Thanks Kent! Your wonderful podcast is the reason why I got into podcasting, we still suck a lot though lol.

Cool! Does that mean I get a Pitts ride next time I'm out your way?
I don't think I'd fit in a Pitts, but if you can squeeze Will in I think I can get in, we're about the same size...

Hi Mark! Welcome to POA. My aviation roots are in the Bay Area. Although I don't live there any more I get back there pretty frequently.

If not, we will put you in the Marchetti, or Waco, or Great Lakes. Something cool for sure!
Honestly not sure if I can get Will in the front but I will sure try!

Ooh, I would LOVE to get some time in a Marchetti!
Let me know how that goes! Like I said, we're about the same size, and some people have told me "no freakin' way." But I can get into a J-3 Cub, so there is hope.

Are you at the place that operates out of Livermore? If so I think I've been in that Waco.

Once you are in, there is a fair amount of room (assuming a "typical" S2) - it's the getting in (and out) that can be entertaining for us old fat people.

A little Marchetti formation

Well, my biggest worry is if you can get the canopy closed while my head is still attached. I'm 6'4" and while I do fit in a J-3, I do *NOT* fit in a DA20 (head) or a C152 (legs).

Nice. Very nice! Welcome aboard.
Yeah I can see the Bay Area marine layer below you. At some point, I'd like to sell the Tiger and get into a partnership on an SF-260. I think its one of the most fascinating planes within reach of many pilots, but also has some practicality in getting places (to a degree). Its frustrating in the Tiger, which is a very nimble and fun aircraft to fly, but you just can't roll it or pull some g's in maneuvers.

I recognize the Waco! I have pictures of it somewhere and also about a 40 minute video. I knew that there were cameras mounted but pretty much forgot about them during the flight until I saw the finished product. It's weird to listen to yourself...Here is a formation you dont see everyday... I am in the Marchetti my buddy Rhett in the Waco. This was over SF.

Welcome inverted!
I would like to thank you for stopping by. These podcasts are great. I am still fairly new to aviation, and I feel like some of these could be valuable learning tools.

Tossing in my welcome, and also the "lusting" over the Marchetti. Definitely going to have to visit you in SF.
