A Collection of Selected Aviation Podcasts and Videocasts
This page will provide you with links to some of our favorite aviation podcasts that consistently provide safety news and education as well as current events and interesting aviation topics. The featured sites may or may not represent SCAUWG.ORG, or any of the membership of SCAUWG. SCAUWG.ORG provides this page as a community service, but understandably is unable to provide a specific endorsement for any of the covered material. SCAUWG.ORG always recommends that site visitors consult with their own aviation mentors for personal advice. Still under construction, I will be adding newly found podcasts regularly...

Chuck Fulton (Host) is a glider pilot from the Mid Atlantic who fell in love with soaring like many after his first flight. Soon he was bringing his friends to the glider port to share this great sport. Chuck wanted to share it with as many people as he could and found it hard to believe so many people were not aware of soaring. With a background in broadcasting, he was looking at podcasts only to find there was little to be found on soaring. After lots of thought and planning, he launched the first episode of the podcast soaring the sky. Since then the podcast has had many great guests from all over the globe with some amazing stories and journeys soaring the sky. We hope you continue to enjoy each and every episode and are happy to have you as part of this great soaring community. Find this Podcast by Clicking HERE.
