EAA Chapter 84 Podcast

Cliff Brown tells us an amazing story of how a single event in his childhood led to a lifelong fascination with aviation which ended up compelling him to get his private pilot certificate along with the combination of using that certificate throughout his work life. Believe it or not, Cliff tells a great story about how his ability to fly an airplane saved the world from a meltdown disaster. We end the podcast with the latest chapter news and announcements. Happy New Year!

If you have ever wondered how the chapter found a home at Harvey Field in Snohomish Washington or how the chapter acquired such a premium hangar on Harvey Field then you will enjoy our talk with the man responsible for it, Tom Mahon. Tom was a member of the chapter for many years, along with being Vice President and Secretary, so he has an abundant amount of history to share with us. Once again, we conclude the podcast as I bring you the latest Chapter 84 news, including updates on meetings and events.

Captain of the Queen of the skies Rex Smith joins me this month to share his aviation life story. From his time in the Air Force, to his career as a Captain in a major airline and most recently a builder of an RV9, Rex Smith has earned the title of aviator. We conclude the podcast as I bring you the latest Chapter 84 news, including updates on meetings and events.

From humble beginnings to amazing adventures and along the way some unexpected luck, our guest this month is long time chapter member Tom Williams. Tom has some great memories to share, from early life on a ranch in Nebraska, where he had his first aviation encounter, to an unforgettable student pilot prank. Tom shares some great advice and sentiment along the way. His determination to complete a project is what experimental amateur built aviation is all about. You can find him in the chapter hangar these days working hard to finish his Starduster 2 project.

Our guest this month has been a member of the chapter for over 10 years and should be a familiar face to anyone who regularly attends the general meeting.

How that path led him to choose the airplane he is currently close to completing and some of the trials and tribulations along the way to where he is at now. We wrap up with some chapter announcements and big news from EAA HQ regarding a new flight testing program. Make sure you smash that LIKE button!
