Description

"I know that airplane pretty well, but it doesn't matter. We go through the same process every year as if you're coming to a new aircraft. Because the only way to train proficiency, is to be disciplined."


Geoff Latter is an airline captain and an airshow pilot flying a Nanchang CJ-6 and now a Yak-50. In this first of two episodes, we take a deep dive with Geoff about aerobatics, developing a show routine, and the business of airshows.


We talked for well over an hour, and as you’ll hear, speaking with Geoff is like drinking from a firehose of knowledge and stories…so I wanted to give the discussion it's full due over two episodes. Part 2 features in-depth discussion about his new Yak-50.
