In our third Q&A call for Oddball Pilot members we continued the conversation with U.K. pilot Gareth Bliss.

Topics covered included:

• A recap of how Gareth found his way into the cockpit of a PBY-5A Catalina
• Training to fly the Catalina
• His next dream job
• The details of how airshow displays work
• The different European airshows
• How they get airshow bookings
• Wrenching in the off-season
• Full-time airshow pilots vs. part-time volunteers
• Making dreams real (and the importance of taking action!)

Have an idea for a Q&A session topic? Let us know.
