This is a Restartez production.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to a supplemental episode of Black Boxdown. It's Gus and Chris. Hello Chris.

Hello, supplemental, but still good.

Still great. Amazing.

Yeah, so, you know, for people who haven't maybe haven't been listening very long, we typically do ten incidents, slash accidents, and then take a little bit of time to research the next batch of episodes.

And in that intermediate time, we do supplemental content. Still all aviation related. Sometimes we talk about movies. Sometimes we just talk about other ancillary aviation things.

And it's just a way to keep producing content while we're not doing what I would say, like core episodes.

Yeah.

And one episode we did last year, a little over a year ago, is we talked about the process of becoming a pilot and learning how to fly.

Yeah, because Gus, you just started taking lessons about what, like, a few months prior.

Like shortly before that, I think at the time we did that episode, I had about ten hours of flight time, if I remember right.

Now I'm up to like 140. I have a pilot license and I'm working on what they call an instrument rating.

And we've talked about this before, what that does is that the kind of license you get initially allows you to fly clear of clouds basically.

You're spoiling some of the questions I have.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm just trying to give, I'm just trying to, you're right, you're right. I'm just trying to give it over you, but you're right.

What, in that case, what questions do you have?

Wait, but before we do that, because yeah, what we do is, we're going to talk with Gus about like how it's been going through lessons and what he's been through since then.

But be sure to check out our merch. It's holiday's time. It's a great gift stuff. There's probably some really good sales going on right now.

And if not, it's a really good gifts regardless.

Yeah, we got shirts, mugs, stickers. We also have our premium memberships, which you can find out more information about at blackboxdownpod.com, or you can look on Apple podcasts or Spotify for more information on that.

You get episodes early and ad free, but of course that's on top of merchandise, which is all great. I love all of the merch that we have.

We have fun merch. That's like the bad attitude shirt, which is a plain flying upside down with this frowny face.
