Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
A highlight from Something a little monstrous with Isabel Caas
"At Breaking the Glass Slipper we believe it is important to have conversations about women and issues of intersectional feminism within science fiction, fantasy and horror. To continue to do so we need your help. Please consider supporting us on Patreon. Join the conversation by following us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Hello and welcome to Breaking the Glass Slipper. I'm Charlotte Bond. I'm Megan Lee. And I'm Lucy Hounsom. From the very first tales of the supernatural, vampires have held a special place in the hearts of storytellers. Over the years they've been reinvented again and again. In movie terms we've had The Elegant and the Elfin in Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, while Gary Oldman gave us a seductive but sinister version of Dracula himself in Coppola's film. With regards to books we've had endearing but vicious vampire children in Let the Right One In, and Stephen King himself claims that his vampire novel Salem's Lot is one of his favourites, linking the dying of small towns with the curse of the vampire. With the exception of the Swedish Let the Right One In, most of our well -known vampires are decidedly Western. But in The Vampires of El Norte, Isabel Canas has created her own brand of very savage vampires that face off against Vaqueros. Isabel is joining us in this episode to talk about what inspired her Mexican vampires and what her novel says about being a woman in 1840s Mexico fighting not just against supernatural beings but against the expectations of society. Isabel, thank you so much for joining us. Please tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and your books. Thank you so much for having me. I've been looking forward to this. I love, love, love this podcast. So getting the email from my publicist saying that this was in the books, I was like, yes, I'm so excited. Oh, it's lovely to have you. I am a Mexican -American speculative fiction author. I live in the Pacific Northwest. I'm a recovering academic, so we might get a little nitty and gritty when it comes to my research and talking about folklore and the kinds of things that informed Vampires of El Norte, which is, I guess you could bill it, and it has been billed as a supernatural Western set in what is now South Texas in 1846 at the beginning of the Mexican -American war. And it's about two childhood sweethearts named Nena and Nestor who are separated at the age of 13 because of a tragedy and are thrown together again nine years later on the road to war. And they have to defend their home Rancho from threats, both human and supernatural. And the supernatural, like spoiler alert, is the vampires. I have to admit, I've read lots of vampire novels, but none quite like yours. So how are vampires traditionally represented in Mexican literature? Are they like you present them in your books, which is kind of not quite human, but humanoid and sort of vicious and savage and unnatural? Is that what they are in Mexican literature or is there a branch of them in there? Do you tell us? Well, yeah, when it comes to Mexican, when it comes to literature, I would draw a line between literature and folklore. This is my academic coming out. But also there are, I guess, many kinds of vampires when we talk about literature and folklore in Mexico. I think Mexican literature in particular, in terms of genre literature, we have Silvia Moreno -Garcia's Certain Dark Things, which features a vampire in modern Mexico City. It is fantastic. But when it comes to modern literature, there's a lot of influence from the West. The Anglo American tradition of the vampire is, of course, something that occurs in pop culture. When it comes to folklore, however, when I was researching this book, I came across some interesting stuff. The original idea that was like the seed of this novel took place in a different part of Mexico, which is where the book ended up being set, which is now South Texas, which is where my family has hailed from for generations. Originally, I was looking at more central Mexico, maybe like in the environs of Mexico City. In the state of Tlaxcala, there are legends of what are called bloodsucking witches or Tlahualpuches and these entities, I guess, could fall under the heading of vampire, given their predilection for blood. They're very different from the Western European vampire that most people are familiar with from pop culture. So I was fascinated by these creatures who are, I believe exclusively women, and their affliction is something that they are born with and that manifests with puberty. There's so much to pick apart there. When I was putting the book together, I realized that they deserve their own novel. I was kind of back to square one.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Intentional Evangelism
"You are listening to Bible Direction for Life, the sermon podcast of Westside Baptist Church in Bremerton, Washington. We pray that the preaching and teaching you hear on this podcast connects the truth of the Bible to your life, that you would learn more about the triune God who made you and what he made you for. And now here's today's message. When we moved from Bremerton to Yucca Valley, my kids called it Yucky Valley. We moved from the Pacific Northwest where everything's green, there's water, and we moved to a place where everything is dry and hot, no water around. So Yucca Valley turned into Yucky Valley. But it's a privilege to be among you this morning and this weekend. Thank you for having us. We are always encouraged when we come to Westside Baptist Church. You are our home church away from our home church. And we think of you often, we pray for God's blessing upon this church family. Thank you for being faithful this weekend to the preaching conference. It's an encouragement not only to the pastoral staff when they arrange a conference that the church family comes and be a part of that, but it's an encouragement to the guest preacher who's been preparing messages to preach to the church. And you've been faithful this weekend. So thank you. Thank you for the warm accommodations, the wonderful house that you've provided for us to stay at. We so appreciate the Christian charity that has been shown to us this weekend. My wife sends her greetings to everyone. She wishes she could be here with us, but under certain circumstances, as Peter mentioned regarding a van, we did not want to tempt the Lord driving across country in the month of August. So Lord willing next summer, we'll have a new van. We'll come and visit you then. We might just sneak in and surprise you like we did last time. That way we can actually enjoy time enjoying Peter's preaching under his word. Sometimes I get on sermon audio and listen to sermons that are preached here at Westside. So we're excited, encouraged by what the Lord is doing here in this place. While everything seems to be falling apart in this world, we know that everything's actually falling into place. We don't need to fear tomorrow because we know that God's already there. And Romans 8 28, all things are working together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose. So in just a brief time, all of us, just like John Hill, are going to be with the Lord. We see that the end times are upon us. Things are moving closer and closer to the time in which Christ will come for his bride. And we say, even so, come Lord Jesus. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Well our topic this weekend has been the topic of evangelism. And I gave you a workable definition Friday night regarding what evangelism is. So let me review that real quickly for those of you who were not here. Where is evangelism God in Christ through the influence of the Holy Spirit seeking and saving his sheep through his people. And if I had to add one element to that definition that I created about a month ago in preparation for this conference, I would add this. Evangelism is God in Christ through the influence of the Holy Spirit seeking and saving his sheep through his people for the glory of his name. Evangelism is all about God. God seeking his people, God seeking his people through his people for the glory of his name. So this morning I invite you to take your Bibles and turn with me to John chapter 4. John chapter 4. And as you're turning there, I want to reiterate one final time what we've considered from scripture regarding the foundational elements of evangelism. I'm thoroughly convinced that if you and I are to be effective witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ in our normal day to day interactions with those who are without God and without hope in this world, then we must have, number one, a personal, vibrant love for the Lord. Deuteronomy chapter 6, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength. And Jesus tells us that this is the great commandment. So before we seek to fulfill the great commission, we need to make sure that we are fulfilling the great commandment. This is essential. We must love God if we are to tell others the love of God in Christ. Number two, if we are to be the evangelists that God wants us to be, then we must be a pure light for Jesus Christ. Matthew chapter 5, Jesus tells us on the Sermon on the Mount, Ye are the light of the world. Ye are the salt of the earth. And being lights for the Lord, we need to make sure that our light is not hidden under a bushel, but that we let our light so shine before men so that they may see our good works and then glorify our Father, which is in heaven. And the idea in that is before we seek to open our mouths for Christ, we need to make sure that we are living our lives for Christ. We need to make sure that we are being before we are doing. You are to be a light and a bright and burning light for Christ. And then out of that, we preach Christ. So is it either or? Do we preach Christ or do we live for Christ? No, it's both and. We have to be for Christ and in our being for Christ, we do for Christ. So what do we need? To be effective witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ. We need a personal, vibrant love for God. We must be a pure light for Christ. And then number three, we must have a proper understanding of what the message of the gospel is. John chapter three, Jesus tells Nicodemus, if you are to see the kingdom of God, you must born be again. What is the gospel? The gospel is a transformation that God does in the hearts of men through his power and grace. The message of the gospel is the message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. And Jesus preaches that message to Nicodemus, John chapter three, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. If we are to preach the gospel effectively, we need to make sure that we know what the gospel is, what the biblical gospel given to us in the word of God that honors Christ. We're not going to help people if we don't know the fullness of the biblical gospel. And then number four, if we are to be effective evangelists for the Lord, we must have a heart of compassion towards the lost that Christ had. When we consider the life of Christ and ask the question, how is it that he was so zealous toward the lost world? We read in scripture that when Jesus saw the multitudes, he was inwardly moved with compassion on them, and he prayed for them, and he commanded others to pray for them, and he not only prayed for them, he went to them, he healed those that he was burdened for, and he preached the gospel towards those who were dying. And I'm submitting to you this morning that if we are to be effective evangelists for the Lord Jesus Christ, we need that same tender heart for the lost. We cannot be hardened toward our mission field if we are to reach others for the Lord Jesus Christ. We cannot be like the sons of thunder, James and John, careless, and even desiring God to pour down his judgment upon those who do not believe. We need a tender, broken heart for the lost if we are to win them to Christ. Now from John chapter four, verses one through 30, I want to give you what I believe to be the fifth foundational feature that is needed in the work of evangelism. And as I read the text, I want to see if you can spot it. John chapter four, beginning in verse one. When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, he left Judea and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs go through Samaria, then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of the ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there, Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well, and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, give me to drink, for his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat. Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it that thou, being a Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself and his children and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, sir, give me this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, thou hast well said I have no husband, for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband, in that thou sayest truly. The woman saith unto him, sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. And Jesus saith unto her, woman, believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what? We know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ. When he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. And upon this came his disciples and marveled that he talked with this woman, yet no man said, What seekest thou, or why talkest thou with her? The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man which told me all things, that ever I did is not this the Christ. Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. Did you catch the final foundational element of evangelism? It is first alluded to in verse four, and then highlighted several times throughout the entirety of the account. The fifth and final challenge regarding being an effective evangelist for Christ is this. If we are going to be the witnesses that God intends for us to be, if we are going to evangelize in the way that God expects of us, if we are going to bring the gospel to others as Christ did, then we must, we must, we must be intentional about it. That's the fifth foundational feature of evangelism found in this text. The fifth and foundational feature of evangelism includes being intentional. And from this passage, I want to show you how Jesus, the master evangelist, was intentional in sharing the gospel with this woman. In this text, we find Jesus teaching us three ways we must be intentional in our evangelistic efforts with others. I want you to notice first that Jesus was intentional in going to this woman. Notice verses three and four again. Verse four says, he, Jesus, left Judea and departed again into Galilee, and he must needs go through Samaria.

