PCDU Episode 44: Hannes, Bas and the Rhino

In an effort to reassure you that we’re not trying to cut any corners as we build towards our 50th episode, this episode comes in at over 2 hours in length (our longest ever, in fact). It’s jam packed with great content, including:

A chat with Bas Scheffers about:
The impact of the Class D changes at Parafield
The flying he’s been doing lately in his Evektor Sportstar
The Parafield Airshow
How the Aeroscene Flying Group is going
A review of some of the latest RA-Aus developments (Recreational Aviation Australia)
A chat with Hannes Arch (Red Bull Air Race pilot) where we discuss his 2010 season and his plans for 2011/2012
An interview with an F-18F pilot that David Vanderhoof recorded at the Oceana Air Show
A discussion between Steve & David about the history of the F-18, its current status with the Super Hornet (aka Rhino) and the implications of the F-35 JSF
Controllers Corner #2
The View from the Lounge: “Monkey in Business”
We read some mail & forum items:
