We were delighted to be joined by Major Michelle Curran of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team.

Major Curran, callsign ‘Mace’ is just the fifth female Thunderbirds pilot and chatted to us from Las Vegas, discussing her route to becoming a fighter pilot and the challenges she met along the way.

For our 100th episode we welcome back Flt Lt Jon Bond (Red 6 – RAF Red Arrows) to update us on his progress over the past eight years from Tucano Display Pilot to Eurofighter Typhoon and on to the Red Arrows. We also go back to our roots to talk to the AirplaneGeeks about their success in reaching 600 episodes.

We welcome Rowland White back on to the show to talk about his latest book ‘Harrier 809 – Britain’s Legendary Jump Jet and the Untold Story of the Falklands War’.

We welcome Tim Davies back on to the show to reflect on his memories of the Tornado GR4 and look forward to Aeralis.

With seven authors introducing their books, two book club reviewers, over 50 books and over 10,000 pages, this bumper episode’s only focus is on aviation books. Enjoy the content and we hope they will help you choose some interesting aviation reads. We would like to thank GrubStreet Books, Fonthill Books and The Aviation Historian for supporting this episode.
