The "Santa's Checkride" Joke

After checking the sleigh and the reindeer's weight and balance, the examiner climbs in with a shotgun. When an incredulous Santa asks why, the examiner replies, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you're going to lose an engine on takeoff".

Snow falls heavy blankets the streets

Cherries frozen in the winter's deep

Wind bites sharp like a wolf's howl

Trees stand bare but they wear it proud

Oh Traverse City snowbound dream

Ice and frost in the cold moonbeam

Laughing loud through the winter scene

Oh Traverse City snowbound dream

Lake Michigan sleeps under icy glass

Whitecaps frozen in a moment's grasp

Footsteps crunch on the powdered ground

Silence echoes the only sound

Cold hands but hearts so warm

We weather every storm

Oh Traverse City snowbound dream

Crystal skies where the starlight gleams

Bonfire glow in the midnight stream

Oh Traverse City snowbound dream

Ski trails weaving through the pines

Hot cocoa steam like borrowed time

Frozen docks and a snowball fight

Winter's magic in the northern light

He begins the interview with Dan, who shares his background as a former funeral director and his journey into aviation. Dan discusses how his retirement was dull, prompting him to seek involvement in the airport authority, leading to the creation of Legacy Aviation.

The conversation covers the school's unique one-year program, facilitated by new FAA regulations aimed at addressing a significant shortage of A&P mechanics projected in the coming years. Dan explains how they turned the idea of creating a mechanic school into reality, assisted by Dr. Sean Galligan, who helped them develop the program within a year. The school allows students to learn in a hands-on environment, focusing on practical experience with various projects like safety wiring and riveting.

Dan highlights that students can expect a tight-knit learning environment, with a favorable instructor-to-student ratio, and discusses the school's job placement success rate, boasting that all graduates find jobs shortly after completing their training. He outlines how the school has gradually increased its student enrollment and plans to accept even more in the future.

Throughout the interview, they touch on the various learning facilities, the support for veterans, and the exciting community atmosphere that has emerged around the school. The program includes additional support to ensure all students can take their FAA licensing exams without the financial burden typically associated with such tests.

As the episode concludes, Mike expresses admiration for the school and the opportunities it provides for aspiring mechanics, inviting listeners to learn more about Legacy Aviation through their website. Mike thanks Dan for the interview, emphasizing the importance of the program and the community it fosters. The conversation showcases not only the educational value but also the sense of belonging and connection within the aviation community in Traverse City.

Mike encourages listeners to access the podcast through better options than just the website, which he identifies as cupoftraversecity.com, forwarding to podcast.show/cotc. He points out a prominent section where listeners can follow the podcast on various platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Android apps.

He explains that for those signing up, there’s an option to receive episodes via email, which is not a standard email list but a subscription method to alert them when a new episode is released. This allows listeners to easily access episodes while enjoying their morning coffee.

Mike discusses the timing of the episode releases, intending to publish them around 8 AM Eastern Time (Traverse City time), and he acknowledges that the timing might be inconsistent. He introduces a feature called "pod ping," which allows quicker updates on certain podcast apps. He mentions specific apps that update nearly instantly if they’re compatible with pod ping, including Podcast Guru for Android and Podverse or Castomatic for iOS. He also notes that while Apple Podcasts generally do not update instantly, there are exceptions.

He emphasizes the importance of subscribing or following the podcast on their preferred app, again clarifying there’s no cost involved. Mike concludes by appreciating the listeners, mentioning that future episodes will be more structured, covering weather updates and local news, and he intends to keep episodes around five minutes, although he has exceeded that in this episode. He wraps up by inviting listeners to tune in for the first official episode on December 1, 2025.

Mike then addresses recent crime incidents in Traverse City, highlighting concerns about safety in the growing city. He recounts two significant cases: a couple of kids involved in breaking into cars and shooting at police, which resulted in a fatality, and a kidnapping attempt at a Meyer gas station involving a 51-year-old man from Traverse City, who is facing felony charges. He expresses his thoughts on crime in the area, noting that while there are troubling incidents, he still feels safe in his part of town. 

He concludes by mentioning the overall demographics of Traverse City—16,000 residents in the city and over 100,000 in the county—and reflects on the balance of safety and the occasional crime. Mike shares some current weather observations, including unsuitable flying conditions, and reiterates the test nature of the episode. He encourages listeners to provide feedback and hopes to keep future episodes concise, aimed to be under five minutes. He signs off by signaling a continuation of the daily segments.
