Richard Browning is a former oil trader and Royal Marines reservist who, over the period of several years, created a concept that would enable us to break the bonds of Gravity without the need for wings to take us into the realm usually reserved only for birds and aircraft. It’s certainly been a journey of ups (and downs) but as far as an inspirational journey to turn a dream into reality goes, it doesn’t get much better than this! Today, it is a huge pleasure and extremely exciting to welcome the real life Iron Man to the podcast, who has gained global notoriety and the interest of some of the worlds leading industries, marketeers and even the military with his awesome concept.

It could be argued that any true pilot will LOVE Top Gun! For those not old enough to remember it, or for those that haven’t seen it, you HAVE to check out one of the most iconic opening scenes to any movie EVER! Steam catapult launches and landings onboard the floating airfield that is an aircraft carrier - as epic as it gets! For me, it was the movie that ignited my passion for aviation and I would give one of my flying arms to have be launched from a ship from 0-200 mph in just a couple of seconds! In this episode, I'm super excited to be talking to a pilot that has not just experienced the reality of this, but who will also be talking about loads of other cool things that will get that adrenaline flowing!

I was a small child with a big dream - a dream to become a fighter pilot. In my way stood countless challenges, obstacles and many disappointments, but I did it! Of course, in reality, not every dream turns out exactly as you expected, and there were plenty of other difficult, sometimes tragic, but often wonderful experiences along the way. In this episode, I chart a plotted history of my journey to fighter pilot and beyond. I hope that you enjoy listening to the journey and will tune back in for some highly regarded, talented and interesting guests that we will be welcoming to our podcast journey very soon!

In this episode, we go “international” and speak with no less than 4 guests! All of them are inspirational characters, with some awesome backgrounds; from law and politics to a social media marketer and everything in-between! All have 2 things in common though - they form the 5-10% of female aviators entering the profession and are also members of one of the largest aviation communities in the world, inspiring and educating young women to dream bigger.

Once upon a time, a young lad from Stoke had a dream to become a fighter pilot. However, he was told by his school careers teacher that "...people from around here don't do stuff like that". 30 years later, already a distinguished frontline Harrier pilot, he is now a highly regarded pilot and figure in the world of aircraft development and testing. "Reach for the stars – even if you don't make it, you might just land on the moon".

Mo T - The Airport Guy
For Flying Out Loud
05/22/24 • 56 min
Aviation is such a great community of likeminded people, but some people just have that knack of bringing that community together in a way that is truly inspirational. I first came across today’s guest on instagram, drawn in by his infectious character, unique presenting style and his ability to make the ‘behind the scenes’ of an airport come to life for millions of people around the world. Mohammad Taher is a former engineer turned aerodrome systems specialist who has used his infectious enthusiasm for aviation and the aviation community to pivot his career. Now regarded as one of the best motivational speakers in the aviation sphere, he is also a TEDx speaker, skydiver and triathlete (Is this James Bond I hear you say?!) As of today, he has more than 152,000 followers on instagram and is rapidly gaining global recognition from airports, airlines and more.

Black Cats - Lieutenant’s Michael Vivian and Scott Sunderland
For Flying Out Loud
02/23/25 • 64 min
In this episode we welcome Lieutenant’s Michael Vivian and Scott Sunderland to the For Flying Out Loud podcast. They are two serving members of the Royal Navy, both serving as Fleet Air Arm pilots on the Wildcat helicopter. In 2024, these two pilots embarked upon a challenging but as you’ll learn, extremely rewarding journey to re-launch the display of the Wildcat Helicopter in an exhilarating pairs display season.
Unlike most other display teams, the job of these isn’t to display for the public. It’s to teach the next generation of aviators to fly and fight the Wildcat Helicopter.
2024 saw the team awarded the Steedman Sword at RIAT for best British Display Team, beating the Red Arrows, Typhoon and Chinook Display teams of the RAF. The first time this had been won since the predecessors to the Black Cats, the Lynx pair in 2003.
