| Volplane 1997-1999 |
| Although Volplane disbanded in 1999, it was the band responsible for spawning the ideology that became Flight Approved Records. Volplane was initially formed in the spring of 1996 by guitarists Jeff Suthers and Todd Ayers. A lineup change in 1997 left core members Jeff Suthers (guitars), Dicky Bosse (drums) and Shannon Stein (bass). From 1997-1999, Volplane forged ahead and spent the larger part of two years in their home studio recording what should have been two records that were never officially released: VOLPLANE and MERLOT.
In 2006, Flight Approved Records released a limited edition CDR retrospective, with some of the band’s favorite tracks from 1997-1999. This retrospective was the first Volplane to be officially released and included 17 tracks taken mostly from the two never-released albums VOLPLANE and MERLOT. CDR copies of the Volplane retrospective are now sold out, but the tracks will remain available through Flight Approved Records as digital downloads.