"25 before hour the now. Welcome back. You're with America in the morning. Accuweather .com meteorologist Karl Babinski has the nation's forecast. While some temperature records in the east may not be tied or broken on this Wednesday, still it's going to be quite warm for the third consecutive day across much of the northeast interior and in the mid -Atlantic region. A large ridge of high pressure continues to sit atop the eastern third of the country, promoting this unusual warmth for in early October. Highs will be mostly in the low and mid 80s along the I -95 corridor between Boston and Washington. In portions of the southeast it will be warm as well with temperatures soaring well into the 80s in the Carolinas and Georgia. In portions of Florida though and along the Gulf Coast expect a few widely separated thunderstorms. Severe weather has been a big problem lately in the plains states because the leading edge of much cooler air is pushing across the nation's land. In fact yesterday strong storms produced hail up to three inches in diameter in parts of western Kansas and wind also gusts of up to 80 miles per hour. Tuesday evening some of those strong storms rolled into Iowa and eastern Nebraska. They are weakening early this morning but still a few showers and storms will be popping up later today. Some could become especially strong in Oklahoma and in the Red River Valley in parts of northern Texas. There could be wind gusts in excess of miles 50 per hour and Texas as I mentioned yesterday is going to see quite a bit of rain over the next 48 hours. Beneficial rain after a very hot and dry summer season. Speaking of relatively hot and dry it'll be quite warm along the west coast over the next couple of days as a ridge of high pressure builds into the western third of the nation. Damages soaring well into the 80s today across the San Francisco Bay Area. It'll also be warm across much of southern California. I forward look to be on the cool side across the Pacific Northwest with highs mostly in the 60s. I'm Accuweather .com meteorologist Currer Babinski.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Your Godly Testimony
"You are listening to Bible Direction for Life, the sermon podcast of Westside Baptist Church in Bremerton, Washington. We pray that the preaching and teaching you hear on this podcast connects the truth of the Bible to your life, that you would learn more about the triune God who made you and what he made you for. And now here's today's message. All right, hope you had a blessed evening of rest. Thank you for the accommodations for our family, a very nice, warm home. We feel like it's a place that we can just rest at least for a few hours before we come before you and minister the word of God. And again, for those of you who were not here last night, you've been asking about Becky. She sends her love, wishing she could be here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I do have to admit that I prayed for rain this weekend, but I guess it wasn't God's will. We don't see a lot of rain in Yucca Valley, California. So I just want one afternoon. That's all I ask for, one afternoon of rain. So maybe God will give it to us later in the week. But I know Peter is praying probably for sunshine with all the kids ministry and the pavilions outside. So whose prayer does God answer? I'll leave it to you to decide. This is kind of rainy. Yeah. This is gloomy. All right. It's close. It's close. Almost rain. All right. Well, thanks for coming this morning. If you will take your Bibles and turn with me to Matthew chapter five. Matthew chapter five. And as you're turning to Matthew chapter five, let me once again remind you of what the essence of evangelism is. Last night, we began by establishing the fact that evangelism is God in Christ through the influence of his spirit, seeking and saving his sheep through his people. Evangelism is about God drawing, enlightening, regenerating and redeeming lost souls unto himself through the involvement and the participation of his people. So in this, we recognize first that salvation is entirely of God's grace and power. John 6 63, Jesus says, it's the spirit that quickens the flesh provides nothing. John 1 12 and 13, but as many as received him to them gave he that is God power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, which were born, not of the blood, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And then we have Ephesians 2 8 9, for by grace, are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. So if others are to see the kingdom of God, they must be born again. They must be born of God. They must be born from above. That's first and foremost in understanding evangelism. Evangelism is all about God saving his people, okay? And then we have the second truth. Second, we recognize that God has ordained to use his people to be evangelistic witnesses in this world.

Denise Quinn: Calls for Consequences to Address 'Reign of Terror'
"I'm curious to know how things go out there in the Pacific Northwest, because I'm from the south. And I grew up under the threat of being beaten with a fiberglass panel with holes drilled in it from the principal so that there was there was no air cushion there, right? Right. And then with the promise that I would get it twice as bad once I got home and that pretty much kept most of us on the straight and narrow and I will say this when I graduated, there had never been a mass shooting in any American high schools. That's the same for me. I grew up with an Italian mother. So I knew the wooden spoon pretty well. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. There was discipline. There was consequences to your actions and we've taken that all out. I mean, I draw the school bus for the district in the 20 and the 2000s. And even back then, they were taking away tools and you could see the decline in behavior. So you're right. If there's consequences and there's punishment, I know you were talking about Corporal punishment. That would never fly out here, but my gosh, if we could get SR student resource officers back and have some consequences, I think that would go a long way towards sort of pulling back this reign of terror. And you think about there was one incident with the lawsuit. There was basically a teacher kind of held hostage for over three hours before anybody would come and help her. I mean, it's out of control and it has to stop.

Part 1 of 'I, Pencil: The Movie' (Short Version)
"This is the world we live in If we weren't surrounded by it every day if we didn't take it for granted we'd be dumbstruck by its very intricacy and brilliance This is an ordinary familiar wooden pencil You might think a pencil is simple Chances are you've been using one since before you could even read or write But just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's simple In fact it's complicated elaborate beautiful Elegant It's very existence is too improbable For any one person to truly comprehend These are the basic materials that go into a pencil Graphite Cedar metal and rubber But if you had all the elements of a pencil right in front of you could you make a pencil It's not as easy as you might think In fact no single person on the face of the earth could do it without the help of countless others And this is the key to understanding the world A pencil just like you and me is the end result of a vast and intricate family tree a symphony of human activity that spans the globe Through their work and knowledge a vast number of people have had a hand in making this simple pencil Unlike your family tree this one begins with an actual tree The most immediate ancestor of the pencil is a Cedar tree in the Pacific Northwest But the loggers who harvest the timber are also its ancestors And these men don't work alone They in turn are assisted by the people and industries that produce the sauce rope countless other tools that they use

