Going "Plane Crazy Down Under". An Aviation Blog by Owen Zupp.

                  Chatting with the team at the PCDU Podcast.

 

For those who followed my charity flight around Australia, you’ll recall that one of the supporters from the early days were the lads at "Plane Crazy Down Under" or PCDU. The two founders of PCDU, Steve Visscher and Grant McHerron, spend every spare moment hunting down interesting aspects of aviation from balloons to Boeings to compile a monthly podcast. Of paricular note is the genuine passion for aviation that exudes from every episode of PCDU. These guys love what they do.

Their podcast has gone from strength to strength over the last two years and while there is an Asia/Pacific focus, that didn’t stop Steve and Grant crossing the Pacific Ocean to visit the United States for a pilgrimage to ‘Air Venture’ at Oshkosh in 2011. Those particular podcasts proved very popular across the globe and were heavily downloaded through their website and iTunes.

This episode again brings a number of varied topics to the microphone; from flying boats and ‘Splashing In’ to World War Two pilot training. I even sit down for a chat for the lads and speak about the wonderful world of aviation. If you haven’t listened to the team at PCDU, Episode 82 might be a good place to start.

Cheers,

Owen
