. The hosts apparently can’t help themselves from letting their political opinions not so subtly slip into reading the news.

907 Airshow Photography
Q: What led you to get into that area of photography?
Logan describes growing up around aviation, moving to Utah near Salt Lake International, and being drawn to air shows, which evolved into drone work and eventually founding Lynch Drone Photography as a way to combine aviation passion with photography.
902 Volunteer Pilots and ANR Headsets
Q: What is the Common Mission Board and how will it affect pilots who want to volunteer across multiple organizations?

900 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 Preview
Q: What are the notable new attractions or themes for AirVenture this year?
Dick Knapinski highlights the Red Arrows appearing at the festival, ongoing emphasis on American heritage through America 250 activities, and planned forums around new standards and training aircraft, signaling a blend of traditional air shows with future-facing technology and standards discussions.
898 Heart Aerospace Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft
Q: Why choose a hybrid system rather than a fully electric design for this aircraft?
Battery weight and energy density create limiting factors for pure electric regional jets; a hybrid system enables meaningful fuel and cost savings while maintaining the ability to operate with standard airport infrastructure and provide necessary reserves.
898 Heart Aerospace Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft
Q: What are the objectives of the demonstrator?
The demonstrator aims to prove that a clean-sheet, 30-seat regional aircraft can be tested at full scale, validating the hybrid-electric approach and the business case for a future production aircraft.
