Fantastic podcast episode. First off, I top my hat to all the ladies that help make that place run. That was very Iditarod to see a glimpse of the guys whether at work or home that we may never see on film. I would totally love to see an episode of they ladies flying being that I am a HORRIBLE pilot, I am sure they are all more experienced than me. Give me something to shoot for. I know I won't be a Josh Bixler over night.

My wife listened to the whole show with me and could relate to a lot of what the ladies said. She said that a wife support group sounds like a great idea. Very good show, thank you all.

I enjoyed the podcast.

I had some work in the north Canton area so I decided I would try to find the FliteTest facility. With limited information I was able to find the building. I went inside and only found two people there one of which I believe was Lindsey. They were manning the lasers in the FliteTest sweatshop. I asked if the guys were in and she said they were out on a shoot. Or at least that's what they told her. :-) I didn't get to see the flight test crew but Lindsay tried her best to make me feel welcome. Even though she was very busy she was very charming. I didn't stay long because I didn't want to waste her time but I'm glad I stopped. You're all a very special group of people and I enjoy your work immensely.

I really enjoyed this podcast, since I now have a family. I really hope to one day get my wife and little girls into RC. It's great to hear of candid thoughts on the subject. With that I end this saying: I'm jealous of your wives' support in the hobby since mine is mostly indifferent. Keep up the good work.

Definitely would wear a pink shirt. In fact pink is my favorite color :D I live in Europe though so that could be a problem :/

Just listened to this podcast. I think there needs to be a "WifesOfFliteTest" facebook page. I think my wife would be the 1st to join, and then my flying buddies wifes. ;) Anyhow, great podcast.

I think the Flite Test ladies should do a monthly show. I am inspired by thier dedication. I am a daughter of an airline sheet metal mechanic. My Dad taught and talked about airplanes as I sat near his tool bench watching his skilled hands. Our new suburban house was located on the high end of the KCI airport flight pattern. (maybe not by accident) He identified the planes in the air and would talk about his latest project. Now I am sitting at my work bench in the basement listening to the FT ladies, watching videos and working on my own FT Flyer. Thanks for the nudge back into the world of flight. Let's get those pink FT shirts in production. Girl Power!

Great podcast. It was great to hear the behind-the-scenes stories, a little sad to hear how Josh doesn't remember when he last flew just for the fun of it, and very heartening to hear how a good job with good people can really make a difference in someone's life. In many ways, Flite Test has made me long for a job that I love, with people I want to work with.out is definitely an inspiration to know that a labor of love can turn into a business that employs many people, and that enriches those who work there. Great job folks, here's wishing you continued success inn the future.