Washington shutters pot businesses due to old pesticide
"Handful of farms because of high levels of pesticide residue being detected. Several outdoor marijuana farms and packing facilities located at former fruit orchards in north central Washington state tested high for levels of DDE, a chemical that remains when the pesticide DDT breaks down, nearly 20 businesses are affected. The CEO of Walden cannabis, which advertises that its pot is pesticide free, says he stunned to be targeted, adding DDT, which was banned in the 70s, had been used throughout the entire Pacific Northwest. Federal health officials say studies show women with high amounts of DDE are more likely to give birth prematurely or have a baby that wheezes. Earlier this year, 5 marijuana customers in Vermont reported feeling sick. And the pot was found to have pesticide contamination. Nevada regulators have issued a warning about

52 years after capture, orca Lolita may return to Pacific
"An unlikely coalition has a plan to return Lolita, also known as toki and orca that has lived in captivity at Miami seaquarium for more than 50 years to her home waters in the Pacific Northwest. It could take 6 to 9 months or even longer to move the 57 year old 5000 pound orca closer to where it's believed her mother still swims. The aquarium CEO Eduardo albor says his daughter told him Lolita needs to move. I feel so bad. I have to go around with cry. The honor of the Indianapolis Colts, Jim irsay, says this is very close to his heart. I know Lolita wants to get to free waters. I don't care what anyone says, she wants she's lived this long to have this opportunity. Charles vinick with Friends of toki says moving toki Lolita is worth the $20 million price. That's all that matters. I'm Ed Donahue

"So is step one of that process, stay calm. Exactly. I understand that part of the culture in the military is the first thing you do when you have an emergency is wind the clock, rob's winding his fingers there. Because the whole idea is you kind of want to disconnect from the impulse to rapidly do something which might be wrong and might make things worse. So the whole idea is you really just want to kind of disconnect from that, realize that very few emergencies require instant cat like reflexes and movements she really needs to be thinking about it before you respond and do things. Make sense. Look at that accident that happened, I saw a story about it at least a couple of weeks ago, but somewhere in Asia where the first officer was trying to help the captain and he feathered both props instead of what he was supposed to do and that didn't turn out so well. No, it's pretty bad when you have one good engine and you turn it off. The turn off the good one like they did. So yeah, somebody needed to be thinking a little bit more before the acted quickly. Wind the clock. That sounds like good advice for lots of situations. Yeah. All right, rob Mark. Except when your car is skidding on the ice, I don't think winding the clock is going to probably help you a whole lot, but anyway, max, they can find me at all the usual places.

"We should give him a job here. I know, right? Mate, he could actually improve the quality of aviation reporting in the mainstream media. There will be way less blow master awards, absolutely. Now granting that F-35 report, there is a bit of a magic of radio moment and we might just put it out there for our listeners. We won't say what it is. But let's see if anybody can pick what it is in that F-35 report. And we'll see perhaps if people send in some emails to max and they can tell them what they think it is and we'll judge the responses for the following Australian use disk. Well, that means they've got a month to do it because I'm doing the penile air show next weekend and you're busy driving trains. So who knows when we're going to get to do it hint, do it quick, it's probably only going to be a week. Yes, that's exactly right now. The finishing touches are being put on the relaunch episode of plane crazy down under it. I'm pretty hopeful that we'll have that launched probably within the next week or so, so. Please make sure that your RSS feed is updated in your podcast to make sure it picks up our new feed, we'd really appreciate it. And we'll certainly be sure to let you know when that comes out. But until then, well, I guess I'd better go away and do some more editing. I'm Steve bisher. And I'm grant mccarran Steve mate. Sorry, the real reason I can't do next week is because I'm going up to study for a beer. Go as if I didn't guess that already. To do those guys have a psychiatric exam for the pitched us with this next season of playing crazy down under. Yeah, they failed. That's why we have them back on. Ah, yes. All right, so what do you guys think it was in the report? I wondered if it was the sound effect of the jet going past, or I'm going to have to listen to it again. Maybe it was Steve Fisher pretending he was at the show. When he was really in his basement, could be. I just want to mention the first story they were talking about. I had read about that the two helicopters that crashed in January. They were at sea world in Australia. And I guess they give rides to visitors. And the key thing that stuck out to me, which they mentioned was the lack of radio communications, which apparently weren't required. However, we just had a midair collision here in the United States last week, which was down at winterhaven. It was a piper cub on floats at the Jack Brown. We would stack Brown seaplane base collided with a Cherokee that was landing on the adjacent runway at Winter Haven. And I've lined with that airport before. And indeed, the Lake is right next to the runway. But again, apparently lack of radio communication on the case of the piper cub. So I think a major, major theme for midair collisions. People have to be talking on the radio, even if it's not legally required. If I were the FAA administrator, I think I'd consider it requiring it. I think we've gotten past the day and age where we can go, oh yeah, they've got, we've got these fun romantic airplanes from the 40s that don't need to talk on the radio. Air traffic has grown to the point where I think everybody should be on the radio, but that's just my opinion. Wow. And I'm not sure about this bruary concept. I'm just imagining a bunch of, well, a couple of drunk passengers on a cessna. I mean, there's not, it's not like you've got a whole Boeing or Airbus to try to deal with someone who's had a little bit too much. I mean, if you're trapped in a cessna with someone like that. Well, to be candid, that's illegal. As a pilot, you're not permitted to have somebody on board who is drunk. So if there was a case up in the northwest where there was a drunk who was boarded on a part one 35 aircraft charter, and he was directly the cause of the accident, and yet his survivors his family sued the pilot's estate because, hey, they should have allowed this drunk person to come on board. Wow. As far as Steven grant go, let's be serious. They live in the upside down. So, you know, you can only expect so much, right? Yeah. All right, a few shout outs, so actually one shout out. This is pretty cool. The geek wire podcast has an episode out that has a conversation with our friend Isaac Alexander, along with Robin konig. On hype aviation. Did you guys get to listen to it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. It was. It was very good. And there's a lot of background. Personal background about Isaac in the things that he's done in the past, which I really enjoyed hearing. So that's on the geek wire dot com and we'll have a link to that particular episode in the show notes. And then for listener mail, while we heard from Patrick Wiggins, he sent us a link to a YouTube video. It's the 2023 state of NASA address from the administrator, Bill Nelson. And he talks some about the first a in NASA, the aeronautics, but a lot of other aspects as well. And it's not just strictly a talking head kind of a video. I mean, it includes that, but it's interspersed with other graphics and animations and things that NASA has done recently and will be doing, there are a lot of animations of upcoming space ventures and things that are kind of cool to look

Well, flying coffees, that could be also a very bad proposition for my era skyrocketing blood pressure grant. I know, right? You wouldn't even have to get up from the edit disk to get your next coffee. It would just be I'm sure you could train one of the dogs to bring it in from the backyard. Oh, that's a very good idea. I never thought of that. But yeah, so Google wing have been doing some trials in California with self loading drones and now they're about to do it here in Australia over the next half. I think it's the next year or so. And they've already been operating in Canberra and in parts of Brisbane, where they have done thousands of deliveries of such goodies as coffee, food, and light groceries. All right, so we could delete the light groceries. Who needs those food? Well, maybe, but coffee you say. I'm very interested in coffee. You had me at coffee. Well, apparently wing has delivered more than 330,000 packages in Australia since 2017. So yeah, yeah, you had a bit coffee folks, you heard it here first, Steve knew client as soon as they opened up in the right area of Melbourne, so get on that wing. Okay.

