Episode# 9

Andy — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 03:07:00 GMT

This s our post AZ Flying Circus show. We cover some upcoming events, and talk about the AFC. Matt talks about his flight down into the copper mine. We were both in the same room for this show so quality is better, but I didnt know that my cell ph was causing that annoying buzz,buzz beep thing until after we were finished. I had to cut a couple mins right at the beginning, but otherwise this is an unedited show.

Thanks
Andy

Very laid back show, drags a little in the beginning, but we have a lot of fun talking with Terry L and Gary Carter. We cover the upcoming AZ flyin, and Terry tells of his adventures at the Paratoys show. This is also the first show I have posted with zero editing ( I had an edited version, but my computer crashed and I was to lazy to do it over...lol) See you in AZ!

Episode #3
We continue refining our format, and work at finding a good flow. We cover some more details of our upcoming trip to AZ, and Matt talks about his most recent flight. We interview (listen actually) to Terry Lutke talk about his ppg history and the CT 4 stroke. Terry is a easy interview and a covers all sorts of good stuff. This one runs long but its worth it.
As always your comments are welcome!

This is our first podcast, Matt was fighting a serious cold, and I was Johnny talks alot, but we got through it. We learned tons and hopefully they will get better. We are hoping to post these every Mon. Please post you comments and suggestions. We will be working through the list of whos who in our little sport and giving our take on all sorts of stuff PPG, and ultralight in general. Doing this really makes you aware of how much work goes into it, and gives a new respect for people that can do it well...
