97. DC-3s, warbird pilots, and the art of flying, with Martha Lunken
Few pilots have lived as interesting a life as Martha Lunken: from giving checkrides in DC-3s to teaching Neil Armstrong’s wife to fly, she has met some of aviation’s most colorful characters and flown some of aviation’s most iconic machines. She tells plenty of those fascinating stories in this episode—and shares some controversial opinions along the way. In the Ready to Copy section, Martha talks about what she would do as FAA administrator, flying the Lockheed Lodestar, and life as an accident investigator.SHOW LINKS:Martha on warbirds: https://www.flyingmag.com/pilots-places-pilots-adventures-more-unusual-attitudes-warbirds/Martha’s book: https://www.sportys.com/unusual-attitudes-by-martha-lunken-paperback.htmlPilotWorkshops: https://pilotworkshop.com/
