During my years of flying and flight test I learned a lot about safety and making decisions relative to risk.  But what good does any of that do me in everyday life?  Well, turns out it comes in handy.

Tell us about a way you apply flight safety to your everyday life.

This month we talk with test pilot Roger "Dodge" Bailey about flying the incredible assortment of aircraft in the Shuttleworth collection.  They fly these aircraft every summer in public demonstrations.  He discusses unique characteristics of those aircraft, their approach to training pilots/maintaining currency, and the occasional need to conduct flight tests on those aircraft.

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.

In this Episode we look back in history at a historic flight of the X-15 and pick up our flight test discussion about 3Q.

In this episode I go out on location for a flight test safety discussion about predicting the future, assessing safety culture and more. Join Mark Jones Jr., Vanessa Rebello, and myself at the 3rd Planet Mothership for part 1 of this interview.  (I even get to be one of the interviewees for a little bit)
