  • Mini Legends: the Suell Sisters
    Jan 8 2022
    In this episode, we’ll catch up with the Suell sisters: Amelia, 9, Piper, 8, and Aurora, 6, and their mom Tambi.

    The Suells are a flying family and the sisters are third-generation aviators.

    Their dad Tommy is a pilot, their grandfather was a pilot, Tambi is *almost* a pilot.

    The sisters have been flying airplanes in Dad's lap since they were infants and started flying aerobatics in Tommy's Christen Eagle between the ages of 2 and 4.

    Tommy's YouTube channel, PlaneJunkies, has almost 30,000 subscribers, and people around the world have watched these girls grow up flying airplanes.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    -What exactly Ameilia did to make Tommy throw up.

    -How the Wish Law works.

    -The nuances between Gs, Geezes, and Jesus.

    -That time Amelia and Piper met the Thunderbird and Blue Angel flight demonstration teams.

    -Amelia may have been on the Kelly Clarkson show twice, but NOW she’s on the Badass Pilot Babes podcast!

    You will love this hilarious from-the mouth-of-babes interview.

  • To Quit or Not to Quit
    Dec 23 2021
    In this episode, I’ll share some of my deepest, darkest secrets with you.

    It all started with earning my private pilot's license a decade ago. Facing my fears of stalls and spins led me to flying competition aerobatics for the next eight years.

    Now a vetted and competent pilot, people didn’t know I almost quit part way through flight training. I had *almost* convinced myself that I didn’t have the talent to learn how to fly.

    Obviously that was not true, and the trajectory of my life changed because of my decision not to quit.

    After pouring my heart, soul, and buckets of money into flying aerobatics, a couple of years ago, I made the decision to quit.

    I’ll explore the unrecognized yet huge difference between quitting because you think you CAN’T do something, as opposed to quitting because you don’t WANT to do something.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    -why sometimes it's a great idea to pull your dick out of a light socket

    -the connection between losing and finding

    -how ego and identity can be sneaky traps

    -what aerobatics, whitewater kayaking, and landscape design all have in common

  • Susie Williams - Adventures at 1000 AGL
    Dec 9 2021
    On a dare, Silicon Valley software engineer Susie Williams learned to fly a little over a decade ago.

    She earned her private pilot certificate, bought a Cessna 172, (that she describes as “The Toyota Camry of the Skies”) and bought a home and hangar in an airpark community.

    Based in CA, Susie and her airplane have flown to almost every state west of the Mississippi and a few east of there.

    Her love of flying and traveling, coupled with her talents as a writer and aerial photographer have recently come together in her first published book.

    Adventures at 1000 AGL - How To Fly Around The Country In A Small Airplane is part how-to manual, and part inspiration for adventure-minded pilots and travelers.

    The book contains practical advice about how to plan and execute your trip, from logistics to weather and diversions, coupled with stories from Susie’s numerous adventures.

    The book also features stunning aerial photos of America’s mountains, shores, and heartland.

    Armchair explorers, pilots, and anyone curious to see a different side of America will love a glimpse into this exciting way of traveling.
