Young Guns of Warbirds: Job Savage and Friends Bring Fresh Energy to Vintage Aviation WARBIRD RADIO - If you’ve spent any time around the warbird community, you know it’s built on passion—passion for history, for flight, and for keeping these incredible machines in the air. But keeping that passion alive for the next generation? That’s a challenge. Fortunately, a new wave of young aviators and restorers are stepping up, bringing fresh energy to the movement, and leading the charge is none other than Job Savage. On this episode of Warbird Radio, we sit down with Job and his flying buddy Luke Hedin, two young pilots who are making waves in the vintage military aircraft world. Their enthusiasm is undeniable, and their commitment to honoring history through hands-on flying and restoration work is nothing short of inspiring. From stick-and-rudder flying to wrench-turning in the hangar, these guys are all in. Later in the episode, we catch up with Job’s father, serial entrepreneur and aviation publisher Tim Savage. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and Tim’s lifelong dedication to aviation has clearly influenced Job’s passion. But what’s most impressive isn’t just their personal involvement—it’s their generosity in opening doors for others. The Savage's and their friends understand that for this movement to thrive, it has to grow. That means creating opportunities for young pilots, maintenance professionals, and restoration experts to get involved, learn the ropes, and carry the torch forward. Their love of all things warbirds is infectious, and hopefully, their generosity is contagious. Our community needs more young hands on the controls and under the cowling, and seeing what the Savage's are doing is proof that the next generation is ready to take flight. Adding to their efforts, the Savage's are now offering DC-3 flight training and type ratings, further expanding opportunities for aspiring aviators.