Yeah, ear plug is good with me on every airline flight. Wow, thanks for being our guest. Yeah, I really appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having me. The didgeridoo means it's time for the Australia news desk. Here's two of the craziest guys we could find south of the equator is Steve Fisher and grant mccarran from the plane crazy down under podcast. Dateline 12th of March 2023. Well, good idea facts. Welcome to the Australia disc for episode 741. Now grant, I think I'm finally getting my voice back after ever, and I've been a little bit scratchy and Craig the last few weeks. I think I may have just talked a little bit too much. Breathe in too much dust and air show stuff. Well, fortunately, you didn't get the dreaded lugi. There were a few people we know who got COVID at the air show, but we managed to avoid it thankfully. There's a sticker I went to this stinking air show and all I came back with was the case of COVID. Oh no. I think you might be right. Yeah, grant, we got a few things to talk about here this week, mate. And I think the first one probably the biggest news wise this week aviation wise in Australia is that the ATS B, the Australian transport safety bureau has released a preliminary report into the collision on the Gold Coast a month or two back of the two helicopters at sea world there. That's right, mate. Back in January, very tragic one coming down to land on a pad and the other one coming up off a different pad and sadly they both collided one just plummeted to the ground and the other one was able to do a couple of orbits and come down on the sandbar next to the other's wreckage. But the preliminary report is just that preliminary. It's facts. What they've been able to gather so far from eyewitness reports, video onboard and on the ground. All that kind of stuff. So they've got information together, but they don't have anything in there about. Oh, this was the cause or anything like that. It's just the facts, Jack. Yeah, it's more really, as you say, grand a summary. And in signifying probably some K areas that the IT is looking to investigate as this inquiry goes on. I think we would have mentioned at the time when we covered this that the full report is going to take many, many, many months before it comes there. Probably a year or two even before we really know what happened. They are noting here that they are well, they are signaling here at least that they are looking at the communications or perhaps like thereof between the aircraft. They're not saying that the standard and required radio communications and Barry might say that this is uncontrolled airspace that they were operating in, but still writing a procedure. They're not saying they didn't happen. The question is, if they did happen, perhaps, well, how come, you know, one helicopter wasn't aware that the other one had made that call. So those are things that are going to come out hopefully in the fullness of time. Exactly. Exactly. Also, of interest, they've got a 3D rendering of a pilot's view inside the Euro copters in question. So they're actually able to put those aircraft in the positions that are in with the ability to see what the pilot would have seen. So that's going to go a long way to indicating because apparently some of the onboard video from the passengers in the helicopter above was actually showing the aircraft, but it's possible to pilot wasn't able to see it due to the direction it was coming up to them from. Yeah, so as grant mentioned, it is a preliminary report. It's certainly not the full one. And it was a very, very tragic accident. And we all want to know, obviously, what happened and why it happened so that we can improve things and make sure it's always the case with such things like this. What can we learn from it and how can we mitigate the risk of it happening again in the future? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But hey, going a little bit further north from the Gold Coast where that accident tragically occurred, there's an island off Brisbane called stradbroke island. Also known as good old strategy. And somebody set up this really cool concept that just as soon as I read it, I'm like, oh, I have to do this. And your comment was, we have to interview them because they're called bruary. Right up your eyes. I could imagine that you flying me drinking. Hello. Just like doing a car trip. Yeah, really. Pretty much. But yeah, you fly out of acha field, and they fly you over north stradbroke island, and you actually consuming some of the couple of the beers from strade brewing company. And then you actually get to land on north street Rock Island and go and have lunch and a few orbeez at the actual brewery itself. And then you can jump on the ferry and come back and get your own way back, or you can pay a bit extra and have the aircraft stick around. And then they'll actually fly you back to Brisbane. I think this is brilliant. Now, there's only one caveat that I'd put on this grant, and that is, of course, hell plush is the aircraft interior because, you know, I actually think that I'd want it to be very, very basic and easily cleanable because just imagine if you get someone who's not really with flying in a light aircraft and you take them up and get them half tanked, well, that may not be a good outcome for those who have to clean. Said aircraft, I'm just saying. Well, it's only three cans, one's a log. Oh my goodness. Three kids would be out of my ear. Well, like I said, what's a pale aisle once a lager and the other is a pills that so if there's a couple of you on board sharing the can each. I mean, really, they even you wouldn't be that far gone on the equivalent of one can of lager. Say, I was like a very dodgy proposition to me, my friend. I did see sheepskin in the photos, so yeah, I think we've got to give this a whirl mate. Absolutely. We certainly have to check it out. If you want to check it out, strategy brew airy tours. It's a bit weird dot com are you and we'll put a link to that in the show notes in the show notes. Absolutely, where you can just click on it rather than have to pronounce it like I just tried three times. Anyhow, grant moving on to this last story here and flicking from something that you like to drink to something that I drink way too much of, and that's coffee. It looks like according to this headline in the new daily, it says, more flying coffees forecast as Google to expand drone tech.

"Mean, they deliver more airplanes than Boeing does. So we do events and so a great example is we did an event called the untapped talent pool. And that was really to showcase people that have barriers to employment and how people could think a little bit differently about how they hire people. I think there's a lot of misconceptions about what goes into hiring someone who might have some barriers to employment. So we have companies here in this region. There's actually quite a few nonprofit companies here that have social missions, so they help people that may have handicaps or they help people who are, there's a lighthouse for the blind and they help people that are blind. And then we have pioneer human services that actually helps people with second chance employment that have been in prison or drug rehabilitation and really helping people understand the fact that we need to widen the labor pool of candidates before so we can fill the amount of jobs that we need. So I think that when it comes to diversity, there's a bunch of different ways to look at it. And we try to put on educational events to help people understand what those look like. And through the cluster, we're certainly also doing work around that and helping we have scholarships for kids that are getting into school as well as creating next generation leadership tickets to our events are allowing students to come to our events and get them into the ecosystem as soon as possible. So we can help learn from them about what they want from the workforce. I think that that's a challenge there's a bit of a discrepancy between what the industry thinks that the workforce wants and what the upcoming generation of workforce truly wants. It's very different. And I think that we are going we are working on educating people on what that looks like and how to bridge that gap. Nikki, I wanted to give you an opportunity to say a little bit more about national women in aerospace day, may 20th. Tell us a bit more about what we can expect there. Yeah, so last year, I think it was like a year and a half ago. I registered may 20th for a national women and aerospace day. It was the day that Amelia Earhart took off on her flight, so I picked that day and registered it. And I've been on a campaign to try to get it internationally recognized last year the city of Kent here in Washington actually did a proclamation of the day and I have it on my wall here because we had the 230 women that came to our women in aerospace conference last year on May 20th, we had them sign it, so it was a kick off of the event. So we're trying my goal is to get it nationally and internationally recognized in as many spaces as possible. So we take that data celebrate all the work that's being done past present and future. We have our women and aerospace conferences coming up on May 18th this year at our theme is power of the past force of the future, and the goal of the day is really to create an arc of showcasing women who've really pioneered the industry all the way to ending with Alyssa Carson, if you don't know who she is, she's incredible. She's the NASA blue wary, and she's a young woman that is working to become the first human on Mars. And so we're building out this arc of really past present and future for the industry to showcase as much of the great work that's being done by women in the industry. Wow. You've really got to appreciate someone who wants to be the first human on Mars. I would not want to be the first human on Mars. Or the no, see, I don't think that's a problem at all. I think people are looking at this much too narrowly. I wouldn't mind being the first man on Mars at all. But I also want to be the first man to come back from Mars. Yeah, okay. Yeah, and if you read about her, she's fully recognized the idea of like, you don't really come back from Mars. It's a one way ticket. It's really interesting if you read up on her, I'm beyond excited to have her come. I've been fangirling out over her for years. Because she's been pursuing this for many years. And some of the stories show that her, her dad said that even around H three or four, she was like, that's what I want to do. And she's been pursuing it ever since. And she's coming to speak, which has me. What's your name again? Beyond excited. Alyssa Carson. Write that down, rob. Which is funny because there are a couple people I can think of. I'd like to send to Mars. One way trip. Or his initials, EM. One of our local companies here, they created a aerospace magazine focus for kids. It's called let's go aerospace. And if you want to read about her too, there is an article about her in the most recent issue of let's go aerospace. Okay, look for that. All right, Nikki, what are some resources? Of course, there's some websites that people can go to learn more or social media where you might be active. Where can people go to learn more? Yeah, so I'm most active on my personal LinkedIn and the P and a, the Pacific Northwest aerospace alliance LinkedIn as well as our website is WWW dot P and AA dot net and we will most of the cluster work that's being done will be promoting it there and on our LinkedIn so people can keep up on it and then they can reach out to us if they have any questions or want additional information. All right, very good. Thank you so much, Nikki, really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you. Really interesting. Yeah, yeah. You really know your stuff, Nikki. I try. Good amount of time in the industry. Well, I just keep wondering what your next position is going to be. And I think it's probably head of HR at Boeing or something like that. Well, let them know that. But no, we'll see. We'll see. How do you keep current? It must be a lot of networking. Tons of networking, I talk on the phone a large majority of the day. And I've been reading, but you know, attending other events and outside events and this role definitely gets me exposed to a lot of conversations that help move the industry forward. So it's amazing. Do you have other family members who are in aviation or aerospace or are you it? I am. My husband is a private has his private pilot's license, but no, that's really it. And I can tell that you are much hipper than any of us because your headset looks much better than ours.

