DLD 532: The Trip That Didn’t Happen

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.

DLD 491: More bad news for Boeing, but maybe it is good?

A trio of Boeing stories top the show this week. And somehow pleading guilty to a crime might end up being good for the company?

DLD 463: Looking to lose weight (restrictions)

Long flights come with challenging performance requirements. Delta looks to shed some weight restrictions and United may be adding some next year.

DLD 436: The future of travel, as predicted at AIX 2023

Two men are sitting in what appear to be airplane seats, each wearing a high-visibility vest (one in yellow and the other in orange). They are smiling at the camera. The seats have tray tables extended in front of them. In the background, there are other people standing and some construction materials on the floor.

What does the future of air travel hold? Odds are it will appear on the show floor at Aircraft Interiors Expo a few years before it flies, and we’ve got a report from the show.

DLD 391: Some Independence thinking

A long, narrow causeway stretches out into the sea, partially submerged by water. The causeway is made of concrete tiles and is flanked by seaweed-covered rocks and shallow water. In the distance, a few people are walking along the causeway. A tall, thin pole stands on a stone base to the left of the causeway. The sky is overcast, and the overall scene appears calm and serene.

Great news: The holiday weekend wasn’t a total meltdown, despite warnings from airlines.
