Wings Over Solano Airshow returns to Travis Air Force Base on April 25–26.

I’ll be performing in the TS-11 Iskra, a rare historic jet with over 50 years of service and currently the only one flying in North America.

There’s a full lineup of great performers, and the event is free to the public.

If you’re local, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Most mistakes don’t happen in the moment.
They’re set in motion long before.

The decisions you make before you start…
are the ones that matter most.

“Can we go?” and “Should we go?” are two very different questions.

A flight can be completely legal… and still be a bad decision.

Happy Easter from RenegadeAV8R.

I remember one Easter when I was flying for the airlines. My wife and oldest daughter were non-reving in the back. I bought an easter basket for my daughter and put it behind my seat. Then I called her up to the cockpit over the PA and told her the Easter Bunny came and left her something. ….That smile on her face! Simple times mean the most…..

This is how people crash airplanes.

It’s not one big mistake. It’s a chain of small decisions that build over time.

In the full video, I go deeper into how to recognize that chain early and stop it before it escalates.

CRM was supposed to be about performance. Then it turned into a bunch of fluff. That’s the problem.

Not rejecting it.
Just rescuing it!

You can’t CRM your way out of bad flying.

When skill drops, situational awareness goes with it.
You fall behind the aircraft.
You lose control of the outcome.

And at that point… no system is saving you.

Most pilots misunderstand CRM.

It got soft.

Somewhere along the line, it stopped being about performance…
and started being about making sure everyone is heard.

But aviation isn’t a group discussion.

At the end of the day, someone is in command.

Modern aviation has never been more advanced.

Better cockpits. Smarter automation. More data than ever before.

And yet… the same mistakes keep showing up.

That’s because the real problem was never the technology.

Our Story

This is the official page for The Renegade AV8R Radio Show and our RenegadeAV8R JET DEMO airshow team. We promote aviation. The Renegade AV8R Radio Show is our way of giving back to the aviation community, current pilots and future aviators! We have the opportunity to meet our fans live and in person with our RenegadeAV8R JET Airshow Team.

The RenegadeAV8R Radio Show is now nationally syndicated on the Salem Radio Network. David combines his passion for aviation and quest for excellence in a unique format that inspires YOU to find your passion and achieve your dreams. This show is a refreshing alternative to traditional talk radio and has something for everyone who has ever looked to the sky and smiled. Our audience is the airshow audience, a mix of pilots and non-pilots, but people who are looking to be inspired and inspire others. Be excellent and help others be excellent. Each week we interview airshow performers, aviation professionals, and people with stories that inspire and entertain.

We combine our radio show with our JET DEMO airshow. The TS-11 ISKRA has seen over 50 years of active military service. This is very unique for any military jet. The TS-11 Iskra is unique in jet airshows. We can keep this jet very tight to the audience, the ability of this jet to fly slow....less than 100 mph and fast....in excess of 400 miles per hour make it very unique and a crowd favorite!

Airshows are huge spectator events. Great people coming out to see great performers that inspire those great people to do great things in their lives! Airshows attract people of all ages, from all walks of life. Our performance is just a small part of the airshow experience. We welcome the opportunity to have our fans look at our jet up close, and personal. We welcome the opportunity to have you meet David Costa, THE RenegadeAV8R.....
