PJP #028 - Captain Cary Grant

SPECIAL GUEST:
The crew welcomes Cary Grant (his real name), former Air Force pilot, captain for a major U.S. airline, Tri-pacer owner and FAASTeam member to discuss his career, flying and the FAA Safety Team.
FAASafety.gov:
The FAASTeam's home on the web is http://FAASafety.gov. Their mission is to improve the Nation's aviation safety record by conveying safety principles and practices through training, outreach, and education. At the same time, FAASTeam Managers and Program Managers seek to establish meaningful aviation industry alliances and encourage continual growth of a positive safety culture within the aviation community.
CFIStew Aviation Challenge:
CFIStew poses a new challenge question for listeners: We all know how Pilots love their acronyms. TOMATO-FLAMES, FLAPS etc. With this month’s contest we want you to come up with your own aviation themed acronyms. Be creative! The crew will pick their favorites on the next show, and the winner will receive one of the great WindTee Altimeter T-Shirts. The deadline for entry is 2400 Zulu, 31 March, 2011. Entries should be emailed to , posted to Twitter with a mention of @PilotsJourney, posted to our Facebook wall at http://facebook.com/pilotsjourney, or via voice mail at 330-3-JOURNEY (that's 330-356-8769 for the phone-spelling challenged).
Tip Jar:
With a little coaxing (very little...) we've added a tip jar to our web site for those that wish to help defray the costs of production and hosting. We don't expect to recoup the hundreds of dollars per year spent on hosting, nor the thousands spent on equipment, travel, and various Pilot's Journey swag items, but every little bit helps. (Besides, who gets into flying for the money?) We sincerely appreciate and thank those that have been so kind to contribute, especially since, until now, we've made it difficult to do so. We're also looking for sponsors that have a product or service they think would be of interest and benefit to our listeners. Contact us at for more information.
