The Las Vegas strip is open again. Or at least open-ish. It is a far cry from the typical levels of action and activity, but things are starting to come back and it is very different. But also very the same. Here’s a first-hand report from the Strip on opening weekend.
DLD 294: It’s Electric!

Whether taxiing to the runway or taking off for the skies, electric power is a growing part of the flying experience. Which is pretty damn cool.
DLD 280: Alliance dalliances

A new alliance affiliation, a new secondary cities airline in the USA and unblocking EuroBiz middles: What does it all mean?!?
Strikes happen. In aviation the impact can be dramatic, but usually it gets figured out well enough. British Airways managed to throw that playbook out the window this week, however.
New Dreamliner configurations, a new deal for collusion and an awesome 747 fly-by, all part of the excitement in this week’s show!
Big fines for airlines, big meal service changes and big new aircraft plans highlight this weeks show!
DLD 237: Wow, ‘Dam MAX Jet!

Can Jet and WOW overcome massive financial challenges to stay in business? Will the MAX issues hurt Boeing long-term? And some Amsterdam news, too.
What’s in store this week?? Perhaps it is a surprise for everyone. Owing to some excitement in the recording and editing process we’re all about to find out together!
The US government shutdown finally took its toll on a pair of inaugurals, and a few others are giving up, too.
Bad things come in threes, right? Hopefully that’s the case here as Boeing wraps a pretty bad run of incidents with its aircraft. Plus, a 3 day delay and a seized plane!
