FLIGHTDECK Q3 2026 Issue 03
The cover story leaves the atmosphere: Phil Klose sits down with Max Haot, CEO of VAST, inside the Long Beach factory building what could be the first commercial successor to the International Space Station — and floats an idea Max is happy to get behind: one capsule, crewed entirely by YPO.
Back at flying altitude: Chad "PB" Robbins — twenty-one years in the F-15E, now an instructor and check airman in the same PC-12s and PC-24s many of us fly — on how smart, experienced pilots crash perfect airplanes. Paras Dhamecha is level at FL360 when his GPS starts lying to him. Jeff Rhodes opens the underwriter's notebook on flight data and insurance. Josh Gunderson, former F-22 Demo Team commander, on why every aviator needs a mentor. Then the trip reports: a PC-24 from Texas to Uruguay in a single day, Brandon Webb's Bonanza ferry past jammed GPS and a ghost airport in Poland, and a Fireblade AW139 flying food to rooftops in flooded Mozambique. Plus a tour of the community's new home at yposky.org.
56 pages. Written entirely by YPO SKY members, for the people who fly, own, build, and can't stop looking up.
