SMAC356 Porsche and Planes
Aug 15, 202627 min
What happens when Porsches, airplanes, aviation enthusiasts, young aviators, and community organizations all come together in one hangar? In this episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast, we visit the Porsche & Planes Morning Social, presented by Jeremy & Kilo Aviation at Lakeland Linder International Airport (KLAL). The event brought together premium automobiles, aircraft, pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and members of the local community for a morning centered around a shared passion for cars and flying. We also sit down for several conversations highlighting different sides of the aviation community. Featured Interviews Fly With Jeremy We talk with Jeremy about the idea behind Porsche & Planes, why he created an event combining automobiles and aviation, and how gatherings like this can introduce more people to general aviation. We also discuss building community around the airport and Jeremy's passion for sharing aviation with others. Young Aviator Wyatt One of the highlights of the event is meeting Wyatt, a young aviation enthusiast with big aviation dreams. We talk about what sparked his interest in airplanes, what he hopes to accomplish in aviation, and why exposing young people to aircraft, pilots, and airports can have such an impact on their future. American Red Cross We speak with representatives from the American Red Cross about its mission, its role in the community, and opportunities for aviation professionals and volunteers to use their skills to help others.

Using the E6B Question suggestions: • Discovery of a footlocker containing 500–600 wartime letters from John B. andBob—What was it like reading them for the first time, and when did you realize there was a book hidden inside • Why was the Ploesti campaign so important to the outcome of World War II? • The strategic importance of Operation Tidal Wave; what went wrong? • While the letters kick-started the project, you often say your whole life prepared you to write this story. What do you mean by that, and how did your father influence that journey? • How did your 30-year career as a litigation paralegal help you uncover and reconstruct events that happened more than 80 years ago? • During your research, was there a discovery that changed your understanding of your father, your uncle, or the war itself? • Operation Reunion is considered the largest air evacuation in history. Why is this extraordinary mission so little known today? • Were there moments when the emotional weight of the story forced you to step away from the project? • How researching and writing The Navigator's Letter gave her new insights into duty, loyalty, sacrifice, courage, and love. • If your father and uncle could read The Navigator's Letter today, what do you think they would say?

Recent guests on Stuck Mic AvCast - An Aviation Podcast About Learning to Fly, Living to Fly, and Loving to Fly!. Study who booked and why before you pitch.
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
