Guest: Matt Hall Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Kolja Dummann
Matt Hall is a pilot at the Red Bull Air Race and a professional aerobatics/air show pilot, and in this episode we talk about both. We start out with how Matt got into flying through gliders and ultralights. We then discuss competition aerobatics and air show flying, and the difference between the two. We continue with air racing and take a look at his MXS-R airplane, which, at the time of recording, was at the DG factory in Bruchsal, where we met for the recording. We conclude the episode with a brief discussion of his military flying, which included the F-18 for the RAAF and the F-15E on exchange with the USAF.

I was aware of Red Bull Air Race buy never paid that much attention. This episode brought out the awesomeness of it. I will definitely be watching next time it’s on TV.
Can we give this a 6 star rating? Really cool.
