We managed to sneak two podcast recording sessions in during #LAFleetWeek. Here’s the second.

Meet US Marine Corps captain Tyler O’Connor. Tyler and his crew brought in the star of our mini-airshow: the mighty MV-22 Osprey.

Quite the spectacle to watch an aircraft that doesn’t look like it should even be able to fly land and take off from our parking lot. In this episode Tyler discusses what it takes to learn to pilot one and why he loves it.

BONUS!

For footage of Tyler showing off his Osprey – including landing, take-off, and aircraft interiors, check out the YouTube version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/w5dBZ8NdMB0
