Born in Henderson Nevada, Christine found herself in Seattle Washington to earn a degree in computer science. But her inspiration from living in Boeing country, her visits to Oshkosh with her father, and her love of the 787 pushed her over the edge to become a pilot. She switched schools and degrees, and began flying [...]

We had a chat to Santa a few days ago. He spoke to us about the preparation leading up to Christmas day. Santa’s sobriety was somewhat questionable at the time of our discussion. As such, he was a little politically and culturally insensitive. It’s probably best not to listen if you’re somebody that’s sensitive to [...]
Kellie is learning to fly at Bankstown based Red Baron Flight Training. Len Costa and I had a chat with Kellie regarding her initial research into her flying training and her limited experience thus far. At the time of recording Kellie has accrued 7 hours of basic flight training. Formerly known as Sydney Aerobatic School, [...]
This was an early discussion recorded for inclusion on the now (semi-retired) FlyingTraining.net. The flight training site was always intended to be a media resource for student pilots but was ‘consolidated’ into flight.org (along with CrewResourceManagement.com) for no other reason than time management purposes. In this audio file, we chat with Karlene Petitt and Ken [...]
Our friend, Karlene Petitt, is involved with an initiative to get 2010 female pilots introduced to aviation. It’s been 100 years since the first woman earned her pilots license. To celebrate this anniversary, Mireille Goyer had a vision of introducing 2010 new girls and women to aviation this year. For all who signed up, only [...]

The second series is released as part of Qantas’ 90th Anniversary birthday and cover the history of the organisation dating back to the [...]
The real story about a cargo fire indication that forced Northwest airlines Flight 41 to divert into Iran was never told in any detail. The airline did a wonderful job of silencing the crew on board the airliner to the point where most employees were – and remain – blissfully unaware that one of their [...]
Between trying to record and produce for an Australian based aviation TV program, podcasting (which is taking for more time than any of our participants ever expected – due in part to the extroadinary popularity of it after only one episode) and a hectic international schedule, the posts to this blog have dropped off a [...]
Overview Almost 10 years ago to the day, Andrew Thorley was ferrying a Lightwing ‘Sport’ ultralight from Ballina (on the far north coast of NSW) to the Oaks Airfield (about an hours drive to the west of Sydney). There were a number of aggregated errors and oversights throughout the flight that found Andy over the [...]
The large number of emails asking us why we haven’t posted anything must mean that people are reading! The three primary people behind flight.org and its subsidiary websites are heavily involved in a number of other projects – including a pilot for Australian TV, podcast, and a few other websites currently in development – and, [...]

We may have another host join us shortly in an attempt to broaden our global mix of presenters but, at this stage, we’re sticking with what we have until [...]
