Welcome to this special joint episode of the Hangar Z podcast and the Vertical Valor Flight Crew podcast, previewing the 2026 ECCO Public Safety Aviation Conference.

We have some amazing social events planned for the conference, which I think is really gonna be awesome to, to be able to hang out and network with people in a little bit of a different way.

And I think that's what I love about going to these ECCO conferences so much is there's not everything separate.

Everybody is actually together all the time, when you're learning and when you're getting to network outside and enjoying some of these social events.

Thank you to our sponsors, CNC Technologies, Dallas Avionics, and Metro Aviation.

John, welcome.

Hey, what's up, guys? Good to see you.

So we're gonna try to talk, give everybody a little bit of a preview about what the ECCO conference here in Philly, uh, coming up is gonna be about.

Well, um, we- we're not gonna let you go away empty-handed.

You know what? Your final prize on Virgin Radio is the ECCO shoes worth 1,000 dirhams.

[laughs]

[laughs] Thank you.

... that last because they matter so much.

Shout out to ECCO.

Yeah.

He's, he's, uh, completely unprepared for any sort of inclement weather.
