Stephan and Fozz are headed around the world this week, with plenty of hijinks along the way.

Picking up a soon-to-be-disappearing line almost translates into a disappearing bag. Plus new routes, more planes, and a fewer flights at Newark.

Flying the Air Inuit 737-200 Combi to Puvirnituq’s gravel runway is an AvGeek bucket list item. Alas, the 47-year old plane had other ideas. But we still had an interesting/good time.

A funky trip to Hamburg, a new mini-hublet, and wondering about inbound international travel (again) among our ramblings this week.

Another rough week for aviation in many ways. And plenty of concerns about what lays ahead.
We’re back in the USA and ready for some news and rants this week. Some of them are even reasonable.
