    Like all of our entrepreneurial guests, Chuck Shavit of CloudAhoy (www.cloudahoy.com) created his company out of a passion for aviation and a desire to address an aviation problem.  In this case, the issue was being able to get objective and consistent feedback from his training flights.   Chuck leveraged his technical expertise to create a solution that enables users to replay a flight from multiple perspectives.  The user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many enhancement requests that have been or will be found in the product.  As guest audio technician, Trevor Wesolowsky stated, "CloudAhoy will save me two lessons over the course of my instrument training."  Now that's value!Marc showed up to the SimpleFlight studio just prior to the show, and used the SimpleFlight "venting option" to talk about his free $1500 flight.  Huh?  After venting, it was all positive as Trevor, Marc, and Al talked about the great things going on in aviation.  They three were pleased to host our frequent guests from

    When Rod Rakic of OpenAirplane (openairplane.com) showed the world that aviation insurance companies were willing to accept a new paradigm in renting general aviation aircraft to pilots around the country, it was hailed as a great step forward for G.A.  With his recent announcement of making those same aircraft available from individual owners, the industry once again applauds Rod on accelerating the momentum of GA's recovery.  Listen to Al and Marc as they learn about the "Collaborative Aircraft Rental" and what it means to owners, pilots, and General Aviation.   OpenAirplane is one of many exciting innovators in aviation.  But what's it like for a legacy company trying to join the entrepreneurial force that makes up so much of today's headlines.  Is it culture, new technologies, or even new twists on old technologies which determines the fate of these investments?  And with new technologies, are they cool fads, or do they contribute to aviation safety.  Listen in and then let us know what you think.   Curre

    Live From The Center of the Aviation Universe           No other radio show can make the claim that they broadcasted from the center of the aviation universe.  Yet, that's exactly what SimpleFlight Aviation Radio did with their on-location radio show at..... you guessed it.... Aviation Universe Pilot Shop in Bensenville, IL!  We were pleased to find a packed house of over 20 visitors who came by to enjoy the show and Pizza.  Now that's the way to spend Sunday night.    Many of you remember the special trips to the pilot shop, which meant plenty of "window" shopping and great conversations with those around you.  The Internet has served to take that piece of the community away, but Lora Yowell and Richard Wells have shown the value of the pilot shop by being home to all aviation enthusiasts, including pilots, plane-spotters, and anyone that looks to the sky with dreams in their hearts.  Lora and Richard talked of the community of loyal customers that are part of the Aviation Universe family, and how it has dev

    When tonight's scheduled guest had an unexpected and unavoidable issue come up preventing her from being on the show, Al and Marc had to pick up their scan and focus on aviating the show for the full two hour schedule.  No problem for these two #avgeeks, who always have something to say about general aviation.Listen in as the show kicks off with a great debate about a pass or fail check ride scenario brought to light by the guys at BoldMethod (www.boldmethod.com).  Would you pass the applicant?The rest of the show was a random stream of consciousness covering everything from the impossible turn, when to pull the chute, flight sims, aviation maintenance scholarships, and whether a stick shaker played a role in the Aspen Challenger crash.Wishing all of you, strong tailwinds and blue skies!
