Gliders – From Hell to Namibia and Back Again with John Harte – Audio Episode Show Notes
April 18, 2020 by Leave a Comment
John Harte is the chief instructor at Sandhill Soaring Club in Gregory, Michigan, just a few miles down the road from Hell. (Hell, Michigan, that is.) He’s the guy responsible for the hard left turn into gliders that I took in 2012, including obtaining my glider rating (Part 1 and Part 2), becoming an airshow pilot, and ultimately becoming a glider instructor. He has also flown extensively with FOD, giving him instruction in glider operations and formation flying.
John and I sat down on a recent evening in our respective sequestered locations and talked about gliders, John’s path in aviation, his trips to Bitterwasser to fly above the Kalahari Desert, and airshow operations.
Hangar Flying with Kent Shook – Audio Episode Show Notes

We’re all sequestered in our homes due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. That’s bad. But it means that a number of the original aviation podcasters are a little more available than they might otherwise be and that’s good.
So I called up Kent Shook of The Pilotcast and we recorded a little more than an hour of hangar flying. We caught up from a few years of not hanging out much, which was pretty cool.
