Day One of our very first Story Stop Tour at Oshkosh, and we already found two stories we couldn't wait to tell. First up: @beringeraero, the brand behind those unmistakable colored wheels and brakes on the ramp — started as a racing brake company in 1985, now flying on aircraft all over the world. We get the origin story, the science behind the color, and a quick lesson in how brakes actually stop a plane. We also talk to delivery pilot @pilot.doma, who flew the whole cross-country Runway to Oshkosh trip in @tecnam_aircraft equipped with Beringer brakes and wheels. Then we cross a few short yards to @michelinaircraft — yes, THAT Michelin — for a company history that goes from a 1908 volcano-top flying contest the Wright brothers won, to maps that helped the Allies in WWII, to tires on the Space Shuttle! PLUS-- we're joined by Michelin-sponsored solo aerobatic performer @extremeflight (Pat McAlee), who treats sustainability like a personal mission, and @full_throttle_formation_team, the 12-ship team that started by drawing smoke hearts over Atlanta during COVID. This is Story Stop Tour, day one. Lots more stops to come. 🎧 New episode is live now — link in bio. 👉 Subscribe so you don't miss the next stop, and drop us a review if you're feeling generous.

✈️ One free flight. Nearly $500K in scholarships. A 98% completion rate. New episode is live — @shawnstaerker talks with Rachelle Spector, founder of @ihartflying , about turning a random Facebook message into a nonprofit that's changing the trajectory of women in aviation. 🎓 Inside this one: the HARTLed model, the real numbers behind the pilot and maintenance workforce shortage, building HARTNation, and advice for the next generation — never let anyone tell you there's something you can't do. 💜 Plus: favorite in-flight snacks, dream aircraft (F-22, anyone?), and Rachelle's dream co-pilot.

It’s National Aviation Day — and our first episode since Oshkosh just landed. Couldn’t have planned it better. ✈️ General aviation is a time machine. This episode: Kirk Fryar from Sarasota Avionics (@sarasotaavionics ) on flying to see mom AND catching a concert in the same weekend, Captain Val (@skyline_baron_pilot ) on the pre-flight discipline that keeps her flying safe and the stunning destinations she visits for her YouTube channel. Rachelle Spector on turning one free flight into @ihartflying — a nonprofit that’s fueled almost $500K in flight training. 🎓 PLUS: our full recap of the first-ever Story Stop Tour at #EAAAirVenture Oshkosh. Seven days. A dozen+ stops. So many great conversations. 🛩️ 🎧 Link in bio — new episode is live now, on the day that celebrates everything we love about flight. 👉 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one, and drop us a review if you’re feeling generous.

Maybe freedom isn’t just found in the sky. Maybe it’s found in the people who remind you why you started flying in the first place. For us, Full Throttle has never been just about formation flying. It’s about friendships built over thousands of miles, early morning briefings, shared laughter, unwavering trust, and a passion that only grows stronger when it’s shared. Every airshow is another opportunity to entertain, educate, and inspire. Every performance is a chance to remind someone on the ground that the sky isn’t the limit. It’s an invitation. If one person leaves looking up with a new dream, every mile was worth it. Because the greatest part of what we do isn’t the flying. It’s the message we leave behind.

Oshkosh always delivers. This year, Full Throttle had the opportunity to fly alongside @volaravionics Lightning TTP-38, a remarkable two-thirds scale tribute to the legendary P-38 Lightning. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and we’re grateful to have shared the sky together. A huge thank you to the Volar team, @skinnybennymyburgh ,and everyone who helped make this photo flight possible. 📸 @bellakshoots @caleb_king @pilot.doma @fif_pod