"One of the things that we're working on doing is making a website that shows careers and aerospace and a road map because oftentimes when I was selling metal, I would get this. I didn't even know somebody had to sell metal to make an airplane, right? Oftentimes, people don't think about the supply chain that goes into making an airplane, and we don't connect those dots very well as an industry. And so someone who is machining might not really be that connected with wipe, what they're doing matters. And that's one of the things that we're really trying to focus on is creating this career scenario space road map that shows people all of the jobs that go into the aerospace industry, someone referred to it as a hundred hands of the supply chain to me. And I love that because there's so much opportunity to be a part of the industry that people don't know and oftentimes we don't have a great system for handing them off. So we might have these stem programs and there's some really incredible stem programs in Washington and the Pacific Northwest. And then we have some CTE schools, but then somewhere between their kids can get a little lost with what they're pursuing. And so we're going to be trying to create a website that connects those dots and fills that pipeline of workers all the way from zero to 5 showing kids what the stem programs and things that exist to help them in that age range all the way up through their career time. You mentioned that you wished that people in the United States looked at the trade side of the aerospace industry the way the Europeans do. Could you just elaborate on that a little bit? Yeah, from what I've seen, I think that the focus on trades, the way that the trades are spoken about are very different than the way that the trades have been spoken about in the U.S. and that it's the high esteem role. And it's absolutely critical to infrastructure and all of those things. We don't necessarily do that here as much. And so just really trying to put a focus on the fact that trades are just as critical as engineers and pilots and the fact that we need all of those to make the ecosystem work effectively. Yeah, and let me just add that I lived in Germany for a while. And it was clear that the educational system is set up to help create a funnel of people toward the trades. People, children, kids make a decision at a relatively early age as to which schools are going to attend. And they don't all attend for the same amount of years. People that are not attracted to go to college, they'll be in schools longer, people that are at the schools that are focused on the trades, they will be out of those schools at a much earlier age and become apprentices and start doing their work. And they're very uniform kind of oriented. So every time you see a trade's been working in Germany, you see them in their uniform, whereas here in the U.S., people are just dressed kind of randomly. And so I think it does kind of create an impression that, oh, this is something that's important that's getting done in our country. Absolutely. How about the role of governments? I imagine that in the Pacific Northwest, the government's there are fairly friendly towards the aerospace industry. Is that the case and also do you do any work or advocacy at the national level? That's a great question. So just in the time that I've been in this role, we have seen some great participation, especially from the state of Washington by putting in the innovation clusters, and they've also created an aerospace and aviation council that's really focused on the industry and helping support the industry, as well as there's a manufacturing council even here in Washington with a goal of doubling manufacturing jobs. So there's a lot of focus being put on it. Right now and support being given to help carry those things through. As far as advocacy, we don't we're not an advocacy organization. So we work with a couple of other advocacy based organizations in Washington, there's the aerospace futures alliance, and the association of Washington businesses does a lot of the advocacy work, but I serve on the aviation and aerospace council, which comes up with a lot of legislation that will be put forward to help take the industry forward, and that's where I participate on that side of it. One of the big things that keep you up at night, what are the big objectives or the big projects, the kinds of things that you look into the future and think about how that is going to be handled. That's a great question. Lots of things keep me up at night. The workforce is really the most critical one. So the I think my opinion is that the culture in aerospace needs to shift and in order to create the type of, in order to fill the pipeline of people, we need to get much more serious about diversity as an industry and how we approach that. Because we're leaving out a massive subsector of people because of our because of our more antiquated hiring practices and the industry has had this reputation, if you will, about being a really conservative industry. And that's one of the things certainly that I'm trying to affect in my role is showing people that we're human beings and that we are also a very fun industry once you're on the inside of it. Like all of the people that I've met are incredible and I've built these great relationships, but oftentimes from the outside, it doesn't appear that way, it seems very regimented and strict, which it is because we have certain quality expectations and things like that.

"So how we go to market as a region. So the goal of the innovation clusters is to drive innovation, promote new market opportunities and advance the industry. So we bring together how it's different from P and a versus the P and a C, is this the goal of it is really to be the connective tissue that drives together academics and investors and entrepreneurs and government and trade associations and industry altogether so that industry has a voice for how we're moving things forward. And maybe you can describe the types of companies that are how many companies are members of the alliance. We have a 252 members currently and they're made up of manufacturers as our main focus and then the companies and organizations that serve them. So in order to be a corporate member of P and AA, you have to have a location in the Pacific Northwest and we deem the Pacific Northwest, Washington organ, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia to Alberta. And so the entire region. And so you have to have a location in the Pacific Northwest or a full time employee that's dedicated to the Pacific Northwest before you can have voting rights to be in our membership and our corporate membership to help shape the direction of the organization. Is that 250 some corporations that are members and do you have individuals who are members as well? We do. So that includes everything. So I think we have about 80 individuals and the rest make up in corporations. Those include some associations, some of the other associations that exist but majority are manufacturers and service providers. And so you mentioned events. I understand that a delegation recently went to Australia for the Avalon show. Yeah, the state of Washington actually led that delegation to the Avalon air show. I was unfortunately not able to make it this year, but I understand it went really well. And so our events covered globally by either the state of Washington or the alliance. Yeah, so the global events typically Washington state has a delegation that they take the Washington state companies that want to be a part of that. And a lot of times that's covered by a step grant that Washington state offers. So there's some financial assistance to help companies go to those. But we are looking to start bringing delegations to the local aerospace shows like the MRO show space tech expo, things like that. That's something that in the future P and a is going to take on taking some delegations to those shows to really promote how robust the ecosystem is here, as far as manufacturing. Well, I think I've been to events conferences, air shows where I've seen displays by an organization or some group representing a particular state or a particular area. What's the pitch that's made? What's trying to be accomplished, you know, in that having that group there. Yeah, and what kind of incentives will you get us to move the podcast to Washington? Me being on it. Is that a good enough sentence? Sold. Might help. No, so the pitch really is that we have a built in ecosystem for manufacturing here in the region. We have everything from Kaiser aluminum and Spokane. So I always say we could build an aircraft all the way in Washington besides the engines. So we have an aluminum mill we have multiple manufacturers that span a broad list of capabilities from sheet metal to manufacturing 5 access all of those things. And we also have all of the finishing companies, all the outside processing. So we have a built in ecosystem to make airplane parts and components here that has been around for over a hundred years at this point has built up around the companies in this region. So it's a plug and play ecosystem for anyone looking to make large aircrafts or components. And did that grow up that way because of because of Boeing basically? Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think that we've seen people join in a lot of the space companies that are emerging here because we have that great blend of technology and the aerospace ecosystem here that exists. So it's going to be even more relevant. I think as new technology gets created, especially in sustainable aviation side of things because we have really cheap energy in Washington state. We're starting to see a lot of those companies pop up here too. So that built in ecosystem is a no brainer for companies that are looking to bring their aerospace manufacturing here. And especially when you look at a lot of the conversations that are happening around sustainability, I think that a big part of that that will be considered maybe isn't yet, but the travel time in between where you ship your parts, you know, you hear these stories about how one part comes to Washington and gets created and then gets sent all the way back to Germany. And then all the way back to Washington. And I think it's a sustainability conversation continues. You're going to see people starting to write sure or near shore a lot of these services. And I think that that is really what makes this an incredible region for aerospace manufacturing now and into the future is that we already have that. So the drive time to get all of these processes completed is shrunk down because we've built this incredible ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest. I'm curious northwest the northwestern part of the U.S. is known for aerospace. As Southern California used to be, I don't know, maybe 20, 25 years ago. But now with places like Alabama coming up for a new factory, let's use it just Boeing's factory. No way. It's Airbus that's in Alabama and Boeing is in South Carolina. South Carolina. Does Wichita play any part in this anymore? Are they kind of, you know? Yeah, without question which tall is a major player in aerospace. I mean, spared arrow systems is there and obviously they make a large amount of fuselages, but they also have niya there, which is the institute, the university that has some pretty incredible capabilities as well.

