Better late than never, right? We didn’t hit the numbers, but at least we were able to turn off the runway before the end of November.

Help Wanted! Hangar 49 has been plagued by technical issues such as lost recordings, bad microphone quality, editing delays, and bad jokes. We blame our production staff for everything. So, we are looking for help. We need a production team member who is an experienced and qualified audio engineer, network administrator, editor, news director, web designer, script writer, comedy writer, commercial pilot, CFII, and janitor who can work under pressure in a fast-paced environment while being supervised by crazy micro-managers. There is no salary, no insurance, no sick days, and no paid vacation. If this sounds like your dream job, please send us your resume. Oh, and listen to our latest episode: Book: First Light by Geoffrey Wellum Interview: James Polivka/Cubcrafters Website: FlightRadar24 Song: The Kinks/(Wish I could Fly Like) Superman |
