Cool! We really enjoy our time chatting with Matt and it was great to meet him last year up at Namurkah. One of these days I’m hoping to have enough $$$ so I can get a flight in that Mustang with him :)

That’s OK Rob – the more languages you learn the better for you :)

Now if only we could get Airplane Geeks to record at a more civilised time I could finally get on and chat with you about your Top Gun flying. Here I was thinking it was Hot Shots you were in :)

Except for the fact that this show is performed entirely in the Australian language, I quite enjoyed it.

Never really understood in-flight refueling until Matt explained it.

BTW, did I tell you the story about how I did all the flying for the film, “Top Gun?” It is so true!

Stop by Airplane Geeks and we’ll talk.

Good show guys!

Great interview guys. It’s the best interview with Matt Hall I’ve ever heard, and great to see the guy get a little bit more local exposure.

Phil: I did my first gliding on Blaniks and still have a very special place for them. Amazingly fun to fly (especially through a loop :) and the trim felt just like a throttle so with trim in the left hand, stick in the right and tandem seating, it was *so* easy to believe you were in a combat jet :)

Adrian: Thanks for the info re: the Show Us Ya Wheels event. I’ve added it to my calendar and will see how things are going around November re: getting out there for the dinner.

Phil….I agree completely ith your comments re. the cost of flying in Australia. This is what forced me out of flying, and has kept me out for so many years…and why we thought it important to include Matts comments on the subject.
Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. We really appreciate it.

What a fantastic interview, very entertaining and offered a great insight into his background. I never knew he started off flying gliders, Blaniks even!! I started my flying in those gliders at RAAF Amberley back in the early 80′s and eventually got into aerobatics out of Bankstown. But he’s right about one thing, trying to buy an aircraft here is not the same as in the States, let alone flying in one as it’s getting so expensive. I think very few people can afford the luxury of a mortgage and the costs of learning to fly and that is very disappointing.
