Formation Flying CanardCast May 2022

On this edition of CanardCast, I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing not one, but two great canard drivers and canard instructors! Mr. Jim Springer is not only an amazing canard aviator, but has now organized the first sponsored, Canard Formation Flying Clinic! This clinic was just held a couple of weeks ago. With lot of help from others, I can tell you this formation flying clinic was a sterling success. In addition to Jim, I’m also talking to Sir Ryszard Zadow.  He is President of the nonprofit RAFE. That’s the Rutan Aircraft Flying Experience. Ryszard has over 34,000 hours flying with over 23,000 hours multi engine. He has extensive hours flying formation. One of his favorite expressions is, “You brief your flight and fly your brief”. I like that. During this dual interview, we are in a conference room at the airport in Covington, Tennessee. (Which is on the top side of Memphis.) Please forgive me for the audio quality on this one. I’ll go bask and improve it soon, but I want to get this CanardCast published now. Also, please lessen closely to hear an amazing Long EZ fly by during the interview!
