Care to go flying, anyone? The wind is right down Care to go flying, anyone? The wind is right down the runway! (For you non-pilots, that's southwesterly winds at 34 gusting to 54mph. Big-time Red-Flag weather...)

Grab your logbook, 'cause it's time for a holiday Grab your logbook, 'cause it's time for a holiday weekend treat, "Captain Midnight," Greg Brown's Cockpit Adventures from the Flying Carpet Podcast #21! As you’ve likely heard, the final Learjet was recently delivered following almost 60 years of production. I was a kid when the Lear 23 was first introduced in 1964. Although a few other corporate jets were flying by then, most companies still motored around in relatively slow, unpressurized piston airplanes, many of them repurposed WWII-era bombers and freighters. The Lear was so sleek, sexy, and fast in comparison that it seemingly arrived from the future, revolutionizing air travel as evidenced by some 3,000 aircraft delivered over so many years. Today’s episode is a tribute to the Learjet via “Captain Midnight,” Frank Rosenstein, one of the model’s early captains⸺ the most dashing pilot I’ve ever known, who along the way inspired me and other enthusiastic kids to earn their wings, following in his footsteps. If you enjoy this podcast, please share with friends!
