S2E44 - Action Jackson, Bush Planes, and Drunk Beetle Decisions
Send us Fan Mail In S2E44 , we bring Jackson on for the first time and immediately get into Europe, Tucson heat, brick houses that refuse to cool down, and why Ian’s biggest complaint is still no AC. Jackson talks about his new private jet flying gig, hitting 49 out of 50 states, Alaska float planes, bush pilots, scary little-plane stories, and why he is absolutely not a water-plane guy. We also get into The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , buying art in Europe and accidentally paying more for shipping than the artwork, trains versus planes, getting stuck on the Dallas airport Skylink, flying railroad security for BNSF, catching people by the tracks with heat cameras, and why train thieves apparently wait for thunderstorms. From there, we talk mechanic life, airline benefits, brutal ramp temperatures, Phoenix heat shutting down takeoffs, negative-fifty cold, Robby’s climatic lab memories, cigars, vapes, car wraps, rust, Japan’s strict JCI inspections, Jackson’s GTI engine disaster, Robby’s Beetle still needing wiring and a motor, fun little manual cars, EcoSport Mario Kart energy, drunk Facebook Marketplace decisions, and buying a turbo Beetle because the guy actually drove it down to Tucson.
