Aired on June 12

Doug is back in California for a break from KC46 training and Drew is managing through the crazy busy Summer flght schedule. We touch on the Air India diversion to Siberia and SFO go-arounds drama before we head down memory taxi lane with a look back at the Boeing 727. Also on this episode:

  • SAS opens up reservations on the first electric airliner - the Heart ES 30

  • B52 Stratofortress might fly for 100 years with new engines and navigations systems

  • Jetblue offers slots at LGA to Frontier in an effort to get its Spirit merger through

  • Who is DB Cooper and why are 727 rear stairs named after him, and should they be the Richard McCoy stairs?

Join the fun!
