About this episode
Broadcasting from a cold hangar at Fairmont Airport, the gang unites in-person for their 100th episode spectacular non-event! Join the original "Chairman Emeritus" Chris Moran (who now prefers conducting symphonies to podcasts), Brian (who claims learning to land with only lap belts builds character), Ben (inventor of the "emergency fuel-venting seven-mile left base"), Ted (representing the "other" coast that apparently exists), and Mark "One Dull/Wendell" Geek (master of conflating tail numbers into entirely new aircraft types) for a night of hangar-based chaos. Even Luke "It's Just One Landing" makes a special appearance to document the questionable decision-making. Featuring questionable radio calls that would make any controller weep, special notes from CFI Nate Ballard, Badger, and RH - and Luke's casual observation from the backseat about "skywriting" fuel. Plus, hear an epic phonetic alphabet rant about "Tree-Fower-Fife," and Chris's totally spontaneous (wink) sales pitch for his Cherokee 235. Come for the celebration, stay for the camaraderie. As they say in West Virginia: if you can learn to land here, you can land anywhere! Warning: May contain excessive references to pepperoni rolls, PBR, and Ben's limpy microphone stand Mentioned on the show: * Luke's Landing, great aviation videos, watch "best hot dog": https://www.youtube.com/@lukeslanding2230 * West Virginia's Babydog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babydog
