Meet the Host: JB gets interviewed by Ryan Dembroski

Justin Meaders 3-Time Formula One Champion to National STOL

Most people know Justin Meaders for the incredible story of returning to flight after the motorcycle accident that left him paraplegic. That story has been told well—including on Pilot to Pilot—so we took a different approach. In this episode, we focus on Justin the competitor: his years in Formula One air racing, his transition into the backcountry community and National STOL, the airplanes he's built and flown, and the mindset behind competing at a high level. If you've ever wondered what separates great performance pilots from the rest, this conversation is for you.

Meet the Host: JB gets interviewed by Ryan Dembroski

Season 4 kicks off with a bit of a role reversal...in response to your comments I decided to do a "meet the host" episode" and instead of me just talking to myself, I invited Ryan Dembroski back to the podcast (only 3-time voice on the pod).  Ryan takes a turn at the mic and asks me his toughest questions and we dive into my aviation story and what is coming next for the podcast.  This was fun to record and I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Jackie Burch flew her Taylorcraft to Alaska & the CubCrafters NX Cub to Oshkosh

Jackie Burch has been a longtime supporter of the podcast and connected me with a lot of the guests I've interviewed.  I finally convinced her to come on the podcast and talk about her aviation story and how she got started.  This is a fun listen that explores new pilot fears and how she handled piloting a Taylorcraft to Alaska as a new tailwheel pilot.  We also talk about her time with CubCrafters as their Programs and Events Manager and she talks about her love of the Cessna 150 she takes everywhere!
