The Pyjama Pilots are back! Jimbo, Pedro and Hoodie are tackling the big questions in aviation, business and technology — with varying levels of expertise and absolutely no shortage of questionable decision-making.
This episode, Jimbo tries to convince the boys that his $40,000-plus collection of old car parts is actually a brilliant business opportunity, while Pedro and Hoodie do their best to talk him out of digging an even deeper financial hole. We get into the future of agricultural aviation, million-dollar spray drones, AI-powered weed killing, and whether pilots are about to become obsolete.
Then things take a turn down memory lane, with tales of airborne magnetic surveys, sleeping operators, dodgy navigation, terrifying thunderstorms, and some memorable adventures flying around Africa — including questionable approaches, mysterious airport fees, and a few situations where just getting back on the ground was an achievement in itself.
Three pilots, plenty of opinions, questionable business plans, and stories that probably shouldn't be repeated in front of the CAA.
Get comfortable, put your flying helmets on, and join the boys for another episode of the Pyjama Pilots.

#22 Stick and rudder Bullpaki
After accidentally turning up to record with absolutely no plan, Jimbo somehow manages to drag Episode 22 into existence with Hoodie and Pedro joining the chaos shortly after. What follows is a proper hangar-style yarn covering everything from firebombing in Perth, topdressing careers, Coast to Coast training, and sky-high fuel prices, through to chemical ratings, old aviation stories, and whether drones will eventually kill ag flying. Along the way, Jimbo reveals his latest business venture — buying a mountain of dead-stock auto parts and storing them in the shed — despite Hoodie repeatedly calling it a terrible idea. There’s plenty of laughs, questionable financial decisions, aviation nostalgia, and the usual sideways tangents that somehow keep the whole thing airborne. Buckle up your seatbelts, folks — this one feels less like a podcast and more like sitting in the hangar after knock-off with a beer in hand.

#21 Whoopsie Daisies! Ground Loops, Bird Strikes & Almost Dying in Nepal
A loose, unfiltered catch-up with the boys covering everything from flying over Christmas with medevac runs and life in the cockpit. What starts as casual chat quickly turns into a string of “whoopsie daisy” moments—ground loops, rough strips, turbulence hits, and the kind of decisions that seem like a good idea… until they aren’t.
There’s talk of taildraggers vs nose-draggers, operating into sketchy strips, and how quickly things can unravel when conditions, experience, and instinct don’t quite line up. It’s equal parts storytelling, lessons learned the hard way, and classic pilot banter.
If you’ve spent time around aircraft—or just enjoy hearing how things go wrong and right again—this one hits home.
