This week and in the episodes to come, FlightCast celebrates women in aviation! We’re excited to launch this series starting with Infinite Flight Developer and private pilot, Laura Laban.  As an added bonus, we had the pleasure of also chatting with CRJ-900 Captain, Erika Delong. Both Erika and Laura are not only pilots but they’re in a small group of women aviators who are also transgender.  On the heals of International Women’s Day, and International Transgender Day of Visibility, we were delighted to talk to these two ladies to hear their stories.

When a flight sim meets real world aviation enthusiasts you sometimes end up with a bunch of weirdos who love to do their job in their spare time too.  Only for pretend. For real world (almost) pilot, Brandon, and US Air Force Air Traffic Controller, The O.P. this is what they do; airplanes for real and again on Infinite Flight. And just for fun, we threw Seb and Joe into the mix.  The result in this episode is a bunch of nonsense, sprinkled with some aviation gold and Infinite Flight global talk.  Please enjoy, and I’m sorry.

Building and flying kit planes can be a very rewarding way to fly, and according to this week’s guests, the only way to fly. On this week’s episode, Jason invited local private pilots Cam Murch, Bob Fisher, and Glenn Suggitt to his home in Parry Sound, Ontario for a 2-part interview on flying home built airplanes. Between the three of them, these guys own a pair of Murphy Rebels and a Zenith STOL CH 801. Join Jason and Mark as they explore the world of flying home built aircraft in northern Ontario.

If you’re an avgeek, the words “plane spotting” and “de-icing” will make your ears perk up. Scheduling this interview was an exercise in patience, since Jan Jasinski is a very busy man. As a remarkable, published aviation photographer, Jan’s love for aviation doesn’t stop there. He works as de-icing bay lead at Ottawa Macdonald—Cartier International Airport in Ontario Canada. Not sure what a bay lead does? Neither did we until we sat down for this feature chat with Jan, who also happens to be training for his private pilot’s license.  Join us as we get a glimpse into what it takes to be a professional plane spotter.

Flying turboprops in Canada can be an exciting and rewarding career path. Certainly many of us avgeeks have dreamed of taking the controls of a Cessna 208 or Dash-8. For Duncan Gillespie, this was exactly the right path. In a continuation of our real world pilot series, Jason and Mark had a chat with Duncan to learn how he went from a love of flying to First Office aboard the Q400 with Air Canada Express operator, Sky Regional in Toronto. Duncan started his career with Cameron Air, and from there moved to Porter Airlines, and finally Sky Regional. Listen in as he takes us through flying into Toronto Island at Billy Bishop Airport, how he got started, and even some technical details of flying the Q. Featured image courtesy of Duncan Gillespie.
