Episode 04: Rob Holland

What an honor it was to sit down and shoot the shit with 5 time WAC Freestyle, 9 time National, and 10 time National Freestyle champion, and one of my idols, Rob Holland. I was actually nervous to interview him, as he is so talented and accomplished, but he couldn’t have been more nice. We talk about his accomplishments, biplanes, the mighty MXS-RH, flying airshows, coaching, competing, the IAC and so much more! What an absolutely tremendous human being. Clearly he is a world class competition pilot, world class airshow pilot, has several amazing lifetime achievement awards including the Eric Müller award he was presented last year. He is also a very nice guy. He is an excellent ambassador to the sport, a mentor to several other world class pilots, and very approachable. He genuinely loves aerobatics, loves flying, and loves trying to be his best self. Obviously with 2020 being a huge hit, the airshow season has been almost completely decimated. Head on over to Robs website down below, buy a patch and a t-shirt. Be sure to catch him on the 2021 airshow circuit (fingers crossed). His last scheduled show is Stuart FL Nov 7-8 and its still scheduled as of now so if you are in the area, be sure to head out and watch the show!

Episode 01: The Beginning

A podcast is born! What kind of podcast remains to be seen, but the essence of this podcast is to simply talk about flying cool shit, and talk to people about flying cool shit.

In this episode I talk bit about what’s going on during COVID, a little about the status of my airplane and some fun stuff I have flown lately. I also give a brief background on myself, and why I started the podcast. Please email me with suggestions on what you would be interested in hearing, flycoolshit@gmail.com.
