Airshows Downunder Shellharbour’s Post

This has all the #FridayFlying vibes! Words of wisdom from this King Air pilot with over 20,000 hours takes the time to mentor new and old pilots. "To have a safe, healthy, and successful career, it’s a combination of listening to your inner voice and not being afraid to speak up, without regard to whatever power imbalance exists in a cockpit. It's a team effort and nobody's foolproof." Ben Tabor. Explore his journey here- https://lnkd.in/eVAxRcNq

What a great week down at Farnborough International Airshow #FIA24 Whilst overall, aircraft orders and attendance are down, diversity (of product, and indeed people) is significantly higher. The show, and indeed wider industry are still recovering from the pandamic, but along with this comes a lot of positive change. Over the decade+ that we have been attending, the change is significant, and whilst the flying displays are certainly not what they were (and the lack of cold war jets upsets Apera-bot) the focus on the future more than makes up for this. Alongside this, ‘24s show was the first ever to allow public access to exhibition halls, helping inspire the next generation of engineers, pilots and innovators. There was a greater sense of ‘connection’ to the wider world, and we only see this as a good thing. There is a brave new world slowly commercialising, we can’t wait to see what the next decade will hold. #UnlockingHumanPotential

Sometimes you come across marketing strategies that are just too good not to share! Spotted this weekend: Shuttleworth airshow team working smarter not harder. How to advertise your airshow to the masses and attract some last minute attendees? Get in one of the many planes at your disposable (with a qualified professional), hang a sign out the back of said plane advertising your airshow, and fly over the county’s biggest country show happening down the road the day before! #workingsmart #marketingappreciationpost

AirPro in the News! Check out this informative piece from NewsWatch 12 in Rhinelander featuring one of AirPro's founding members, Marty Mathews. What AirPro makes, the world takes! #centrifugalfans #industrialfans #airpro #rhinelander

Well done, JetBlue! Sitting at the airport terminal can be pretty uneventful. While watching the planes take off, I noticed how the #windshield looks familiar. It is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the autopilot from the 1980 Paramount Pictures Airplane. It’s the little things that go along way! #airplanes #basketball #movie #communications #publicrelations.

 Pilots trained at our academy develop sought-after skills, with a focus on putting them on a path to work anywhere in the world.

Can't wait to see the demo in STL!

Leading aviation sector in style

When Boom Supersonic was first funded in 2017, the plane was expected to enter service in 2023, last year... The XB-1 demonstrator, something Burt Rutan could have build in his garage, was first planned to fly in 2017. It just flew in march this year, and at a speed comparable to current general aviation propeller planes. Do people really think Boom Supersonic can realistically build the supersonic plane and get it through a certification process for civil aviation and in passenger service in the next five years, as is their latest schedule? And even if they continue to kick the can down the road (as is their business model), will it make sense in the 2030's to scream brutally through the atmosphere instead of going above it? New VTOL rocket technology could get you on the other side of the plane through the vacuum of space in one hour. When will this investor scam end?

Probably the biggest X factor that sets Venture West apart from any other flight school is how we guarantee our students time to build their hours! You get guaranteed airtime 3 days per week which is far better than some other schools where you're lucky to flight once a month. We believe this not only helps our students stay confident and proficient but it fosters a better community of aviators constantly talking about what they're actually doing in the air vs. theorizing about what could possibly happen. #becometheone #venturewest #flightschool