"Offer exchange programs where title changes, you give them the part that needs to be repaired, they give you back a different serviceable part for a fee and then your part your original part gets repaired. I don't know, Nikki, are there any of those kind of businesses in your region? Certainly, especially, I mean, on the MRO side ATS is the first one that comes to mind. There are definitely one of our members. They do more heavy check stuff than like an FAA that's more like a repair station, ANR, aviation services, there's some people in the south end that are more focused on things like that. But ATS does big heavy checks and checks, things like that. For sure, but there's not as many. I would like there to be more MRO companies here in Washington personally. Yeah, yeah. The OEM companies don't always fully don't always appreciate the serviceable part businesses that spring up. Of course, the operators like it because the maintenance cost goes down if they're able to get used serviceable parts versus buying brand new from the OEM. But it's a viable, it's an important part of the overall equation for how the maintenance works. Well, and certainly, given the supply chain challenges that are happening right now, material costs soaring, it's not surprising to me to hear that the components are more valuable in that case because everything is more valuable when you can't get a replacement at all. So it definitely changes the value of all these parts from the materials all the way to the component system level. So max, while you brought this up, the question for you, when these components end up going back for their serviceability documentation, since it's 7 87, do they all go back to Boeing, or do they go back to the individual component manufacturers? Who is allowed to certify that these meet the standard? Yeah, if it's a license repair shop, they can do that. And they'll inspect the parts against the manual. Usually against the OEM manual. And then decide if there are serviceable as is, you know, or if they don't fully meet the spec and need to be repaired or if they have to be overhauled, depends on the type of part as well. And there's all kinds of different rules that come into play here. Some parts are their serviceability is limited by hours. Some parts are limited by cycles. Take off and landing basically cycles, some parts. I know there's some airfoils that can be repaired a certain number of times. So once I'm familiar with, could be repaired twice. After that, there's scrap. So there's a lot that goes into this. And that repair industry is all over the world. I mean, it's a global business. And it's not unusual for somebody with an engine, maybe a CFM 56 to ship it to Singapore to an overhaul shop in Singapore and have it done there. And then for the parts to after the, in this case, the engines disassembled for the parts to go to repair shop component repair shops in Singapore or anywhere else in the world, depending on who's got the skill in the capacity to perform that kind of work. It's really an interesting business. Yeah, a quick trip to the MRO show would show you just how many companies there are that do that kind of work. And as well as the PMAs where they make them, they have the authority to make the parts. And aftermarket. Right, right. PMA parts manufacturing authority. I think it is parts. Prime manufacturing. Yeah, something like that. But you just say PMAs. Yes. Right. And those are companies that have been granted the ability to manufacture new parts just like the OEM would manufacture or purchase from a component manufacturer. That part. In some cases, they are the component manufacturer. So if you buy the Boeing part or the PMA part, they might be manufactured in the same place. But not necessarily always. All right, again, we're speaking with Nikki Malcolm. Nikki, welcome to the podcast. The CEO and executive director of the Pacific Northwest aerospace alliance, maybe you can give us the elevator pitch for what the P and AA offers to the region to the companies that are your members. Yes, thank you so we're a nonprofit trade association and our mission is to support the growth and global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest aerospace cluster and we do that through we have a lot of big events, so we just recently had our advanced conference in February where we get between 5 and 700 people from all over the globe. We have educational events. We provide market intelligence, B2B, meetings, and networking are the biggest majority of what we do. That supports people growing their business and understanding how to be more competitive in the market. You mentioned the Pacific Northwest aerospace cluster. What does that exactly? Yeah, great question. So we were awarded last year we were awarded an innovation cluster acceleration grant, and there were multiple clusters awarded in the state of Washington, two of which have to do with aerospace. So we have ourselves the Pacific Northwest aerospace cluster as well as the sustainable aviation technologies and energies. So both are focused on aerospace. And what ours is is we took on 5 topic 5 focus areas that were helping essentially modernize the current manufacturing ecosystem. So we do that through workforce, supply chain mapping, environmentally sustainable manufacturing industry four. So innovation manufacturing innovation. And then the global marketing.

"Been in Cleveland up until they switched to Reno, but maybe one of our sharp eared listeners knows more about that. Yeah. So this year there are September being held September 13th through 17th. You know, I think the challenges you'd want to have them somewhere near a metro area just to draw the crowds, but you also want them to be some area where the noise is not going to bother the local residents. I think it's going to be a challenge to figure out where to cite this. Yeah, where would that place be that the noise around an airport wouldn't bother the local residence, especially the ones that moved in a few years after the, you know, when the land started to open up around an airport and said, oh, no, we don't care about an airport. It's fine. But you got to fly. California. There you go. There's one. I was thinking Edwards Air Force Base. So you and I were in the same neck of the Woods. What about San Bernardino? I mean, Sam Bernardino could be a Cheeto is also, you know, it's a little busy, but San Bernardino's just digging out from the how much snow did they get ten feet or something? Some of the mountains, yeah. Anyway. I was talking with the people that put on the Alberta international air show. And there certainly, you know, trying to build that air show out even bigger. So Alberta is an answer to that question as well. It's not in the U.S., but it's in North America. So there would be the Canadian national championship air races. North America? We'd be outsourcing our air races. That just doesn't seem right. Yeah. Well, there's just options. The Alberta international air show, August 4th through 6th, 2023. Albert is Albert is going to come up when we talk about participation at OshKosh. I even told Robert this yet, but yeah, I'm going to be in Alberta. During OshKosh. This year. So my plans. No can't bacon for max. I'll take a spot. I make bacon. Somebody needs to do, but have you come to air venture Nicky? Have you been there? I have not, which is insane because it's actually my birthday weekend. And I've been wanting to forever. So I will likely do it this year. But I'll definitely be at the Alberta air show. All right, that sounds great. Yeah, OshKosh is fantastic I've only been the one year once. To escape the pestering by rob. And it worked. No it didn't I found you anyway. Yeah, you did. Among the 5 or 600,000 visitors, I tracked you down, didn't I? You did. You very much did. Yes. Did you see that JBL M1 is coming back this year, which I'm very excited about. The JBL air show, the joint base Lewis mccord. They're bringing their show back. How are they? Very exciting. It's actually how I found my love of aerospace was through that show. At an air show. Yeah. At that JBL M1. Wow. That was when I first was like, I think it was a B two flew over it, and my stepdad at the time was explaining, you know, what a stealth bomber is and what all of that was. And that was really weird. I was like, wow. Probably 11 or 12. Ah, see, that's how you got into this, you know, promoting aviation to women and stuff. That's really cool. Yeah. Certainly how I stayed. But I think that age you mentioned is kind of the sweet spot. You know, I consistently hear people are kind of in a ten to 1213. I mean, that's really the range I think where the bug occurs. So it's so important to expose young kids to aviation because if not, they're going to get some other bug at that age. And especially with little girls, all of the studies show that after a 5th grade is where they start to lose their focus towards stem science and math and technology is where they start to see that interest drop off. So that's certainly a somewhere that we're looking to target. Getting more girls and young kids exposed is in 5th grade. Yeah, that's interesting so I had heard that age statistic before. All right, one more story from CNN. Two ten year old Boeing 7 8 7 dreamliners are already being scrapped. So these are two former Norwegian air shuttle 7 8 7 8. They're being parted out at press wick airport near Glasgow. In Scotland, and these work, sorry. Glasgow. Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland. These were delivered in June and August 2013, I guess. He probably says Illinois. Illinois. Our Kansas I will hang up the call. So these are the first dreamliners to be retired. Now they've been stored since 2019. They are actually part of a group of 35, 7, 8, 7s that were grounded due to problems with engine blades, which were cracking. There were some premature corrosion and so forth. But even though they found a solution to that issue, the planes never went into service again. And then we had the pandemic. So the group that's managing the disassembly is, I say, is air trade, EIR trade, aviation, Dublin based company. They're managing that disassembly. And it sounds kind of shocking on the face of it because the planes are so, so young. But economics comes to play here, the two aircraft were coming up on their 12 year heavy maintenance check and so that was going to cost millions of dollars. So when you take a look at the economics of the airplane as a whole and the value as parts and sometimes it swings in the direction of the parts. The engines have been pulled already. That's usually the first thing to go. When you're parting out an aircraft, the engines are usually the most valuable part and this is a typical process. The components are sent to be inspected, repaired, and overhauled. Which is the process whereby they get their serviceability documentation so that they can be resold. Or least or exchanged. So sometimes these businesses have a lucrative exchange business where an MRO shop say overhauling an engine takes out a part, it's not serviceable. It's not the spec, it needs to be repaired. So instead of waiting the 30, 60, 90 or more days to get it repaired, companies

