• Lee explains how he shifted his aircraft mission from family transportation to personal enjoyment
• Detailed comparison between Husky's modern design and better cruise speed versus Super Cub's lighter weight and heritage appeal
• Scott advocates for the humble Cessna 150 as the practical alternative that meets the same basic mission
• Discussion of the emotional aspects of airplane ownership that often override practical considerations
• Lee reveals his final choice: a 90-horsepower Super Cub with no electrical system, weighing just 760 pounds
• Examination of recent aviation accidents including the Blackhawk/CRJ collision and runway incursions
• Safety discussion about treating all propellers as "hot" regardless of ignition switch position
• Debate about whether AI air traffic control could prevent accidents in the future
• The hosts reflect on why NOTAMs have returned to being "Notices to Airmen" rather than "Air Missions"

Scott is drinking his new synthetic alcohol (R 1,3 butanediol) so we'll see how that goes.

The FAR AIM Podcast will continue on an occasional basis - likely quarterly - as the hosts' schedules permit.

Ready for a sky-rocketing adventure into the world of aviation? We've got an episode lined with intriguing insights and exciting tales of navigating through thunderstorms and airfield gradients. One moment we're dodging weather anomalies, and the next, we're making a calculated take-off from a challenging Virginia airport. Along the way, we'll share how flight simulator games aren't just for fun but can also be a practical tool to sharpen piloting skills.

As we soar through the skies of aviation, we also venture into the crucial aspects of flight safety. We zero in on the importance of proper gear from life jackets to Mustang Survival inflatable jackets, the role of planning for wind conditions, altitude, and the indispensable value of a life raft in emergencies. We even have an entertaining debate on the legality of drinking while flying an ultralight vehicle, making you rethink the implications of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Our journey doesn't end there. We dip our toes into water activity preparations, discussing the essential gear for safe flying over bodies of water. Hear us compare Mustang and Gumby suits and their role in cold weather conditions. Plus, we've got a fun twist for you - a Bud Light comparison, German vs American. Now, who wouldn't want to know about that? Buckle up, and join us as we navigate the turbulent and thrilling skies of aviation.

Ever laughed so hard you had to pause and catch your breath? Prepare to be tickled pink as we read out a five-star review by the intriguingly named Pilot Hunter V.

Pull up a chair, lend an ear and let us regale you with our funny conjectures about Pilot Hunter V’s profession and our shared disdain for airlines. As we navigate through the episode, listen in on our good-humored bantering about our preference for bicycles over congested "big tubes" that are airplanes. Feel free to chuckle along as we react to Pilot Hunter V’s tongue-in-cheek request for country music, sparking an entertaining discourse about our music source, Epidemic Sound. Hold onto your seats as this episode takes an unexpected turn with the consideration of changing our intro and outro music.

Ever wished for a chance to have your reviews read aloud by your favorite podcast hosts? Well, Sean Yee from Pittsburgh got that chance in our latest episode! Sean is currently navigating through Sporty's online ground school and shared with us his thoughts on our blend of humor, advice, and hearty debates. We were so amused by his engaging review, we even had a good laugh trying out various pronunciations of his name. 

We then got a bit nostalgic, reminiscing about our own flight training experiences. I, Scott, shared about my time in Sporty's program while my co-host fondly remembered his older learning method involving VHS tapes from the King school. Who would have thought that we’d be in an era where most people learn to fly from YouTube videos? This walk down memory lane brought some laughs as we playfully bickered about our partners' trust issues when it comes to our flying abilities. Join us for these light-hearted discussions, personal stories, and insights on the contemporary ways of learning to fly.
