Our guest this week was Kent Paser.  Kent is the author of "Speed With Economy" which is one of my favorite books.  Kent is an aeronautical engineer and aircraft homebuilder.  This book gives details on how he was able to modify his Mustang II to increase the top speed by 64 MPH, cruise speed by 60 MPH, climb rate by over 800 FPM, and economy cruise fuel consumption was reduced by 50%.  This book is a must read for anyone that wants to modify an experimental aircraft for more performance.

Be sure to check out the book web site at www.speedwitheconomy.com and get your own copy.  You can also email Kent at paserpubs@mindspring.com or call him at 303-904-3417.

This week was one of our favorite shows.  We had legendary aviation writer, photographer, flight instructor, and pilot of nearly everything that has existed with wings, Bud Davisson on the show.  Bud spoke to us about his writing and flight test reports, Pitts training, the Bearhawk, and other subjects.  We could probably talk to Bud for a dozen shows in a row and not run out of interesting things to talk about.  Hopefully we will have him on the show again soon.

We had an aviation education themed show this week.  Most of us involved in aviation know how aviation can inspire young people.  We also know that aviation can be very expensive and can seem out of reach for many people.  We had two guests this week that are working to change that.

Judy Rice is the president of Careers in Aviation.  www.careersinaviation.org   Careers in Aviation advances aerospace education and employment by fostering scholarships, by connecting students with available assistance, and by encouraging the aviation industry, professional associations, government agencies, and the educational community to work together effectively supporting aviation and space career development programs.

Colonel Jack D. Howell is the president of Teens-in-Flight.  www.teens-in-flight.com  Teens-in-Flight provides flight training and aviation maintenance scholarships to those teens who have lost a parent in the Global war on Terrorism or, is the teen of a parent who was wounded in action and is disabled. Another phase of our program also focuses on selected teens that are considered "at risk" within our community by providing a positive aviation intervention experience.

Our sponsor for this week's show was Phoenix Flight Publications.  www.phoenixflightpublications.com  They are the publisher of the "Aviation Scholarship Directory" which lists practically every flight training scholarship in the U.S. and also includes guides on how to help you get those scholarships.  This book is a must have for anyone looking for money to fulfill an aviation goal for themselves or their children.