"They had to yell at passengers to get them to move because people would just be in shock and they were just, they would just sit there. And that's why they're there is to get out, get out, get out and leave your damn carry on bags there. So thank goodness for them. Yeah, I just pulled up the story about the delta increase for pilots and American has said that apparently they will match it, but that includes a 21% pay increase in the first year it says that captain's flying narrow body planes could make 475,000 at the top of the scale up from the current pay by an increase of a 135,000 while the most senior captains of wide bodies would after I believe four years be making $590,000 a year at $170,000 increase from today. All I can say is I think those cheap airline tickets that we were used to are gone. I don't know if you've noticed, but the cost of tickets this year I read is 94% above what they were last year and based on what I've been paying. Yep, they're definitely up. Our listener rich sent us an item and we have a article on that topic from one mile at a time. It's American Airlines, CEO offers pilots up to $590,000 in pay. That's what you guys were just talking about and the article makes the point that during the pandemic, or at least the beginning of it, the pilots didn't have too much negotiating leverage. But that's different now. Pilots are in such high demand and are kind of in the driver's seat to a certain extent if you're trying to negotiate a new contract as the article says, you've seen pilots that Alaska airlines and Delta Air Lines negotiate new contracts in other pilots and other airlines are trying to do the same. Interestingly, in this case, with American Airlines, the CEO Robert isom is set a letter to the pilots. That's where this $590,000 pay comes up, which is kind of essentially a contract offer. Which is very strange because normally that's done behind closed doors with the company and the union representatives and not by memo from the CEO. So that's a little bit different. I think they're doing that to make themselves look good because they knew in the end they would probably end up having to pay anyway and why not make a little positive PR out of it by saying folks will just we'll just give you this can you live with it and people are going, well, okay. So but again, if I were in the PR department, that's what I would be telling the CEO. But I might be wrong. So Nikki, I imagine that most of the members of the alliance in the Pacific Northwest aerospace alliance are companies that many of them probably have labor unions involved in them. Are you just interacting more at the corporate level, the company level or do you interact with union leadership? So we interact at the business level, but we certainly have a relationship with the units. They attend our conference. They have tables that are conference and things like that. So I would say we participate, but we're not. Our membership focus is really on the corporations and the manufacturing companies in the ecosystem, as well as the companies that support them. Sure, that's what I would have expected. So I think it's and I didn't know the answer to the question, but I think it's pretty great that the labor unions do have a role in participating in all this. Yes. All right, move on to the next story. This came in from David Reno stead airport to hold its final national championship air race event in 2023. The national championship air races have been taking place just outside Reno since 1964. And many people just simply call them the Reno air races. It's kind of like people call EAA air venture OshKosh. People just call it the Reno air races. But the Reno air racing association has issued a statement and that they say while we knew this day might come, we had hoped it wouldn't come so soon. Citing the region's significant growth among other concerns, the Reno Tahoe airport authority has made the decision to sunset the event. So last year for the Reno air races at Reno, the national championship air races at Reno, it appears. I guess they're looking for other locations, but I don't know where they would do that. Alaska. And actually, that might make some sense because what they're saying is that the region's growth was one of the concerns. I take that to mean that the residents that living by are complaining about the noise, certainly the people I've talked to have been to Reno. Say that these are incredibly loud. That's the way I took it too. And I think that commercial service that comes in there is an impact, can be an impact. That's one of the challenges that most of those regions face with those air shows is the commercial service. Well, and I think this is at the Reno steady report. So it's a little bit a few miles away from the big main airport. But yeah, I've always thought of them as the Reno races. It's just hard to believe that they won't be in Reno anymore. But okay, do you remember anybody remember where they used to be before they were in Reno Cleveland? I have no idea. I thought they were always in Reno. He's such a smart aleck. He knows all the answers. Cleveland, is that correct? Oh, yeah, yeah, they used to be in Cleveland. I don't know if there was an interim between Cleveland and Reno, but let's see. If they've been in Reno for what did they say? 60 four 65 years. That would put it back.

But something else that sometimes sneaks up on us is rob Mark. No, he's a contributing editor to business and commercial aviation, part of the aviation week group. He's a business jet pilot, a CFI. He's been an air traffic controller, and he publishes the jet wine blog. Hey, good evening. And I resemble that sneaking up on you comment. But no, it's nice to be here because now I can pick on you guys instead of David. Who knows what awaits you? Yeah, David zoff this week, a little under the weather. Hopefully he'll be feeling better. I'm sure he will be for next week. Well, our guest this episode is Nikki Malcolm. She's CEO and executive director at the Pacific Northwest aerospace alliance. Now that's a nonprofit organization that promotes the growth and global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest. Now, Nikki has spent the past 23 years dedicated to the aerospace industry. She's had roles in supply chain, business development, executive leadership, and companies ranging from materials to manufacturing and testing. And we're also told she's obsessed with all things aviation and aerospace, including manufacturing. Wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We're told, I'm sorry. The journalist here has got to find out what's your source, max. What's my source? I have just all kinds of sources that tell me things, including observing the background behind Nikki and Oliver airplane models and things. And lots of books, I'm sure those books are mostly aviation. Are those all aviation related books, Nikki? They are a little bit of everything. Personal development and aviation books. Very good. One thing about Nikki is she encourages others to join the aerospace industry. She volunteers on multiple trade school advisory boards and stem education programs looking to promote the message that aerospace is for everyone. And to support the effort of encouraging more women and girls to join the aerospace industry, she registered national women in aerospace day for may 20th. This year, 2023. Are you spearheading national women in aerospace day, Nikki? I am, yes, I am trying very hard to make it as big as possible. And really, national and international, I would like it to be as big as possible a day to highlight all the work that's being done by women in the industry. Very good. And we also understand your looking to perhaps get your pilot, your private pilot's license this year. Have you been working towards that? I am going to be starting ground school here in the next month or so. So max, if you have any tips for me, I'd be happy to hear them. Yeah, these two guys, max trescott and rob will have lots of advice, I think. And that's max flights advice. Talk to us. Very little of which you should probably take. All right, well, we're going to talk about the Pacific Northwest aerospace alliance coming up and how aerospace plays such a significant role in that region of the country. But first we have some aviation news from the past week to talk about. Is everyone ready? We're ready from the west. Ready in the Midwest. Ready? For story comes from paddle your own canoe dot com. This is American Airlines flight attendants demand 35% hike in hourly pay rates and boarding pay in latest contract proposals. Rob, this comes from the association of professional flight attendants, right? Right. And this is a story that has been following me for decades because even when I flew for a crummy little regional carrier out of Chicago decades ago, the pilots were paid not better than the flight attendants, but differently. The pilots had a guarantee. I think it was 75 or 80 hours a month. So that no matter what happened, at least we had something to count on to pay the bills. But flight attendants have never had that. And I remember dearly having a conversation with somebody always before the pandemic and we had a long stop on the ground at midway. And I said something to the flight attendant back in the galley later on when we were flying and I said, so did you guys ever work that out in your contracts that you guys get paid when you're not in the air? She went, nope. Oh my God. And to this day, I can not believe that the even get people to take those jobs and thank God that they do, because you wouldn't have much of a flight crew if it was only the people up front, but I really applaud this pay increase as well as the additional caveat that they're going to get boarding pay. They don't even get paid for the time they're helping bozos like max and I find our seats and they often help lift those big heavy bags up because old guys like us can't lift those bags and put them in the overhead bin and now seriously, but I'm for years I thought no you guys are kidding. They couldn't possibly be not being paid for that, but they were. So this is really a big step forward, I think. They're asking I understand for boarding pay that's 50% of the standard hourly rate. So it's not even the full hourly rate. It's 50%, which I think is the same as what was negotiated with Delta. The union, the AP FA is also looking for pay increases for galley work in night shifts. Also increased per diem allowance rates. And a me too clause, and this is something where they would automatically get increased allowance if the pilots want to hire rate. I saw another version of this story someplace else and the headline in quotes was we want what the pilots get. And I thought, wow, that's because this week, in fact, the last two weeks we've had some incredible pay raises announced by Delta and American where senior captains are going to be close to 600 grand a year, which is just, it's unheard of. So I thought they're going to take a pay raise like not quite that much, but again, it's time that the men and women that work in the back and they're not there as waiters and waitresses that are there to keep our butts out of trouble when the airplane as an issue. I mean, I know flight attendants have told me that when they were in an accident, they had to yell at a patient's, I'm sorry.

