Welcome back! This has been a long time coming. We finally have the Aussie legend, Paul Bennet of Paul Bennet Airshows, on the podcast. Paul is in the States for ICAS, which means he plans on bringing more acts to the U.S. in 2026. We talk about his unique airshow empire and all the different aircraft and acts he oversees. This is also a very biplane-heavy podcast, so listener discretion is advised ;)

Happy Thanksgiving from FCS! This week, we talk about airplane prices, the state of the market, and how backlogged good A&Ps are. We get into random other stuff, too. Enjoy!

Welcome back. This week, we dedicate this episode to Warren Cilliers, who tragically passed away in an Extra 330SC while practicing at Keystone airport. Our hearts go out to his wife, his son, and his friends and family. This tragedy really highlights how bad this year has been for the aerobatic and aviation community. We talk about the future of aerobatics and airshows, and what 2026 might look like with all the changes this year.
