The Friday Flyer. An Aviation Blog by Owen Zupp.

Owen Zupp - Friday, February 10, 2012

 

Hi All,

Welcome to the ‘Friday Flyer’. The working week may be drawing to a close, but this blog just keeps humming along. This aviation blog continues to grow from strength to strength due to your ongoing support. The numerous positive comments and emails reinforce that the diverse and original aviation content is what you’re looking for, so I’ll continue to endeavour to provide it.

It’s been a busy week here at the aviation blog. There was a late night chat with the lads from PCDU for Episode 82 of their popular podcast. It is currently being edited and should be set for release next week. There was my first ‘Guest Blog’ at Airline Reporter regarding the Boeing 737.  These last few days also saw the first instalment of the new “Learning to Fly” series with "A Matter of Course" and this is set to become a popular ongoing series if the traffic numbers are any indication. As always there were interesting stories to complete for the upcoming edition of Australian Aviation.

As always, the new content is ever-popular, but some of the older posts continue to attract the visitors.

1. So You Want to be a Pilot?

2. The Fatal Stall

3. The Big Bang Theory....of aircraft engines.

I am hard at work on my next manuscript and the good news is that it is nearing completion, so stay tuned for the latest news. One person who has completed the process and is celebrating the release of her first book is Karlene Pettit. An established aviation blogger from the United States, Karlene’s book "Flight for Control" hit the shelves this week. Congratulations! Having been through the process with "Down to Earth", I can truly share the excitement of seeing that first book ‘in the flesh’.

So what’s for next week? Another instalment in the “Learning to Fly” series and a look at another “Fatal Stall”. There will be the conclusion to "The Remarkable Queenstown RNP" and more original content and images. Thanks again for your support as it is your interest that keeps me writing. So tell your friends and spread the word and together we can share this journey of aviation.

Cheers for now,

Owen
