DLD 470: Out of service

a plane flying in the sky

What’s the silliest reason you’ve ever heard of for planes to be removed from service? We might have a new top contender for that title.

DLD 423: Are you aware??

A small commercial airplane with "Universal Hydrogen" branding on its fuselage is taking off from a runway. The aircraft has a colorful design with blue, white, and red elements, and the tail features a logo with a hydrogen symbol. The background shows a partly cloudy sky and a landscape with fields and distant buildings.

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that’s way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we’ve seen lately.

DLD 409: Sorry we missed you

Alt text: A nighttime view of an airport with modern, illuminated streetlights lining the road. In the background, there is a control tower and a distinctive, futuristic building with an arched design. Several vehicles, including a bus, are visible on the road.

Maybe we’re supposed to say something in advance when the publishing schedule changes. Oopsie.

DLD 407: No first? No problem!

Aerial view of an airport with multiple airplanes parked at the gates and taxiing on the runway. The image shows a control tower in the center and various airport buildings and infrastructure. The wing of an airplane is visible in the foreground, indicating that the photo was taken from inside an aircraft. The surrounding landscape includes fields and distant buildings under a partly cloudy sky.

What happens when you dupe consumers for decades with the confusing names between classes of service then make a change to a tiny part of the fleet? Fun times, indeed.

DLD 348: Lost and Found

We lost last week’s episode, but came back strong this time around with planes big and small crossing oceans and some fun new routes and money for US startups.

DLD 311: Farewell to the 580s

A twin-engine propeller airplane from Air Chathams is flying over a coastal landscape. The aircraft is white with green accents and has the airline's logo on the tail. Below, there is a view of the coastline with sandy beaches, green fields, and a body of water. The sky is partly cloudy.

No, that’s not a typo. We’re mourning the loss of the Convair 580s from commercial service, now slated for next year, among many other things in this week’s episode.
