SEASON 2 EPISODE #1 – “Big Tire Bro Chat” with Nico and Maxence

Our #S2 E1 – “Big Tire Bro Chat” with Nico Engmann and Maxence Pons.

“First landing on an asphalt runway more than three years after getting my licence!” – Nico Engmann

In this first episode of TSC season 2, we enjoy a “Big Tire Bro Chat” with Nico Engmann from Germany/Spain and Maxence Pons from France –looking back at when and where they started their backcountry and mountain flying adventures as well as about their respective planes.

We looked back to 2021 when several friends of us including myself and Marius Jumolea from Romania flew to the French national STOL competition. We talked about STOL competitions expending in France and as well about flight helmets. Sorry about some screechy noises coming back and forth during the episode. I tried to remove as much of them as I could in post processing. Maxence owes me a cold one for being the culprit 😀

If you search for an awesome vacation place in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees mountains and love riding enduro motorcycles, go checkout Nico’s wife and family camping/bungalow park “Isabena Bungalow Park”.

If you happen to stay in the south-East of France and want to fly, go check out Maxence’s flight school “Aeroclub du Soleil” in Cuers. https://aeroclubdusoleil.fr
