Video Podcast at Airspeed Online

I am a big follower of aviation podcasts. There are 3 main podcasts that I listen to as soon as updates come out, and a few other that I keep for days when I just want to day dream. One of my favorites is Airspeed. The pilot that puts this out is Stephen Force (sometimes know as Tupper). Last summer at the Airventure convention in Oshkosh, WI, Capt. Force was given the privilage of flying a Cessna Citation Jet with the help of a Cessna demo pilot. Capt. Force recently uploaded the video he took from the flight. I don't know how anyone could watch this video and not get goosebumps. If  you love aviation, you will love this video. Check it out at: Airspeed: Cessna Citation Mustang - Video Episode

Well....

I am not finding time to get back to this blog as much as I wanted, but hey, I am actually typing up a second post. Hopefully, it will be like a plane in a pitch down attitude, just building up airspeed.



Speeding of Airspeed, I wanted to relay something I heard in one of the podcasts I listen to. I am a very avid podcast listener. If you were to look at my Ipod, you will find more podcast than music on it. A majority of the podcasts are aviation related podcasts. Ok, I realized that I set myself up for a segway, and then immediately went off on a tangent. One of the podcasts I listen to regularly is "Airspeed" by Stephen Force, but is just as well know by his real name, Stephen Tupper. Steve has just put out a casting call of a indie movie he wants to make on a shoestring budget. The movie is going to be call "Acro Camp" with the idea of recording a group of private pilots going through there first taste of acrobatic training. Steve is looking at setting up four straight days of this camp, and he plans on having video and audio equipment on hand to turn it into a movie down the road. To get all of the details, go to his website at http://airspeedonline.blogspot.com/. There you can get all of the details on the camp. This sounds really cool, but I am not sure I would be interested in something like this, reguardless of the cost. Since I have only taken one (introductory) lesson, my only thoughts are just to get into a plane with an instructor. That right now is something that is 1,000 miles down the road for me, so anything past that don't not penetrate the grey matter between the ears.



Well, that is enough for one evening. I hope on the next post to layout what I feel the "misson" of this blog will be.

First Blog

Well, I have finally done it. I have created my own blog. Although I am somewhat computer savy, this whole blog thing has been a little foreign to me. I have to give credit to my wife who has passively inspired me to create this. My purpose for this blog is to give me an outlet for my love of aviation. I was one of those children that would stop where ever I was and look up when I heard the sounds of an airplane flying over. Even though I am much older, married and have 3 boys, I still can't help stopping and looking up into the sky.

Just wanted to drop a first post into the blog to get things rolling. I will be back to add much more in the coming weeks.
