They dig into what makes the aircraft stand out, where it falls short against competitors, and what Dassault’s delivery struggles may signal about priorities inside a company balancing business jets and defense. Then they turn to the continuing AOPA leadership drama , unpacking the timeline behind the CEO exit, the board fallout, proxy backlash, and what the controversy says about trust, governance, and the future of advocacy organizations in aviation. They also cover a little-known but important maintenance fight involving Part 145 repair stations , new FAA movement on mixed traffic and see-and-avoid , the latest tragedy tied to runway incursion risk , and why astronomers are panicking over the next generation of Starlink satellites . A packed episode with aircraft, politics, regulation, safety, and just enough Mile High Madness.