"Welcome to true. Mysteries of the pacific northwest stories of strange and unexplained people places and events often obscured by the miss of time. I'm your host. Ken chrome today a mystery. Aircraft over oregon. No this isn't one more ufo sightings and the incident didn't take place several decades ago as a matter of fact in the research. I could come up with the october. Twenty fifth data. The siding. But the year was inconclusive. This was from the freedom of information act. I got this story. It was late october. Something flew over. Portions of oregon. Whatever it was to fight all attempts at identification. The date was october twenty fifth when air traffic controllers started questioning commercial airline pilots flying between portland and seattle asking if they could identify a mystery. Object the craft and question didn't have it's traffic collision avoidance system transponder on and it was not responding to air traffic controllers attempts at communication. Perhaps most disturbing was. It could not be picked up on radar. Pilots responded that they had seen the object but had not come close enough to identify the aircraft at this point several oregon air national guard f fifteen fighters out of portland. International were sent to check out the mystery craft but reported no sightings when the craft was reported near crater lake controllers begin to get responses from pilots. The craft was variously described as flying north at between thirty five and forty thousand feet. One pilot reported that the bird was twelve to fifteen miles away. Others reported twenty miles. Several pilots estimated the airspeed at around four hundred twenty five miles an hour. Finally the pilot of united flight six twelve when queried by air traffic controllers if he saw the mystery aircraft responded. Yeah we got him. He's about four miles away in a later report. He described the object in question as white speck about four or five thousand feet above us following us for some time. Certainly truly this was an unidentified. Flying object speculation runs from being a government test flight to the navy's m q twenty-five stingray drone if indeed it was a military test craft and it was designed like the modern stealth fighter to fly undetected by radar and perhaps unlike the stealth fighter that could be spotted and identified from the ground. This new craft sported a design that made that impossible. Indeed like the title of this program boasts. The craft that flew over oregon on october. Twenty fifth was a strange and claimed event. Now the joanna bride dungeness bay cozy murder mystery series continues book one storm front chapter five. Joanna had cleaned up the apartment. She had picked up the manuscript notice.

"Welcome to true mysteries of the pacific northwest stories of people places events often obscured by the mrs of time. I'm your host. Ken crumb did you know that. All of america skyjackings only one remains on solved. You know which one does name db cooper mean anything to you on november twenty four nineteen seventy-one a passenger using the name. Dan cooper hijack northwest orient airlines. Flight three oh five headed from portland oregon to seattle washington after threatening to blow up the plane with a bomb. Cooper demanded four parachutes and two hundred thousand dollars fearing the worst northwest airlines agreed. Once the ground seattle cooper let the other passengers and some of the flight crew off the plane and had the money imperatives brought on board. The plane refuel took off again. And at ten thousand feet. Cooper jumped from the back stairs the boeing seven twenty seven into the pacific northwest night. He was never seen again to this day. It's one of america's greatest unsolved robberies or skyjackings but thanks to a recent book. One of the most promising leads is actually fairly new. One kenneth peter christiansen a former northwest. Airlines employ was never really a former suspect in the dvd cooper case but now thanks to the book into the blast. By robert blevins kenny christianson has come to the forefront of possible suspects. This case has never been closed by the fbi. By the way. And says i would say i'm ninety percent to ninety five percent. Certain to christianson was d b cooper. He worked for the airline. He had a paratrooper training background. He had the opportunity. He had a lot of unexplained spending within a few months after the hijacking. He lent his best friend's sister. Five thousand dollars in cash to buy a house then. He used another sixteen thousand dollars to buy another house for himself. As far as i can tell blood and says ken. Christianson had one life before the hijacking and a completely different one afterwards. Okay when you look at the numbers you definitely start smelling something fishy. While working for northwest airlines. Christianson never earned more than five hundred and twelve dollars a month. That's a month which even in the early one thousand nine hundred seventy s didn't go far yet. Within a few months of the skyjackings he suddenly had a stash of cash to throw around. So why didn't the fbi take a harder work at christianson. As a suspect author blevins chalks the oversight up to three preconceptions. The fbi brought to the case. One christianson didn't match eyewitness descriptions of the sky jacker to he had no previous criminal history and three. Fb i didn't believe that the sky jacker had military training in his background. Now according to blevins the author the parachute the devi cooper actually with called a navy backpack six and it's a smaller parachute more of the military type. The sky jacker must've been a pretty tough guy. Blevins says according to blevins. Kenny went through paratrooper training. Where they started out with two hundred sixty two men and ended up with eighty. That actually finished the course and he was one of them. All of these factors have convinced author. Blevins that he's cracked a db cooper case. He says i think he jumped out of the back of that. Seven twenty-seven hit the ground popped off his parachute disconnected the harness and the container from it buried a silk part and put his briefcase in the money bag in the container for the parachute. Put it on his back and walked out of the forest. And that's the first half of this podcast on db cooper and what happened to him and what happened to two hundred thousand dollars. Be sure to listen. Wednesday for the second part or in the conclusion of what happened to db cooper in that two hundred thousand dollars. This is kick crumb. Thanks for.

"Welcome to kiss myths and mysteries. I'm your host kit crump and my month long investigation into ghost. you know. i've been talking about ghost stories and we've done some special podcast with ray raucous who was visiting ireland and a haunted castle. Now it's back to ghosts and asking the question what goes slope like. When many people think of ghosts the image in their mind is of a human form that is somewhat translucent or that glows in the dark or floats in the air. However many people also witness ghost that appears floating balls of light or orbs of energy according to janice rayleigh co-founder of ghosts preservation league a group of professional and amateur paranormal investigators. By far the most common phenomenon caught on film as of an orb or spear we have seen some luck. Like small bubbles cinnamon buns and bad cases of the hives they can occur as single orbs in clusters rolling clumps be brightest stars be barely visible. They can look radically different but are recognized. As the same general type of phenomenon what are the orbs. What are these orbs that are captured on film. Some people insist that they are trapped. souls rarely added. We don't know for sure what they are but we have thought a times about what they are and where they are found. You can almost always catch an orb or two in any cemetery. You can also catch them. However were there are no burials whatsoever. Nissen vapor or other forms of energy that some believed to be paranormal rayleigh reports that based on her experience on occasion. They accompany or cause a cold spot. Now this is probably the most common. This is the feeling that you just walked inside a freezer but it is contained in one generalized area. There are gases to measure thermal variants. But it seems pretty obvious when it happens one minute. You're just fine. The next you are much colder with the hair standing up on your arms or the back of your neck. There have been a few times when the very cold air around feels almost electric crackling. Sometimes crackling sounds were heard. Aside from orbs vapors forces known as voices are very concentrated forms of energy. These forces are often described as a kind that caused the hair on the back of your neck to stand at attention. Vortex is a massive air water or in this case energy. Now that was from chain rayleigh. Now we're going to go to another expert and talk about some of the characteristics. Are some things about gauche. You need to know. This is from echo bodine. Oftentimes it's better that the owner resident of a house. Tell the goes to leave and go toward the light. I because it's empowering to the resident to know he or she can make this happen and also because it gives the message loud and clear to the ghost that it is not wanted. The more fuss that's made about a ghost the more ghosts you'll attract portals are things from our world into the spirit world the most common way to create one of these portals by working the ouija board because it's inviting communication the problem with opening ourselves up to the spirit world without what we're doing is that we attract all kinds of souls to us that may not be so favourable if you suspect you have a portal in your home asked university. Close it up and read up on psychic protection. This is nothing to mess with. Goes can be very self serving. They do what they want without consideration of what it's doing to others. Don't ever let a ghost habits way with you no matter what that means. If you suspect that you are being taken over by a ghost do not under any circumstances put up with it. They need to honor boundaries. Just like the rest of us and this is from echo bodine. She continues ghosts and spirits. In general have no concept of time they can remain in the same room or area for years and years never given any thought to how long they've been dead or how much life is changing around them. They can literally be stuck at a point in time in their consciousness. Honesty is the best way to handle a situation like this. Tell the goes. This is the year two thousand or two thousand twenty or two thousand and twenty one. Whatever the case is important for you to move to the light sharon bauer. Someone i've interviewed on. This show says that there is a curtain. She describes it as occurred. So when you die you're on the one side and then you pass through to the other side some people who died depending upon how they die. It said that they don't know they're dead. They may not recognize it. They may do things to disturb you because they want you out of that house. Which when they died was there's well there you have it some information on ghosts themselves and on wednesday i will be presenting a variety of go stories once again.
