Shooting an Approach to Minimums
We got a question from a listener asking what Joe’s advice would be on whether or not to make configuration changes once you pop out of the clouds when shooting an approach to near-minimums. Well, here’s the answer!

Moving the spinny thing from the top to the front
Joe sits down with Darwin Haines, who was in the same unit in the Army as Joe for quite a few years as a helicopter pilot and has recently bought a 1989 Mirage. They talk about old Army stories as well as why and how the Mirage purchase was made.
The Right Way to Perform a Go-Around
The go-around (or going missed) procedure is one of the most misunderstood aspects of aviation, and one of the most critical parts of any flight. We’ll try to set the record straight.
Kingdom Air Corps
I LOVE the Kingdom Air Corp! This is such a cool place! Here’s their webpage: https://www.kingdomaircorps.org Basically, the Kingdom Air Corps (KAC) prepares pilots for the aviation mission field by providing flight instruction opportunities. The setting is the stunning Matanuska Valley near Sutton, AK about 2 hours northeast of Anchorage. Sitting right on the Matanuska…
Argentina King Air 350i Ferry Flight
I’m excited about this trip because I get to fly deep into South America. I’ve been to Columbia, and that does qualify as a “South American trip”, but I didn’t get to look around and see the topography, terrain, or culture. For this trip I’m going to fly over much of South America and really…
Tahiti Ferry Flight
It seems I’ve been picked to fly some pretty incredible ferry flights lately. In the last 45 days I flew a King Air to China, another to India and, most recently, a King Air 350 from Tahiti back to the USA. To illustrate how much I’ve been traveling, I set foot on 21 countries in…

We recently had Kim Coryat come in for recurrent training in her Meridian and it didn’t take long to realize she has a really cool aviation background and has flown some extremely cool aircraft. Anybody who has experience flying in the Air Force and for FedEx is going to have some cool stories…take a listen…
US to China Ferry Trip
Recently, I got the opportunity to fly in the right seat of a King Air 350 on the way from Fargo, ND to China. It was probably the coolest aviation-related experience of my life and I’m way too eager for the next one to come up. Here’s a report on the trip that Joe and…
A Tailwheel Endorsement Will Make You a Better Pilot
On his way to the 2019 MMOPA Convention that’s going on as I type this, Rick Converse stopped at KJSO to get his Tailwheel Endorsement with Joe. After he knocked it out (which took less than two days to accomplish), we sat down with him to talk about his experience with tailwheel training as well…
