Well, this was actually going to be an off month for the podcast given all the events taking place. But with some time on a layover at DFW decided to make a quick trip report from the Society of Experimental Test Pilots Annual Symposium and Banquet. Forgive the background noise and non-standard format as the episode was mostly done with what I had on my smartphone in the airport.
