Germany4 years ago - Fantastic podcast on European STOL community
Before discovering this podcast I didn’t know we have such a lively STOL community in Europe. I followed adventures of Trent Palmer on Youtube, wondering if people like that are in Europe. Now I know about at least 10 people like that in several different countries. Maxime does the great job interviewing them and bringing up fantastic story from European backcountry.

I was surprised to see a podcast for such a niche subject and couldn’t be more stoked. The interviews are interesting and engaging. Can’t wait to see who comes on in future episodes. I’m not affiliated but an interview with some of the Flying Cowboys out of the western US would be awesome. Cheers!

United States5 years ago - What is the website for the “Northerner Aircraft” that you talk about ?
You mentioned an aircraft called the Northerner more than once, when I google it I find nothing. Is there a website for it ? Is there photos of it? Who makes it? Where is it made ?
Thx

Apple Podcasts5Ingo_MaierGermany5 years ago - Flying Frontiers Episode
I just listened to the episode with Craig Lang from Flying Frontiers. It was absolutely fantastic. I was lucky enough to fly a safari with Craig in September 2019. I have been fortunate to experience some unique flying during my career but I can honestly say this was the most thrilling week of flying I have ever enjoyed. I thought the podcast did a wonderful job highlighting this experience and as always, Craig did a great job articulating what his company has to offer. I am looking forward to m... more
