On episode 84, Micah and I continue my coverage of the Pacific Airshow Gold Coast at Surfers Paradise, Australia.

But first, we hear from Chef Kathy about her return trip from Las Vegas... and she really was lucky because she won the lottery!

Listener Lu wants to know about flight attendants and if they have preferred routes.

Then I get to comment on how United still isn't being helpful on the ground. 

We learn why I decided to fly home early before we play some interviews from the airshow.

The first interview is with Angela (not Emma) and Mark of the Freedom Formation. They are part of the team that makes up the largest flying collection of Vans aircraft.

I also get to talk with Mandy Hentschel and Nathan Blackberry of Westpac, the rescue / lifesaving service of Australia.

I conclude my interviews with Angus Ashcroft from the Gold Coast Training and Flight School, a unique flight instructor program located at the Gold Coast airport.

And if anyone is interested in joining me on a trip to Africa in September or October, 2025, please let me know so I can get you more information.

Opening and closing music for The Journey Is The Reward podcast is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir, recorded live in the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia.

We hope you enjoy the show!
